Here is my Ferrari F92A. It;s got quite a few flaws, not really proud of it, but I'm glad to put it on the 'Ferrari' shelf and move on. It's my 7th 1/20 F1 Ferrari and the most modern F1 car I have built (1992). In real life, it was a backmarker, and Ivan Capelli had a terrible time driving it, Jean Alesi did a little better. It is interesting as Ferrari tried a 'false floor' in the car, so I like it in my collection. You can see it in the photos.
As far as the kit goes, the detail is a little soft, the exhausts not much good, the fit less than average and the amount of cleanup extensive.
I cut the front suspension in half, and put in mounting points so I could add it after the thing was painted. nonetheless, I eventually broke it four or five times, and it's just too fragile. It's a serious limitiation on this model. I liked the trick of cutting the suspension, it's the big learning from this model for me. The harness is a Tamiya ftermarket one, it comes up OK after a coat of flat varnish. I lost the dashboard, so the one in it is from the spares box, don't look too closely. At least it's a Ferrari one from the same era :)
I've included one photo of the build, to show some of the clean up required. It doesn't show all the sanding that didn't need filler though.
At least it's done, in the collection, and after the therepeutic paragraphs above, I don't mind it at all :)
Have a good day everyone, and get some modeling done. I'm into my Tyrrell 020 now which is a whole new story.
Cheers
Tony
