Thank you Greg. I understand about mfh kits. My friend and great model builder , Phil says it’s the most expensive scratch built kit ever. He is a national IPMS winner and great builder. He had built one and he said that’s it. I’ve had enough. I will build them but only the cars I really dreamed of in my childhood. I have built a few now so I understand the build. The instructions are like just a guide, and you have to really investigate the instructions. They are a really difficult build. When I built my 427 mfh cobra, it took a year to build it. I do build a 1/25 or 1/24 in between mfh kits just to get my wits back.

Color sanding the body. 2000 grit wet and dry. Getting rid of the clear buildup on the door and trunk area. Rubbing the body out with a very fine compound from auto manic. First rub out. I will rub several more times to try to get a perfect as possible finish.

Foiled . This part is a part of modeling I really have to be careful. One slip of the knife………

Fantastic. The Lusso deserves a subtle color and that is a great choice. My Italeri 275 Spyder in Nocciola...

Beautiful collection of Ferrari’s

[Brudda]

Well having life problems, garage door springs breaking, snowplow breaking, and a few other life problems I found time to polish the bumpers on the lusso. They are white metal the shape of bumpers and you have to sand , sand, sand, and polish them to a chrome finish. Holding them is the hard part. So far they look the part. The little ones under the headlights are in a bag , polished.

Coming along very nicely Bruce ?

I just now took a look through the entire thread.  I admire your perseverance on getting all of the details right. Can’t wait to see her done.

[Pierre Rivard]

Lovely color and very impressive paint finish. A wonderful build to follow.

Here is the tool I used to hold the parts for polish. 

[89AKurt]

Very nice color choice.  I've seen that tool at MicroMark, is it worth it?
