Matt Bacon Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 This is the excellent Hasegawa 1/24 kit, which has to be one of the best engineered and best fitting kits I've ever built... Highly recommended! bestest, M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

droogie Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Just gorgeous! How did you do the piping on the seats? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Bacon Posted March 27, 2010 Author Share Posted March 27, 2010 Thanks, Guys... your encouragement is much appreciated! The wheels on the GTO are etched metal, provided in the kit. It's the Gunze kit, re-boxed by Airfix in the early 90s as "Hi-Tech", and it was a gift (along with the 1/24 Jag XK-E from the same stable) from someone who was never going to build them, so in value for money terms, it was priceless! The E-Type has a full white metal engine and "origami" etched brass spaceframe, so it's more of a challenge... More pictures, like this: are here: http://gallery.me.com/cmatthewbacon#100238&view=grid&bgcolor=black&sel=2 The seats are just Citadel (Games Workshop) Skull White paint, hand painted with a fine brush, apart from the outside edge, which was wide enough to hold some Tamiya 6mm masking tape to get a sharp edge. I wouldn't like to build ONLY Ferraris, but if someone told me I could only build models of one make of car for the rest of my life, Modena would be my spiritual home, just as if I could build only one type of aircraft, it would be a Spitfire... bestest, M.
