i know this is an old thread but i searched R8 on the forum. I was wondering how you got the black lines in the creases of the doors and panels. looks too clean and precise for a wash or even brushwork. is it some kind of pen?

Hi Sam! i deepened the panel lines using an scriber, then black wash, and polished the excess.

That is a nice build. I like the color.

I just saw one of these on the road a while back. We were next to each other in heavy traffic. It's a beautiful car in person. The one I saw was silver. That same day I saw this kit in Hobby Lobby. I got something else that day, but still need to pick this one up.

Was the kit a pretty smooth build?

The kit has a problem when you put together the body and the chasis. Ia had to trim the back wheel arches that are attached to the chasis in order to achieve a nice fit.

Very nice, is it all box stock or did you use and after market detail sets?

Hi Fred,

The extras in this model are:

-scratch bulit the disc brakes (didn't like the kit's discs)

-scratch front lights (they where solid, so i removed and replaced with transparent sprue, sanded and polished)

-Flocking

-Carbon fiber decals for the side panels.

I thinj thats all; no photoetched set used. Thanks for your comment Fred, and everybody else!!!
