Engine of the 1 16 almost done, Scratch build of the carburetor top and some wiring, more to come

This is the fastest, one of my first kits so it isn't came out good, but soon i will build the new tamiya laferrari FXX K with my new standards

WOW! the paint looks amazing! Great job!

So i did some progress on the wheels And i attach the 1/24 engine wirh the drive shaft and differential And radiator with alclad Chrome fans And in the cabin(that's the right word....?) I not done with the seats yet... 1/16 1/24(very simple look) Im still working on the 1/16 engine, i try to scratch build the air funnels of the engine

Got this great lambo models today! Looks great!

So there is any safe exhaust fan(explosion proof) that we can buy in reasonable price? I need one that ships internationally Does bilge blower is safe? (from what I know is job is to ventilate the engine bay in a boat feom fuel fums....)

This for the seats? It would be like x18, no? (semi gloss black) what for the main color interior?

I start thinking on the interior color, is should be kind of black, not completely black (like x1, x18) i thought about tamiya xf85 rubber black, or mr color tire black. what do you guys think? Any other suggestions? What is the best color/method for simulate black leather on the seats? I have access to Vallejo, tamiya and mr color

I changed the wiring of the spark plugs, the previous was overscale.... What do you think?

Ok, i had done some progress on the chassis, in th 1/16 i lost some part, so i scratch build it like this: This is the opposite side, And the scratch build : After that i made new suspension arms for both of them, blue onrs for the 1/16 ad white for the 1/24 And in the chassis, including the differential : I also finished the 1/24 engine (i will add some more detail later) : the 1/16 had some issues with the fitting and i need to repaint it(i tried with blue, didn't like it)

Wow! Very beautiful paint job! Nice job!

Thanks guys! General, its a good kit, i had some problems with the fitting of the rear cowl to the front body parts(its came in 2 pcs) so i superglue it to the chassis, i also has ro cut the metal shaft of the rear wheels because its has too long and the wheels hit the body. About the engine, this is how its look like in the original kit: (You also can see the metal shaft that I had to cut) This is what i did:

Hey guys, I'm just started to build 2 shelby cobra 427, 1/16(mpc) and 1/24 (fujimi) For now, i painted the body, gravity colors guardsman blue for the 1/16 and tamiya ts19 metallic blue for the 1/24, later i will paint white stripes on both of them. One question, why to the 1/16 doesn't have the lower air intake? (the small one) (i don't know english very well, so I'll mostly post some photos Without many words, so enjoy. but feel free to give advices)

Look nice! Can't wait to start my own. Which paint u used for the red?

Here, why to the 1/16 doesn't have the lower air intake? (the small one)

Great work! I just started building my own 1/16 cobra

WOW! Awesome!

You can ask for him a custom special colors? Or you offerd him to make new colors?

Hey I soon want to start building this kit, and after reading the instructions for general review and sorting body parts for painting, i saw that although it cames with separate Trunk and hood, the hinges is not 'workable' its doesn't have option for a movement , am i right? What the point of that? There is option to make them work? (at least the bonnet...i don't care about the trunk) There is the instructions http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/image/10025342z3/70/3 Thanks

which year is the mpc 1/16?

Thank you all! I need this pics also as a color reference(where the blue ends ans other colors begin) and engine details, so eventually i satisfied with all those photos and info. What the differences in the body all over the years?
