Very nice!

As always, I wish there would be more plastic kits of those nice 60s F1 cars.

Yes Marco. Especially those from Grand Prix Legends.
But you already have them from MFH.
I can't....

Thank you very much.
All paints are automotive. Clear coat is 2 parts urethane.
Rivets are SMS.

What a nice pair of 25's you have build!
I also did an all green version a few years ago.
It's nice to see both versions side by side.

Those look great! Love the idea of the two side by side. I built one up myself a few years ago to not great affect, this makes me want to recreate what you've done.

I am starting the same build.
I could only hope to achieve a quarter of the paint quality.
Can you talk about your priming/painting/finishing technique?
