Thanks Chris, I've posted some up here in the NASCAR section. I'm not really a NASCAR guy as far as races go, but I've enjoyed building these new generation of kits. I've got serveral cars that need to be finished, but I'm awful, I start a project get to a certain stage then leave it for something else....I've got so many unfinished projects I could probably finish one a month for the next two years and still have more left over that I can't even recall off the top of my head. Some of my NASCAR wip's awaiting completion: Jimmie's 2016 Kobalt SS Fantasy JJ's Kobalt Chevy Super Truck (rebuild of an old truck with Powerslide decals--same sheet as the SS) Fantasy Hot Wheels Ford Fusion (old set of JWTBM decals) JR's Last Ride SS (this is stalled cause I'm waiting on decals to be printed...supplier had a bad batch of paper and is trying to catch up on orders) All have threads here somewhere....I promise....one day I'll finish one of these.

True, but as long as NASCAR doesnt update the chassis' the current generation of kit will be usable as donors for the Camaro and Mustang next year. I'm sure someone will copy and cast a diecast, they might need some work but at least they'll be there for those that want to build one. But I agree, with Revell USA gone, I don't see the German side doing any "new" kits. Hopefully they'll at least do a run or two of the current kits even if they release them as blanks for those that want to use them as donors.

As of now, no kit from Revell and I wouldnt expect one with the death of Revell USA. There is a resin one around, not bad, not perfect but not bad. Mike's decals carries it, if it's in stock. Brandon Miller is working on a 3D rendered body that should fit the SS kit, but he hasnt printed it yet as far as I am aware of. Once it's printed he'll decide whether or not to have it mastered and cast in resin or just make it available from his Shapeways store. He's got a lot of other nice parts for NASCAR stuff in his store, search Millersports on Shapeways. Couple mock ups of the the resin Camaro body I got from Mike's. I still haven't done anything with it yet, another one of the things on the long list to do.

No real progress today but I did put the wheels up underneath for a look. Right now I think that the front sits a bit too high so I'll have to address that during final assembly.

Nice start Ian. I love them both. Looking forward to more.

Yep, absolutely, podium car deserves to shown in it's glory. Thanks for the replies guys, unfortunately no progress today. My computers went down last night and spent all night and most of today rebuilding one and redoing the network with some upgrades. Now that I'm worn out from that I will try to get the body finished off tomorrow.

Most of the decals are done for now, just a couple more to go and a few gaps to fill in. Should have them done tomorrow and will be able to clear as well. The MFH decals are really nice to work with and lay down very well with little or no solution needed. Thanks for looking in.

Thanks for the reply guys. I got the paint done last night. Gravity Colors 2K white primer topped off with Gravity's Porsche Carrera White. This morning I started in on the decals. I'll get the big ones on first then go back around and add in the smaller detail decals before some clear. More later on today.

This is my first Model Factory Hiro kit, it's their 1/24 kit of the 2017 Ferrari 488 GTE from Scuderia Corsica that finished 3rd in the GTE AM class at Le Mans. It's a "curbside" with limited chassis detail but does show the engine top through the rear engine hatch. It does have a nicely detailed interior tho so I plan to add in some extra detailing there. You can see detail shots of the mock up on the MFH website HERE . For now, wheels and tires are pretty much done, I might add a few more details in, not sure yet. Extra tire markings are from Powerslide's tire goodies set. The tire decals were covered with some Vallejo matte varnish to seal them in and I did the same on the wheel decals with some Tamiya acrylic clear and darkened up the centers with some panel line accent to give them a bit of depth. It's nice and cool here this morning so going to try to get some paint on the chassis today now that the heat wave is over.

If you're still waiting for an order I'd contact paypal or your CC and put a claim in for a refund. I like Mate's product a lot , but his CC is not good right now. If he's not getting messages a refund request will get to him for sure then.

He was sending them out with the latest round of orders after June 1st.

Yes, the gift card has a code on it, you put it in the coupon spot at check out and it deducts the cost of 1 bottle of paint from your total.

Scale Productions re-releases it every once in awhile. I think last year was the last time. He does a limited number. Contact Michael at Scale Productions and see if he plans on doing another re-issue.

Probably the stripes that come on the Powerslide tire detail sheets from Mike's. I'm assuming cause it looks like the other markings on the tires are from Powerslide. Nice conversion Jay. Looks convincing to me.

Some pics of the chassis from Dave Thibodeau's FP page. The build is OOB for Revell.

I have one ordered from a UK vendor. He got word from his supplier last week that Revell has said August. Hoping for sooner, but if it's a month away and holds to that, I'm ok with it.

The body is two pieces. If you have one of the snap kits they use the same process to make the LM body. So the nose and sides are one piece and they slip up into the roof and rear end. There's a video floating around on FB of someone that has a test shot and shows the two pieces going together. I'll see if I can find it.

Started on this today. Chase SS kit shot with Scale Finishes Chevrolet Hot Red and Black then topped off with SF pearl mid coat. I'm waiting for decals from Stoney. Clear will go on before decals to seal in the pearl then I'll top it off with some more clear afterwards. Chevrolet Hot Red Black and Pearl mid coat. I've got some SEM chassis grey coming in tomorrow so I should have the chassis painted up and ready by the end of the week.

OMG how have I not seen this before now? This is awesome. One of my favourite Ferrari's . There's a FB group that is dedicated to MFH builds. You should join if you're not already a member. There are some stunning builds on that group and yours would fit right in Bruce. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1927253640884110/ Can't wait to see more.

Looking good Benny. Nice detailing on the brakes.

I have 8 of them....totally worth it. They're very nice kits, simplistic, but in the good way. There are more and more liveries becoming available for them all the time so there's lots of options for building unique versions. They're the new " Danica NASCAR" kits for GT fans.

Another great Corvette WiP. Thanks for sharing Ismael. I'll be following along again. I'm hoping to get to CTMP next weekend for the IMSA race. I'm sure Ron will be there for the race.

Yep, my guy got back to me and said the same thing, shipping out today.

One of the guys I buy kits from off FB sometimes has hinted that it's possible he's getting his shipment in this week. If I hear more I'll update. EDIT....just found the post I was looking for, he was told that the kits would start shipping Tuesday (today). No confirmation on that yet tho.

Looking great Christopher. Very nice finish on the paint and clear. Small tip for you next one, if you paint the insides of the wheel backs silver before pushing the wheel fronts into the tires, the silver will make it look like the rotors are in behind. I paint mine silver then use a bit of Tamiya panel line accent to highlight the ridges on the insides of the wheel backs. Breaks up the black hole that is the wheels some.
