WIP: MFH 1/24 Ferrari 335S 1957 LeMans

No build photos yet, but I've acquired all the paint I need (a combination of Tamiya LP and Mr Color), inventoried the parts, and made Excel spreadsheets of the part no./color code/color/part description, then sorted the data by color code. My next step is to put all like colors in bins, and start working on clean-up, which actually doesn't look too bad (except for the wheels, below).

For the parts that only require polishing (intake trumpets, grill surround, knock-offs, dash, etc.) I put them in my (Eastwood) vibratory tumbler with ground walnut shells and a little bit of powdered rouge, and they came out really nice.

This is my first MFH kit. The most aggravating thing about the kit (so far) is the "Laser Lithography" wire wheels. Each one is attached to a base with a few dozen little sticks between the back of the wheel and the base, which will take hours of clean-up per wheel.

Cheers,
Greg
