Very well done! Italeri has always been an underrated brand. No doubt however IMHO that they have always given a bit "extra effort" to the models with Italian originals such as Ferrari and Lamborghini...

Very nice! Great work on the interior to get some detailing out of that old kit. The body looks great in white and the BMF and fine brush work on the emblems and badges came out nicely!

Like that AMX... Jo-Han kit?

Great result, I like it!

I agree to all of the above, GREAT result!

Well done, Ken! Looks very nice and I'm thankful for every GSX not painted yellow

The word 'productive' comes to mind... Very nice models and quite a lot of "subjects" to be seen! Did you do all these with detailed engines or is that where you saved some time?

You pushed all the right buttons, Jim. Very nice!

VERY nicely done!

So do I, but there's limits to that. If the source image is quite big and the required size only a few millimetres, you will end up with something unrecognizable. But I agree that it will work for license plates.

Just saw on several European webshop sites that the Ferrari kits are on sale or at least available for pre-order. https://www.hiroboy.com/Alpha_Models--manufacturer--186.html# https://www.bsmodels.be/shop/model-kits/124-am02-0008-ferrari-812-full-kit/

Good idea and very nicely done!

Awesome work, I'm impressed!

First of all, congrats on the COPO. Looking good! As far as the antenna "issue" is concerned, I found the use of "disposable acupuncture spring handle needles" very helpful. I am using those in 0.35 mm diameter and IMHO they look fine in 1/25 scale.

I really like this. A nice choice of color and beautiful wheels. Well done!

Thanks for the explanation, Bill. I have used a similar method for getting small logos etc. and as you said, the outcome depends on the original resolution and the printer's quality. For some of those things printed out on normal paper I have found it helpful to "seal" it with self-adhesive transparent foil, the stuff that is used to protect book covers.

Hi there, I can't see any images...?

Thanks Oliver, appreciated!

Very well done! I have seen other modelers archieve nice results for that kind of "metallic interior" look by using Tamiya Pearl Clear but your method definitely worked out nicely too! Will you reveal the "decal trick" to the others too? Is a about using printouts for patterns?

Great result, really like it! May I ask, has anyone here already built the MPC Bobby Isaac kit? Can't seem to find anything...?

Beautifully done! I really like it!

Yes, the same as you'll ALWAYS have to be, using one for this purpose. It goes without saying that a FH with temperature control and timer should be used. Low temperature setting and frequent control of the plastic's state is mandatory. I guess the paint is not the issue here, as far as I understand, the paint was already on when he bought it, so he'll likely strip off the paint anyway...

Welcome, there's a lot too look and learn here, and LOTS of inspiration to be found!

Thanks for the compliment, Tom!

Sounds like it's working similar to the stuff I am using for stripping paint and cleaning the airbrush. But it's another product obviously: https://www.kremer-pigmente.com/de/methoxypropanol-pm-70920.html I am not using this however for cleaning brushes as it stinks too much. I have a dedicated room for airbrushing (where I'm working with a respirator only) and I do all paint stripping on the outside. But the detail painting is done in-house so this stuff is a no-go there.
