New Carrera 1/32 Ferrari 365 P2 Sneak Peek

[Modlerbob]

Having finally put my Ferrari on the track I must say I am a bit disappointed speed wise. It is about a full second a lap slower than my previous Carrera purchase of the Porsche 917. I was hoping they would run about equally well.

Hey Dave, are there going to be more liveries? I'll have the Piper car, but there are so many red cars I don't want to miss out on one I like better. NART cars are so popular, I'm sure this one will get gone pretty quick.

Started prep for my son to go digital magnet race testing with initial prep work. I don't have my track up which is small (3.5-4 second lap times). We've won 3 seasons in a row with the Carrera 904, Carrera 917 and Carrera 917 v2.0 at the local hobby store, so we will see. And the car really is green it does not photograph well at all this was my 7th try.

Looks good! Good luck at the track!

Thanks Allan!!! I couldn't sleep I'm so excited as it appears
lower than the 904 and 917 and has width similar to the 917 and more downforce without additional magnets.

I am sorry for the double post, Czar

Well the 917 has nearly three times the tire contact, so it does make a faster line.

I am all for scale or lower speeds. But cannot see that ever happening. That is a noble idea, but you could never satisfy everyone.

The secret bonus is the low MSRP. Adding a milder motor to have it perform like I want is easier on my wallet.

It's just a very thin wash of flat black acrylic paint applied with a thin brush and then the excess is wiped off with a soft rag.

When using acrylic paint for this I would suggest a a drop of dish detergent in with the thinned paint. The detergent lowers the surface tension of the water and allows it to flow very evenly. Being an armor modeler everything i have built gets washes to create a more realistic look. Very simple to do with good results.
