Did some more work on the Ferrari 156 today, just detail work. I have painted the driver figure which represents Wolfgang Von Trips, the car represents his drive in the 1961 Netherlands GP which was the first win for Von Trips and the first win for the 156. Looking a photos there appears to be a bit of colour discrepancy with his overalls colour but there seem to be more showing them white than light blue so I have left the driver figure white. Next time I print some decals I will need to do the badge for his helmet. The driver figure is now glued to the body along with the windscreen, the carb cover, I was going to paint these with a thin coat of clear smoke but have left the transparent, and I have also added the vents behind the carb covers. I haven't added the exhausts yet as these need to sit under the rear axle and while it should be fairly easy to slide the chassis out I will wait until the car has been tested and i don't need to remove the chassis for any reason.
Both the Ferrari and Lotus 25 will have a test run at my club track tomorrow, both are eligible for our 61-85 F1 class but with it's narrow track I don't think the Ferrari will be very competitive. The Lotus being unfinished won't be eligible to race but at least I see how well it goes.
