Stefano Domenicali: ?This is a good emotional moment?
Stefano Domenicali has echoed Fernando Alonso by saying that the Malaysian GP win does nothing to change the fact that the Ferrari F2012 is off the pace of the frontrunning cars in normal conditions. The team boss conceded that the … Continue reading

Fox Body Mustang WIP
Been a WHILE since my last build – here is my 2nd attempt at building a Fox based 1/24th scale model – this one will be a close replica to the 1:1 I sold almost 3 years back. My scratch build skills aren’t the greatest but I’m trying some mods on this project I’ve never tried before so I’m hoping everything comes out the way I’d like!
The most noticeable mod will be the functioning doors and rear hatch. I haven’t seen this done with the Revell ’93 Cobra model yet so I thought I’d give it a go. I had an old ’93 Cobra I built when I was an early teen so I had no issues with using it as a parts donor (doors/hatch). An old SVE Super Stallion kit donated its cowl hood, and the Tamiya Cobra R kit donated wheels and interior. The rear bumper has been removed/pie-cut then reattached in order to give the bumper a more accurate look to the ’93 cobra bumper. I was lucky enough to locate some 1/24th Saleen spoilers, but had to scratch build the 3rd brake light housing and lens. I cut the outer rim off of an old set of wheels and mated them to the rear wheels, which also have oversized tires donated from a Ferrari F-40 kit my nephew destroyed for me (kids love little shiny cars lol) to give the car a staggered wheel setup. I always wanted to swap the interior in my 1:1 for an SN-95 set up (94-98 Mustang) so I thought it would be a good chance to do the swap with this model. I’m still a bit undecided about the drivetrain as of yet…possibly looking for a donor GT500 or Ford GT engine/trans…we’ll see.
I’ll do my best to keep my WIP thread updated as I really enjoy seeing everyone else’s projects go through each phase on their way to completion. Maybe this will inspire some more Fox body builds!!!
Here are some pics to get things started....

Formula One gets ready for another enthralling season
Formula 1 2012 effectively starts now. The first race is not until 18 March, but by the end of this week the world will have seen two of the cars expected to be competing at the front - and one of them will have had its first run on the track.
The McLaren breaks cover first, with a launch at the team’s base in Woking, Surrey, before Ferrari reveal their new challenger in Maranello on Friday.
Ferrari plan, weather permitting, to run the car briefly at their Fiorano test track on Saturday ahead of the start of pre-season testing in Jerez, Spain, on 7 February.
On Sunday, the new Lotus (formerly Renault) will be unveiled on the internet – and F1 designers and engineers across Europe will be losing sleep about what they will see when the new Red Bull breaks cover in the same fashion on Monday.

These new cars will be pored over for hints of the key themes of the new season – and it will not just be to do with the cars.
At McLaren on Wednesday, the issue of Lewis Hamilton’s mindset will inevitably be raised after his wildly up-and-down season last year – indeed team principal Martin Whitmarsh has already delivered a robust, if familiar-sounding, defence of his driver in an interview last week.
Hamilton has kept a low profile over the winter, training in the US, and whether he can find the mental equilibrium to consistently access his very best form is already one of the talking points of 2012.
At Red Bull, Mark Webber says he has “had a good winter, recharging my batteries, and now I can’t wait to get going again”.
But can the Australian rediscover the form he showed in his title bid in 2010 and challenge team-mate and world champion Sebastian Vettel more strongly than he did last year?
Just as importantly, will Webber stay on at the team for 2013, or will he make way for either Daniel Ricciardo and Jean-Eric Vergne, the Red Bull juniors going head-to-head at Toro Rosso, to prove they deserve a chance in the senior team?
Over at Mercedes, the pressure is on to start winning after two lacklustre seasons, while another question is whether Michael Schumacher will decide he wants to stay on beyond the end of his contract into 2013 - and will the team want him to?
Schumacher is so clearly a shadow of his former greatness and has only just begun to get on terms with team-mate Nico Rosberg, and even then only in races.
Already ex-F1 driver Gerhard Berger has said he cannot see his former rival continuing.
"I do not think he will extend his contract,” the Austrian told Auto Motor und Sport.
“He will be tired. I have to admit he drove better in 2011 than in 2010, especially in the second half of the season, and I can imagine he can improve even on that but still he has no chance against Rosberg.
“Schumacher will have to admit that, with an age over 40, it’s impossible to beat a young driver on the level of Rosberg.”
Ferrari, too, find themselves with serious questions hanging over the future of one driver – Felipe Massa – and a need to raise their game after a single win in 2011.
A lot hangs on the new car – and the early evidence is they have lived up to their promise to push the boat out in terms of aggressive design.
The veteran Italian technical journalist Giorgio Piola has produced one of his famous drawings based on leaked details of the new Ferrari.

