I’ve given up on my Italeri Bugatti for now, finding it too frustrating.
So, on with the next build. The Tamiya Gordon Murray Automotive T.50 in 1/24 scale. I bought two of these, the plan being to a) have a spare in case they are no longer available, and b) build one OOB and detail the second with carbon fibre decals and after-market detail if available.

I haven’t decided what colour it will be. I’ll pop into my local hobby shop today and see what nice modern colours they have.

So far I’ve sprayed the chassis and applied gold heat-proof coating to the firewall. As gold is so expensive, I’ve used foil from a chocolate bar. Yum.

I love Gordon Murray’s designs, Kevin @injidup, looking forward to this.

Very nice choice and a great start, Kevin @injidup
I do hope you still find energy to continue the Bugatti in the near future.

I know what you mean, Kevin @injidup, neat work on the Cosworth.

More work on the interior and engine today. Messed up the stripe on the seat, though, and only noticed after I’d sprayed matt clear, so it’s set now.

Couldn’t help trying the final colour on a bit of the bodywork. Tamiya TS-89 mica blue, designed for the Red Bull RB6 F1 car, which has been in the stash for some years now! The colour looks great in the winter sun.

The bodywork is interesting on this car. It’s not one piece like most models, but is various panels fixed to a carbon-fibre skeleton. Lots of panels to paint!

Very nice progress, Kevin @injidup
The Mica Blue looks really cool.

The Mica blue looks excellent, my friend @injidup!

Looking good, Kevin @injidup, it’s currently hot here in the northern hemisphere.
