Ferrari 512 M Sunoco, 1:24, Modelfactory Hiro

Hi,

here my latest finished model. It took me 4 month to complete and due to lots of stress in the office and private live I had no time to make a WIP-thread.
My intention was to build it clean on the outside, lightly wheathered around the engine. Wires and hoses were added according to photos, the driver door was cut open.

Absolutely beautiful, a very nicely built 512 in a very striking livery. Well done!

Very nice build. The engine detailing and weathering work done there looks fantastic.

Great job!.

I like it!

As usual Micha u made a wonderful model.
Try survive to stress from life and work. stress easy kills, remember it.

4 months? Holy smokes, what a beauty. Looks like you put in alot of time into this one. The engine is fantastic.

Holy crap, how can you build something so fantastic in just 4 month? The details are amazing!

Thanks for your comments. 4 months is long, I tried to do it faster, but as I read in your comments, the time was ok ;-)

I love the model and a good job.

Genuinely great work Micha! Those early MFH kits are not easy to tackle and you made it in just 4 months, which is just just incredible... What an efficient modeler you are!

Hi Micha

Well done!
And really like the blue and yellow colouring.

Greetings,
Sascha

Really nice model. This is the Mark Donohue car I presume? I great driver in a great car. You should read "The Unfair Advantage" and Penske's experiences with this car...

Absolutely gorgeous! Always been one of my favorites since I had an AFX slot car when I was a kid. And the sound they make when racing is pure music!

Mike

Excellent! I love the weathering. Looks nice but realistic & run in

Great Job! Perfect balance of clean exterior and used inside.

Nice and interesting project.
You made a very realistic model of it!! :grinno:

And that in only 4 months...wow :eek:

I also have a 512M Sunoco kit. But that's the Fisher one...

Awesome result to one of my all time favourites.
Thanks for sharing this beauty!!!

Really a great job Micha, of the best engineered 512, like was defined by Mr. Forghieri (and without much help by Ferrari's guys..)

One thing: it is only the picture or looks like the car is too light? Lookslike you captured a good match of the restored car, insthead the dark blue of the original one. I remember Mike given me a Sunoco custom mix blue, but it is way darker that this....

Hi Gio,

I don´t have the RAL-number of the blue, so I used what I thought it might work. The original car doesn´t look so bright on every photo