“If the pictures are accurate,” BBC F1’s technical analyst Gary Anderson says, “Ferrari seem to have gone a different route by shortening the sidepods and having the crash structure (beside the driver) separate and in front of the sidepod.
“They’re trying to remove the blockage the sidepods create to the airflow coming off the front of the car.
“It’s a total concept thing – in that it is integral to the whole car design. So if it works, they’ve got one up on everyone else.”
It’s clear already, in fact, that the look of the new cars will attract even more attention than usual – and that’s because, as Anderson puts it, “the first thing that will stand out will be the ugly noses”.
These are the result of new rules that dictate lower noses to improve safety, but keep the height of the front bulkhead – the front of the chassis – the same.
A glimpse of these has already been seen on the new Caterham (formerly Lotus) – which features a kind of platypus look, with a long rectangular nose, ahead of an ugly lump on the chassis around the area of the front suspension.
The other major talking point will be how teams deal with the banning of last year’s must-have technology, exhaust-blown diffusers, where downforce was increased by blowing the exhausts along the rear floor of the car even when the driver was not pressing the accelerator.
Governing body the FIA has attempted to end this by stipulating that the exhausts must exit on top of the rear bodywork, well in front of the rear wheels, as well as heavily restricting ‘exotic’ engine maps.
But already there is talk of teams directing exhausts at the rear wing – either upper or lower – to try to increase downforce there.
“The exhaust acts like a compressor,” says Anderson. “It moves the air quite effectively, increasing the air speed, and that gives more downforce. The return will be small, but that’s always the case because the regs are so tight.”
This being F1, there is plenty to talk about – and that’s without touching on the politics, which will be intense as teams, the FIA and commercial boss Bernie Ecclestone negotiate a new Concorde Agreement, the contract that ties them all to F1 and which expires this year.
As ever there is a lot going on – and, as always, you can bet something else will emerge to surprise everyone, too.

1956 Chevy Bel Air Sport Coupe WIP
Starting a new build and I've been wanting to build a 56 hardtop for awhile. I have a 56 Nomad in dusk plum and Ivory and a 56 Delray that I did as a street machine. Now I need a Hardtop to add to my collection. So I picked up this Monogram kit over the holidays on sale somewhere. It's not a great kit but I think I can make it look respectable. I have some leftover and complete 56 Nomad PE that includes the longer hood and trunk Vs and badges for both, Bel Air script and badges for the rear fenders, and door handles and window cranks. I also have a bottle of Classic Copper metallic that is a little darker than Sierra Gold but close enough for me. I'm going to do a two-tone using Krylon Satin Almond for Adobe Beige to go with the copper. Looks like I have everything I need to get started! Thanks for looking!

