Model Factory Hiro 1/20th scale Ferrari 801

Hi all this is the first kit based car model I've managed to finish in about well longer than I care to remember!

I decided to have a break from the scratchbuilding after just finishing my big Trumpy King tiger and give this kit a go. The actual build went together very well but the body panels were horrendous to fit! I've been doing alot of fiddling with the body and since given up , it still doen't fit as nicely as I'd like it to but Im now satisfied as the parts will be displayed next to the model. I had alot of fun all the same building it

What a lovely race car , fantastic work Sean , for such an expensive kit you expect it to go together better but you`ve done a great job mate , being factory hiro I take most the bodywork is resin with the rest being mostly white metal ? I would love to have a go at a hiro build but well out of my price range at the moment.

Love it

HI Richy Yeap they are expensive and for the money they should fit together ! The body on the 801 is resin but the Lancia D50 also a hiro Model is all white metal. Every thing on these models is either white metal and PE with small amounts of resin used, also very weighty when finished!

Cheers

all for you kind words
