I did mention that in the thread over at SFI but no comment was forthcoming. I may well ask again but it's a bit late now anyway

One advantage of the Ferrari is that a Dynamic sidewinder frame will fit whereas the other two are inline.

Nice work so far Gordon.

Quick splash of red paint to see progress. Not too bad. Just a few details to add and then proper paint.

All the other detail work can be added after painting.

Gordon - as I havent seen anything on Bordo this year - what is the end year for the cars - usually 1972 - and the Spazzaneve was 73?

Not that rules are ever applied that hard at Bordo :)

Really nice car - as you know I have penchant for cars red!!

1972 as usual. The Spazzaneve ran in 72 but never actually raced. I confirmed with Don that it was eligible but, as you say, they do tend to be a bit flexible   I've done the wheelbase the same as the Tyrrell so if anyone objects (I wonder who would!!) I can just swap bodies if it's the quicker chassis.

Doing open wheelers is a whole new thing for me. Quite enjoying it but all the detailing around the rear and the exposed springs and stuff will be a pain.

Are you going to do it this year? It would be good to see you there.

I wasnt going to but Gerald has invited us to his birthday, and as Bordo has been delayed into July, probably will be there.

Fortunately I have some really nice cars already prepared....

I am doing Torino this year and they are also doing F1 cars - so 2 birds with one stone

Excellent.

Possibly see you there then.

A bit more done to the Ferrari.

Ferrari and Tyrrell await the transfers and/or drivers (I hate the word 'decals' - don't know why). Several chassis await bodies. Post seems rather slow now, especially from the UK - maybe politics is involved!

My entire collection of single seaters!