Kubica comeback far from certain
Much will be made this season of the incredible strength in depth of the Formula 1 field in 2012, with six world champions all taking part, each one of them with a justifiable claim to being an all-time great.
But when the season kicks off in Melbourne on 18 March, there will be a man sitting at home in Europe who could make that line-up even stronger.
Robert Kubica might well have been starting this year's Australian Grand Prix grid in a Ferrari had he not suffered the horrendous rallying accident that prevented him racing for Renault in 2011.
As it is, he is in a no-man's land, not knowing whether he will ever be able to drive an F1 car in anger again.
This week, reports in Italy have emerged that he is planning to get back behind the wheel of an F1 car - almost certainly a Ferrari - in June. The problem is, that is more a hope than a plan, as no one knows whether the Pole will be fit to drive by then.
Kubica is doing four or five hours' worth of physical training a day, despite still recovering from a broken leg sustained earlier this month in an incident that re-opened one of the fractures he sustained in his rally crash.
But the leg is not a major problem - the 27-year-old is not in plaster, there is only a light support around the limb, and he can drive a road car despite it. Before the re-break, he had already started doing some jogging, and the expectation is that the injury will no longer trouble him within a week or so.
Kubica has been linked with a return to F1 with Ferrari. Photo: Getty
The issue remains the movement in his right hand, which was partially severed in the rally crash on 6 February last year.
His injuries that day were truly horrific - he suffered partial amputation of his right forearm and numerous fractures to his right elbow, shoulder and leg, as well as losing a lot of blood. Had doctors not worked so quickly, he could have died.
Once his condition was stabilised, it became clear that the biggest problem was going to be the hand.
Both main nerves to the hand were severed, and had to be repaired by surgeons, and movement remains restricted. Specifically, he is lacking strength in the hand, and his ability to rotate his wrist is limited - in other words, he does not yet have the two physical attributes he needs to steer an F1 car.
According to his doctors, it is a matter of when, not if, the nerves rebuild themselves and he recovers full use of the hand, but no one knows when that will be.
Kubica is out of contract and all his links with his former team have evaporated. So when/if he is fit to drive an F1 car, it is likely to be a Ferrari.
The Italian team had an option on him for the 2011 season, which they did not take up, but sources say they remain interested and have discussed the issue internally.
It is a complicated matter, though. If Kubica tells them he feels ready to drive an F1 car, Ferrari have to consider how a test for him would look to Felipe Massa, whose contract runs out at the end of the year and who already knows he is under pressure to raise his game compared to team-mate Fernando Alonso in 2012 if he is stay on.
Equally, it is not as if they do not have other options.
Red Bull's Mark Webber, in whom they were interested for 2012 before deciding to stick with Massa, remains on Ferrari's radar.
And Lewis Hamilton is out of contract with McLaren at the end of this season, even if the prospects must be considered distant of the Englishman renewing what was a combustible combination with Alonso at McLaren in 2007.
As far as Kubica is concerned, all this remains moot until he can prove a) that he is physically recovered; and b) that he has not lost any driving ability.
He has told those close to him that unless he can recover 100% of his skill, he will quit motorsport. He will not know that until he drives an F1 simulator and then a car for the first time.
He hopes that will be in June - but a hope is all it is. It could just as easily be August, or any other month you pluck out of the sky. He is not in a hurry, although the longer it goes on, the less the likelihood will be of that Ferrari seat in 2013 remaining open.
Right now, then, there is no reason to say he will be back, but at the same time there is no reason to say he won't.
In many ways, it would feel like a miracle if Kubica did make it back to F1. But what a story it would be if he does.

Three projects I've been workin' on. The Hot Wheels was stripped and painted, plus I added stick-on numbers. The Revell model was issued in 1973. OOB except for plug wires. The decals went on OK, but they didn't like decal set. - only split apart twice. Test fitting went fine but final assembly was - well I won't go there! The 1:1 is a WIP.

Reading between the lines in a phoney war
The annual Formula 1 phoney war was in full swing at the second pre-season test at Barcelona's Circuit de Catalunya this week.
Fernando Alonso was talking down Ferrari's form, Lewis Hamilton was talking up McLaren's - as, intriguingly, was Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel. And the unlikely combination of Kamui Kobayashi and Sauber set the fastest time of the week.
As ever, the headline lap times were a poor guide to the order of the grid that can be expected in Melbourne at the first race in just three weeks' time.
But look behind the fastest laps, and there is usually a way of gleaning at least some sense of form ahead of the season.
Fernando Alonso's Ferrari could yet to turn out to be a dark horse. Photo: Getty
I'll preface what follows with a major caveat - this has been one of the most difficult tests to read for some time. But here goes.
Red Bull, as ever, looked especially strong. Vettel was fastest of all on the first day of the test, and throughout the four days he and team-mate Mark Webber set consistently formidable-looking times.
On Wednesday afternoon, Vettel and Hamilton set out to do race-distance runs at more or less the same time. Both did 66 laps - the length of the Spanish Grand Prix, which will be held at the track in May.
Vettel did five pit stops; Hamilton four. Discount laps on which they went in and out of the pits and they both managed 55 flying laps. Vettel completed his more than two minutes faster than Hamilton.
If that was repeated in a race, Hamilton would be lapped by the end.
And the pattern was repeated on Thursday with Mark Webber and Jenson Button, although the margin was reduced to about half a minute.
Of course, this is very far from an exact scientific comparison.
They didn't use the same tyres as each other - although they don't necessarily have to in the race either.
We don't know what they were doing with fuel loads - although it would be counter-intuitive to start putting fuel in at pit stops because it would provide the team with data that was never going to be relevant to competition.
And it's an especially confusing situation because only the day before Vettel was saying how impressed he had been with the McLaren's pace on the longer runs.
But there was more - none of it especially happy ready for those hoping for a close season.
On the Wednesday, Vettel's fastest time of all was nearly a second faster than Hamilton's on the same type of tyres. Although both were set on very short runs - suggesting a qualifying-type simulation - that's still potentially meaningless as there is no way of knowing the level of fuel on board at the time.
Nevertheless, if you then look at the lap times both were doing at the start of their race-distance runs, they were about the same margin slower than each driver's fastest laps as you would expect given a full race fuel load.
That suggests that the headline lap times of those two drivers could be a reasonably accurate indicator of form - again worrying for McLaren.
Of course, this is only testing, and teams have updates to put on their cars before the first race - as Button pointed out. And everyone expects McLaren to be a close to challenger at the front come Melbourne. Nevertheless, few are under any illusions about Red Bull's strength.
"You're old enough, Andrew," one senior insider said to me during the test, "to know that Red Bull look very strong. McLaren and Ferrari are a bit behind. Force India look like they have a quick car, too."
He might have added that the new Mercedes looks quite decent as well.
But few teams are as difficult to understand right now as Ferrari - who have not done any race simulations to compare with their main rivals.
The messages coming out of the team have all seemed pretty negative.
There has been a lot of attention put on technical director Pat Fry's remark at the first test in Jerez that Ferrari were "not happy" with their understanding of the car.
Start raking through the time sheets, though, and you begin wonder what's behind all the negativity.
On headline lap times, Alonso was less than 0.3secs behind Vettel. And on both his days he started 10-lap runs with a lap in the region of one minute 24.1 seconds.
If you take 10 laps' worth of fuel off that time, you are left with a lap in the low 1:23sec bracket - again, not far off what Vettel managed. And you can bet the Ferrari was running with more than just 10 laps of fuel anyway; most top teams routinely test with 60-80kg of fuel on board.
In other words, the Ferrari actually looks reasonably fast, and an insider did admit: "The car is not as bad as a lot of people think."
If - and it's a big if - Ferrari can start to extract that potential before the first race of the season, Red Bull might just have a serious fight on their hands. And that's without even considering what McLaren might be able to achieve.

