You're doing a fabulous job with that paintwork Malc, that's a great finish, and the model looks so much faster with its' bodywork on!
Not long until this one is finished now Malc, any ideas what you might be building next?
Well done, a really nice build.

Is it a Model Factory Hiro kit ... Pocher ... Italeri ... what scale? ... Multimedia?
Maybe the Italeri 1:12 Fiat 'Mefistofele'? Or possibly an MFH Bugatti 'Type 35' - now that would be cool!?

Hi Kev, I definitely have the Bugatti ( first Monaco GP winner ) on the wish list. However, it's a bit older than that......and a Pocher.

Hello Malc,
Would it be the same Pocher kit that Roy is currently renovating - the Fiat F2 Racer? That's a great looking car.

I thought it was Malc, that's a very attractive model and I'm sure you'll do a brilliant job with it. A kit that I'd quite fancy a go at myself sometime!
I'll be following with great interest when the diary is up and running.

The filler cap is a nice little detail comprising a cast lid, PE bracket and a 0.5mm pin. An oval cast body piece fixes on top.

Excellent work as always Malc, looking superb and some nice little touches in the details of these MFH kits as you rightly say, and as I'm finding out myself with my own (and first) MFH kit build!
Just lovely.

Thanks for all the encouraging comments.
The body panel painting is almost complete. I've sprayed the inside of each panel with a silver leaf ( Tamiya TS 30 ). I'm pleased i took the time to open the louvers. It makes a big difference to the finished appearance.
