F310 BBR 1/20

Post by Manu »

Hi guys ! Sometimes I pop up, but as the quarantine goes, well i got time to finish some kits in my stash.

Here's the Ferrari F310 from BBR , 1/20 scale. Given by my dear friend JS1115.

Always like this formula 1 coupled with a F-15. Best of both world.

The kit is really precise, more than the ST27 one.
Nice aluminium rims, carbon decals, metal rods etc. Everyhting to build a nice kit. Only drawback, the resin is very rigid and breakable, and the decal a bit stiff. Not yet at LMM level but still.
Build is quite easy, except for the assembly of the upper and lower that requires a lot of dry fitting, sanding etc.
Rims, despite being gold originally, have received a layer od Alclad gold, to enhance the color.
The red was tricky. Tameo and BBR say TS49 bit on a lot of pics, the car didn't look that bright but not as dull as TS8 to me. So i went pink primer, ts49 and a layer of TS8 to deeepen the color a bit. Looked good to me.
Carbon is black paint with a coat of dark gun metal through an Eduard Mesh.Saves money instead of cutting decals ;)
The barge boards fixations is quite precise, way more than the "wherever you wanna glue them" from ST27 ;)

A porsche GT1 is done, and I'm finishing a Gold line XJR-14 right now.
See you soon !

Beautiful job, I've always considered this car a bit ugly but interesting - hence I have this kit also :wink:

Sweet! Very nice build!
I have the same kit sitting in a box, started years ago :-)
Not Barnard's or Ferrari's finest but I like that car's shape very much too.
Unlike you I also like BBR's resin. Good colour to see the surfaces and I like the density.
Looking forward to the GT1 and that Gold Line XJR-14. That's also in a box here :-)

Very nice job!
I was reminded on Facebook the other day that Schumacher had won his first race for Ferrari in this car at a very wet Spanish GP. Since I also have this BBR kit and the BBR rain tires from the 1997 F310B, I was thinking about replicating Michael’s 1996 Spanish GP winner. My question is this: are the 1997 rain tires close enough to represent the 1996 style rain tires?
Stay safe everyone.