1979 Camaro Z/28 - Replicating My Old 1:1 Car - Update Pics
I thought I would try something different here this time and try replicating my black 1979 Camaro Z/28 I bought brand new back in January of 1979. It's funny how I never gave this car I once owned much thought until recently and it seems now I can't get my mind off of it. I sure wished I had it today...how many of us have said that before? It was my first "brand new car" and I sure had fun with it until kids came along and then I started thinking conservatively and a muscle car did not seem practical any longer so I sold it and bought a full sized Chevy Caprice. Anyway, if I want to own a car like this today it will have to be a model and that is why I decided to build this Revell version. Unfortunately my car did not have the "T" top as this model does but this kit does not include the optional aluminum wheels which my car had so I will have to go with the standard "body coloured" steel wheels but this will be as close as I can get to it. I have a set of Red/Orange decals coming from Keith Marks but I'm going to get started on the kit anyway and hope the timing works out with the decals arriving so I don't have an interuption in the "wip". When you ordered a carmine (red) interior General Motors automatically included the trim decals in Red/Orange to match the interior. Thanks for following this topic.
My 1:1 car
The model. Exterior will be painted Testors "Gloss Black" enamel and the interior painted in Testors "Flat Red".
Engine will be painted in the correct factory colour "General Motors Blue".
More to come......................

POST APOCALYPSE Vehicle Collection
Hello All fellow Model Makers,
I Have been posting the builds of some of these Models in the "HOT RODS & STREET MACHINES FORUM"
However they may be more suited to this Forum considering what I have seen so far.
you guys are building some really nice models !
so I thought you might like to see some of these. they area mix of 1/24 &1/25 AMT & REVELL kits
and one or two full scratch builds like the BUGGY,
it all started when I bought the Aoshima Kit of the Mad Max Interceptor,
I decided the model needed some companions on the shelf !
69 ford gran Torino
39 chevy minus the rear end !
70 challenger,
70 Plymouth Road runner, a lot of plastic went into the roll cage and bumpers on this model !
had this Model 49 Merc sitting in a box with a lot of the parts missing for over ten years !
"thats why the engine has a Cage, I lost the Bonnet !"
this is a Revell 41 Willys Coupe, I love the Chevy Truck from JEEPERS CREEPERS and so I wanted to try something simalar with the coupe,
and Finaly this one is still a work in progress, its a 1/24 Miasto "Metal" 67 mustang
first some rough designs of what it might look like and then the build as it stands so far,
Well thats my Collection so far, however I intend to build a lot more !
once the Mustang is finished, I'm going to build my biggest yet, An armoured Big Rig.
well I hope you like the models and they are up to your standard.
I will keep posting more builds on this forum from now on.
and I look forward to seeing other people's great build's
take care and all the best,
Barry.
