Kurt, this is an amazing build, it's going to be a killer model! -
Michael, absolutely amazing build, thanks for sharing all the tips along the way! All that bespoke carbon detailing would drive me nuts.

Tamiya Ferrari Testarossa 1:24 90s Magic!
Funkychiken replied to Funkychiken's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Agreed, I've made it low so that it doesn't interfere with the engine bay lid! -
Like my builds, it's coming along slowly, but also yours looks excellent!

Tamiya Ferrari Testarossa 1:24 90s Magic!
Funkychiken replied to Funkychiken's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Thanks Guys, this one has been on the bench and is now ready for the body shell... I've added the fuel filler in the engine bay. -
I did mask the entire body for the black bits. It was quite a chor, nut when peeling back, some of the paint came with it and had to be redone.

Hi Bee, yes I'm going to use those stripes, as seen in this image, cut ready to be applied. I used tamiya soke acrylic for the panel lines, as it's not as extreme as black, but it is still too much. I tried to remove it, but it doesn't come out. So it's staying.

Thanks Bee and David! I will not be defeated, I'm on the home straight.

Hey, it's also one of my favourites! I guessed it was humidity or dirt, but could also have been too much thinner. It's been touched up now, and it's not great, but it's saved.

nice technique withe seams of the body components, I can't see myself having the skill or patience for that... coming along nicely! love it....

For whatever reason, i'm not sure why, I recoated with 2K Zero clear... it didn't go so well, lots of pitting in the paint. Happened also to my Airfix Ford Fiesta that a painted shortly before. I've have to do some agressive sanding & thats left 3 areas back to primer. in other areas the pitting remains. Also as you can see from the roof top - the aggressive sanding throught he earlier steps of the grades has left its mak. the pic of the front left corner of the car shows how glossy and smooth the paint was when it went on, smae there were so many errors. I'm not looking for perfection, so I'm going to mask for the black bits and run through to final assembly.... its another kit thats been on the bench far too long.
