Hi guys !!
I build my first model in 1988, it was a Tamyia Ferrari Testarossa 1:24.
After that I bought 2 more cars, all from Monogram, a 1932 Benz 540 k and a Packard. Sold them later never build them.
From then on just aircraft , tanks and armour.
With dozens of boxes lying around, I just saw my teen passion at the local model shop, a 1:12 Ferrari 312 T from Niki Lauda. I didn't get it...yet.
Any advice on how to tackle this after being away for so long ?

It's just like riding a bike...no matter how long ago it may have been the rules are still the same.
Grab you supplies, pick out some paint and start the build..and post it here for us to see. Any questions that may come up.....just ask.

Thanks for the future help guys !!
Lately I'm moving so all my kits are in boxes so it will be awhile to get me on my workbench. I'll try to get that Lauda's Ferrari as soon as I'll have some time.
