On the 7th of September 1975 Nikki Lauda would drive into the record books with a well driven 3rd place at the Italian Grand Prix in Monza. The race was won by Team mate Carlos Reutemann but all eyes were on the number 12 of Nikki Lauda because finishing 3rd was enough to secure the Drivers Championship for 1975. All of Italy rejoiced at Ferrari's first driving title since John Surtees in 1964. I had this Tamiya 1/12 scale model in my to do pile for quite some time and considering that 2007 was Ferrari’s 60th anniversary year there could be no better time to start work.
 

The first thing I always do before starting a super detailed build is read through the instructions over and over to work out where I need to add detail. I highlight the machined, Photo-etched or just extra scratch built details in a fluorescent marker for easier reference when I reach that stage of the build. You can imagine that these instructions were quite colourful when I finished. Another target I set myself during my work is to try to blend the metal and plastic parts. I do this by painting some of the parts I turn and heavy use of the Alclad range of paints on the plastic parts. Ideally I don’t want the finished model to look like a plastic kit with metal parts added to it.
