Hi, I want to share with you my lastest project 1/8. I started it in May 2018, so I have to post a lot of work in progress. I hope you’ll enjoy to watch it. I post in the next day several pics, so if I not response quickly…I’ll made it later. So let’s start After having checked and cut some choices in the models that I'm doing (Mustang and Yamaha M1 off) I stopped to make local mind on my projects. The Golf project is almost on par, except that in order to go forward now I am forced to wait all the elements of the bodywork to do tests, paint stripping and then repaint: that is, I think in the early 2019 I have several collections (all in 1/8) active during the accumulation phase: - 80% Delta - Countach LP500 at 60% - Ferrari 312 T4 at 57% - Porsche RS 2.7 at 30% I started on Delta project for 2 reasons: 1) it is the most advanced model of accumulation and 2) I want a "historical" subject. At the beginning I wanted to start with the 312, but the covered wheels and the WRC win. There will be a lot of work to do taking cares of various factors: my small skills and the poor detail proposed on this model edited by Hachette. In the next almost immediate post, I begin to post something about what I started doing. As a premise I can say that for this scale there is nothing transkit or improvement . Just only 2 kits produced by 2 guys known on the FB group dedicated to the construction of this model.  Courtesy of Hachette Italia    Collection active: Lotus 97T, Audi Quattro A2, Vw Maggiolino '60
Work in progress: Porsche 911 RS Turbo
Completed model: Delta WRC Martini, Mclaren MP4/4, Golf GTI 1/8 Tuned

Looking around and looking at the various photos I started to put my hands on the bigger and workable pieces. The lower floor seems like a BBurago, not that I will have much chance to make it more realistic, but at least I try to give it some small I started by mounting the rear fenders and I plastered them. In the meantime I saved a picture showing the floor from below and the various welds of the panels; if truthful I would add the weld lines and then obviously repaint everything. For the internal floor, apart from starting it and repaint it, I want to try the first exercise with a plasticard to see if there are any ribs that are missing or that have been omitted. It will be and hard work onthis rally icon.         Collection active: Lotus 97T, Audi Quattro A2, Vw Maggiolino '60

Hi,
I saw your perfect work on this Project. Are you located in Italy?? Because I/we have Problems to get such models from Italy to the rest of Europe e.g. Germany.
could you please give us an idea or a hint, where we can order such Projects to get them delivered outside of Italy.
In France for e.g. there is an Independent webside. Do you have something similar in Italy??
Regards
Sandro
