Got a lot of work done to the BBR 1/43 mercedes CLK GTR GT today. Got the body primed in Ultimate black and then Sprayed in Zero paints Silver. It'll be decaled tomorrow, i also got all the engine bay and cockpit done too. For its scale this is a superb kit, with seatblets and carbon decals included with the kit and some very detailed parts to really make the difference.

The paint pot tells the story....incredible detail for such a small scale

[Rallychef]

What Scott says!, I love the range of cars available in 1/43 but worry about being able to work the detail In such a small scale,
Great work so far

Another great build from ISM's favourite modeller, such great work at such a small scale. For those that have not yet ventured into the nightly hangouts you should pop in, you can chat, talk and watch as a lot of these builds are put together, you could potentially learn loads or maybe even teach a trick or two you know yourself, its all about sharing and growing the hobby, you just need a webcam and mic (built into most laptops)

Decaling done to the 1/43 CLK, great decals went down with no issues. Wheels and tyres done 2K clear next

Great work Paul That is so tiny Im getting eye strain thinking about it

[RossiM1]

These BBR kits are fantastic have built several of their kits over the years and still have some to do 1/43rd is a great scale as you can get loads in the cabinet. That is a stunning job Paul those decals have gone down amazingly well, if you want some more 43rd's to try I will happily send some over if you fancy trying something in F1.
