looks great man. should look wicked!

Yes! Another ferrari fan!

Oh this looks really awesome!!! Did you order from Hobby Easy? Im looking forward to building this kit myself. Have fun!

so far, so awesome! I love watching these types of builds! I'm going to follow closely.

Well gents, I finally got around to taking a couple pictures. Here's what I'm building: And I'm using this PE set from Hobby Design. This and several other parts for future builds arrived from Hong Kong yesterday, and I ordered it last Thursday, talk about fast delivery! Underside of the car so far: I have to tape off the painted bits and hit the remainder of the underbody with the custom Model Master Insignia Blue/Chrome Silver paint I'm not thrilled with this piece. I didn't get the paint thin enough on the first go round and it has a crinkled, spattered look to it. Lesson learned for next build. suspension pieces getting primed: I've removed several mold lines from the corners of the car and given her a two mist coats of grey and white primer. Then I wet sanded the body to remove any dust that the wet primer attracted. I used a few dental tools to deepen the panel lines, mainly the doors and trunk (where the largest gaps would be). And this is the color that I think gets close to Tamiya's instructions for Deep Marine Blue: It's simply enamel Model Master Insignia Blue mixed with Chrome Silver at a 14:1 ratio. I have yet to test it and I suspect I will have to add more Blue, most likely to a 25:1 ratio.

Thanks Lee! I'm looking forward to seeing some great projects from everyone!

Hello all! I'm JD, I've been in the hobby off and on for about 9 years now. I started in 32nd scale Warbirds when I was a teenager and moved into cars shortly before joining the Army. After a few years I got back into the hobby in 35th scale German Armor while I was in Korea for a year. After finally getting out, I'm getting back into the hobby and cars once again. Anyway, here's what's on the bench: I'm not aiming for too much scratchwork while I'm trying to regain my skill in the hobby. While I'm waiting on a PE set from Hong Kong to come in, I've been fiddling with some aluminum rods for a custom exhaust. I'm planning on doing some big work on an R-34 in the future, but next up on the bench is Tamiya's 1/20th Ferrari F60. Anyway, I'll get a build log together soon. Cheers!
