Hi all, Been some time since my last post. Both Fujimi kits scored at a great price and quality that I'm familiar with. Long story short, big Ferrari fan and these are a couple of my favorites. Built both at the same time. The 348 was painted using Tamiya Pure white (TS26 I believe) no clear, and the F355 was done in Scale Finishes 322 Rosso Corsa and SF 2013 Clear. Enjoy, Cheers!

Thank you all for the replies! Going to try again later this evening. Cheers, Franky

Hi all, Havent posted pics here in a couple months, maybe more. When I go to start new topic, The headline, border, or menu above where I'm writing looks different, and now see "Insert other media" in the right hand corner. So I click on that and try to do a direct link to my photobucket, and all I get is red X's. What am I doing wrong? Went back to the tutorial and it looks like the header I use to remember. Thank you for any help! Frank

Looks awesome! Man that paint still looks wet! Great work Slusher.

Awesome work, this turned out beautiful! I built this kit years ago and was a fun build. Did you use the wheels from the tamiya Jag? I did the same with mine as they look great on it!

Paint looks real slick, great choice of color, and Love the idea of the lead sled look!

Great work, looking forward to see more!

Paint work looks nice and smooth. Great color combo! Will be following.

Really nice work. Like the rolled down windows and the wood turned out great!

Very nice! Love the color combo and the photos

Excellent work!

Very nice. Love the color and both wheels do look great!

Awesome work and great pics! Some of the pics look 1:1

Thanks fellas! Will be ordering one shortly.

Amazing build! Really enjoyed going through the thread and seeing all the work you put into this. Will be following this one!

So I picked up a Revell '69 Chevy Nova. My plan is to replicate the first car I remember as a kid, my father's '71 Chevy Nova. Lime green poly, black vinyl roof, black interior with a bench seat, and hubcaps. My fathers car had the straight 6 in it, does anyone know where I can source a similar engine from? Thanks.

Great work and color choice. What brand of Plum Crazy did you use? The paint work looks amazing!

Great build, haven't seen many done either. Looks real good in black!

Thank you all for the great comments! I'm still impressed myself that I completed it in 5 weeks. My wife on the other hand said she was very lonely! :-( So I treated her to lunch the day of the show. Revell did a great job on this kit and for the most part went together quite easily. The only issue I came across was the metal axle being just a tad to wide. When test fitting the body the tires came into contact and made for an extremely tight fit. Few seconds of sanding it down was all she needed!

Hello all, This started as a big task. A build with a deadline of 5 weeks, and to have a 1st place contender at the 2015 Shearwater Hobby Show in Shearwater, Nova Scotia, Canada. I placed second last year, and wanted to try for 1st. So coming off my last build with took a total of 5 months, I knew I had some bench time ahead of me. Special thanks to my wife for letting me disappear to the hobby room a number of times durning the build. The build was to be peer judged so many times through out the build I sat back and thought about what my peers would like to see. Everything had to be close to perfect and many added details were neccasary to stand out. Upgrades: 1) ignition, coil, and starter wires 2) Fuel and oil lines 3) Blower straps 4) Oil pressure guage with line 5) All chrome stripped and redone using Alclad 6) Thinned down blower belt 7) Wired parachutes The results? Finished an hour before leaving and 1st place in the racing division! Special thanks to Len and Bill on this forum for making my job alot easier with their review, build, pic's and links from 2010! http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=35661 Cheers!

One of my favourite movies as a child. I Can still remember sitting on the living room floor with my matchbox cars watching this. Great progress and idea for a build. Will be following this one!

Nice work, that looks great!
