    This build was not the usual Tamiya perfection, but it was enjoyable, and turns out into a fantasic completed build. the main 2 problems I had were fitting the engine cover - was a little twisted. and also the final fitting of the body onto the chassis, it sits too low at the back, and there were some lugs that clashed with the body. Overall, really pleased! colour is Alclad II Cobalt Blue over Bright silve base and finished with Zero 2K and sanded/polished. Interior is with Zero paints... Comments welcome!

    great F50, one of my favourite Ferraris! agree with Dann on the comments for the mesh that you used to replace the kit piece - which I beleive in the kit is clear. so well done on that!

    Continued to final assembly, but since I opened up the grille, I will have to add a radiator. So I made one! very basic and not great looking, but its better than the gap! next pics will be in the finished section

    SO DECALS NOW DONE - A HUGE THANK YOU TO DR TREVOR!!!!!! Originally I intended on coating with Zero 2k, but decided to just give it a few "coats" of modelling wax - well, Nuvous "clean & shine" does the trick, makes the decals look less "on-top" not perfect, but looks good enough for me, and worth the effort in the end

    SO normally, I use Microsol Decal Set frst, then Micosol Decal Softener after. This time, I used just the softener - but underneath the decal it made a huge difference, although the side effect of having the decal in multiple pieces, is that it was no longer straight. only one bubble appeared around the "R" I again tried to pock a hole and use setting solution to no avail, so cut it out and cut out an additional piece of ceal & added it over the "R"

    Thanks Bruce & Dann, really appreciate it! And Trevor - wouldn't have been possible without you! Ans really good call in packing more than one, I really needed it, these decals were really tough to use. Although the ones you sent are way better than the ones that I originally used. Having said that, they were still troublesom! 2nd side - I tried something different. I cut the decal into multiple part before attaching them:

    The Tamiya gloss black looks good to me...

    Thanks Dann! Saved side 1 by cutting out the wrinkled bits, cutting a new piece of decal & adding - worked out OK

    Cool detail in this build!
  22. Funkychiken
    Hey Dann, this build is coming on nicely, your flocking is superb, and the added depth and details are 2nd to none! Keep it coming

    Great looking trio of El Caminos there!

    Starting decals now... Wish me luck!

    and then I've tried to darken the panel lines... and in wiping off the excess, I've made a mistake and wiped off the black door/window surrounds... but I will try to get it back on track today, as the only thing left after this is decals...
