I am glad that I did not see this video before the start of this Miura build! And there are 10 more episodes to follow the complete build. I mean, this guy is unbelievable: what a talent & patience. This would have totally wrecked my "relaxing" build   !

Paul, probably not, but I was forced to order some PE stuff which I managed to find here in Finland (last batch of Studio 27 Miura kit). I mean, those plastic parts in the Hasegawa kit look plain awful  ! |

First off i would probably have lost most of the ends of my finger tips.........secondly,those doors would have never have come off like that in a million years and lastly if that scriber would have been in my hands the body would look like a baby baboon had been playing noughts and crosses on it!! |

So much for a relaxing build  ! Adding those nice PE details when one has already painted the final colour might not be a good idea... But I will give it a try and see what happens. It started with the removal of material from the engine ventilation openings & front grille, which went pretty well, but for sure I will need to repair the paint (locally I hope!). Best would be of course to remove the body paint and start all over, but since this is a model for practising, I won't bother.

Aargh  ! This is what happens when you cut the corners: the shit hit the fan ! Well, it was actually not a big surprise, never a good idea to glue something on the final paint. Luckily, this is not a show model and I had the "repair kit" at home ...

I am sure that you are more than capable of fixing that Kari  . Just don't do it after too much of that repair liquid |

After the last disaster, I needed a break from Miura. But since we have had a really cold weather here in Finland (down to -20 degC) and my paint area is in the old storage room where there has been down to +14 degC, I decided that I will wait for the warmer weather to finish body paint for GT40 (and also Miura). So, I took some relaxing PE work instead: the grilles on the bonnet. Otherwise it went well, but for some reason I forgot to follow the instructions and I glued the "ribs" in wrong order. The grille is not rectangular but slightly conical, so one has to build it in certain order which I missed and had to build it again. Before that I needed to measure the individual ribs since the next rib should be around 0,05 mm shorter than the previous one  . Anyhow, you can see what a difference these PE parts make in comparison with the original plastic ones (25 ribs instead of 11)!  |
