The "Iceman's" rise to WDC part 1 of 2

2007's F1 finale was unbelievable. but for those who don't know what happened after the Japanese GP, Kimi was 17 points behind Lewis Hamilton and 5 behind Alonso with only 2 races to go.

Then came the China GP. the Ferrari gang had something to prove to the Mclarens and after Lewis dropped out of the GP on lap 31, Kimi took the checkers and gave Ferrari its 200th GP victory (only fitting to win the 200th on the track that was Michaels Final win). but now heading to Brazil Kimi still was 7 points behind and 3rd in points. stay tuned


This is a Tameo kit BTW

alot of work it to be done, there are acouple of dips that have to be filled and sanded, but overall its looking like Tameo has made one outstanding kit.

I opened up the vents as it looks 1000 times better when they are opened up.

also sorry for the pictures, very hard to get clear pics of metal. light only made them worse

enjoy and encourage any comments :)

Last season was one of the absolute best in F1 both on and off track. That finishing race in Brazil was very fitting to the kind of season it was.
The model looks real nice so far. Tameo....that's 1/43 scale, right?

EDIT: Duh! Just looked at the last photo. Definetly 1/43

update

I painted the car (or jet fighter) with Metallic red and just looks stunning

Unfortunently, while carefully putting it down, the model fell and clipped the right side of the, the only real damage was the paint smudged, so I quickly did a quick fix, will wait for it to cure, carefully sand out and compound out any scratchs and repaint (live and learn :banghead: ) after lookin at the renaissance CF I have, I don't know whether to use those or SMS 1/43.

Cooling vents well opened! Bravo.
But paint is wrong.It isn't metallic red like Suggested by Tameo!! They did a colossal Mistake!!
U have to use A silver fine Grade like Base and Ts 74 (Clear red ) Over!
Look at my WIP about F2007 Monaco Gp.U'll Se the difference.
So, Congratulations for ur Advanced Skill and the progress that u have.
Ciao
