cruz Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 (edited) Definitely a kit catered to the advanced modeler. This thing is simply finicky and a little tedious specially when the time comes to adding all those body details. Photo Etch items are from AK Models P/E Detail Set, it truly puts it over the top. I should’ve dulled those rims a bit but this was more of a test run to have a feel for the kit. I have two more of these in my stash and they will certainly be built more like the 1/1. Paint is Splash Paints Rosso Corsa with a Dupli-Color 1K Clear and yes, it was shot straight out of the can, something I never like doing but again, this was more of a test run. I did wet sand, polished and waxed. Wheels and tires are not from this kit, they are actually from Fujimi’s tire and wheel set. I thought the ones in the kit were horrible. Hope you guys like it…..

Joe Nunes Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Came back to look at this model again. What a gorgeous and believable execution on this 250GTO. The paint looks so nice and the shine is very appealing. Can you please share with us how you got the paint to look so realistic?

Joe Thank you my friend, it’s nothing special, just the use of a Micro Mesh Polishing System and a light hand. YouTube is full of videos on the subject. I would share my own video but it is done in Spanish…. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
