thanks for the comments guys, I will tone down the glossyness of the heads for sure with some matt, good call! And I will try to enjoy the rest of the build!

All thanks for the replies, Casey, do you have a picture of what you mean by Photoetch plug wiring loom? when you say anchor each piece - do you mean with super glue? what do you mean by match the Outer Diameter to the Inner Diameter?

Hi All, hoping you can help. I've always struggled to get leads in a stright line, there's no PE set for it, If I put glue down, it makes a mess, and the cables seem to have a mind of their own. so, how do you guys do it? this is the Ferarri Testarossa head and HT leads, I'm going after this look. My headers are ready, and I have cable, please help!

Bruce, I was just starting to get over how good the paint job was, then you jit me with that engine! it's just sublime, cool build thanks for taking the time to share!

Its a great start to a cool car!

The Hasegawas are great kits, its coming along nicely!

Andre, your build will be a killer, its good advice from Kurt, the fit of the engine carrier is poor at the back, I had to dissassemble and cut bits off the frame to get it to fit. I decided to go against filling the wing gaps, as i couldn;t see a good way to paint it when it's assembles, but it sure would look better filled. Also, my bonnet lid was twisted good luck, its a great kit!

Exhaust system ready.. this didn't go as planned, but it's turned out OK, im not going to try to get the silver lines on the cyl heads

There's a lot of stuff in Tamiya X-18 Semi matt black, a bit of artistic licence with the anodised orange and reds! the bulk head will have some foil for heat reflective material

Brakes assembled

Lots of bits painted, all shiny bits are Alclad, with some enamel dark grey wash

Yes you are right, has to b red this is one of the few ferraris that looks great in ALL the colours! I couldn't find it! But i'm after a quick build here! It's already taken months to get this far

It certainly is a very nice kit! Fine build...

Welcome back dude, nice clean build!

This is so cool, a friend of mine had one, and he swung by to pick me up to go to a classic meet... Cutting a long story short, it broke down. But was still a fun day. If you are interested I'll fish out the photos... Is this a scratch or from a kit?

It's a great build of a cool car!

All great looking cars, and the two racers look superb in their racing livery. But I really like the look of the street car, fantastic builds!

Very sharp build!

Amazing start! It's going to be a killer

Absolutely stunning build, looks like a real car!

The photos look like they are of a real car, beautiful build!

It's a really nice build, I love this car!

It's a stunner, lovely build!

A cool trio of beemers!

Nice clean build!
