She turned out great, Michael! Thanks for the detailed write up. I have quite a few of Hasegawa’s F3000 kits including this one. It is nice to see one built up and read about someone else’s experience with the kit.

Hang on, Greg, let me go pop some popcorn, because I’m going to be following this one!

Absolutely gorgeous!

That Olds is drop dead gorgeous!

So elegant! A beautiful model of a beautiful car!

What a pleasure it has been to follow along on this build. The final result is sublime! Congratulations!

That is too cool!

Gorgeous!!

Wow!, what a beautiful color! That outside picture is the money shot for me. Very nice, Jim!

Ol’ DW! Good looking Monte Carlo, Kevin!

I have all of the external (body) PE grills, etc. prepped and painted. There are 15 pieces with approximately 40 attachment points that needed to be filed down. Something that I thought was kind of neat when I saw it. This is a picture of the leftover Tamiya tape that I used to hold the PE pieces in place while I airbrushed them. I have also started on some interior details. I painted the roll cage semi-gloss black, masked off the padding and then shot a metal color. The effect is subtle, but your eye will catch it. I will work on the racing harness next. Thanks for checking in!

Doggone, Jim, that is one sweet ride!

I’m not sure that I can add anything to what has already been said. She is just one great looking model! Well done!

Great color choices on the exterior and the interior. Everything works so well together. Nice job!

Great looking Ferrari, Justin!

Sitting here in my sunroom with a cup of coffee and just went through this entire thread. I’m loving your thoroughness on all aspects of this build. After all of my years in this hobby I still get impatient and find that I have to slow myself down. Your attention to detail is admirable! I’m looking forward to seeing your next update.

Very, very nice!

I am really having trouble with posting from my laptop. In all of my years on the forum I’ve never had this issue. It is very disheartening to spend a fair amount of time writing up descriptions and adding photos to only have your post not go through. I am going to try posting from my iPad. I may try to multiple small posts instead of one larger one. First up are the rotors. In the PE detail up set you can literally build all four rotors from PE. I started doing this, but unfortunately some of the rotor pieces were bent in shipping. I decided to go with the kit supplied PE rotor faces. I did a little weathering on them. I’ve got some tires and wheels to mount to those rotors. The wheels have two small OZ Racing decals. The wheel, hub, and wheel nut are separate colors. The valve stems are molded in place and I just picked them out. I added some PE to the steering wheel. I added two push buttons to the steering wheel and I made a coiled cable. That will do for now. Thanks for checking in. Comments, suggestions, and critiques are welcome.

She’s a beauty, Ken! You have done a great job on her.

Bob, the same exact thing has happened to me several times recently. There is no rhyme or reason that I can find. You are not the first person that this has happened to. I have posted on this forum for years and have never had a problem until very recently.

Fandamntastic!!!

You knocked this one out of the park, Dustin! Just a fantastic job all around!

I plan on heading up there tomorrow. I’ll also run over to Auto Models. I figure John will be vending, but I like going to his store.

She is coming along very nicely, Simo! Looking forward to the next update!

That’s a good looking dragster, Bob! I’m not sure how bad the decals were, but they look good from here, so kudos to you for a nice save!
