    My first impression exactly! But then again, were it a replica, it would be a red one to show it's a "real" Ferrari! LOL! Those wheels remind me of those of the latter MB 500E cars... https://www.mercedes-benz.com/de/mercedes-benz/classic/museum/begehrter-youngtimer-mercedes-benz-500-e/ Dave, that's an interesting story. I like the idea of the "small-case dioramas" a lot, but then again, not all good ideas/ products become successful...

    I second that. Lovely job! I built this in 1993/94 IIRC. Would like to have restored my old build after getting back into the hobby in 2016, but all those many, many parts formerly glued together practically just fell apart. So it was easier buying a new kit since they have become easily available shortly after that. I would be happy to get a result near as good as yours!

    I like it too!

    Lovely color, great build! Glad I got a hold on one of these kits recently, they are pretty much sold out over here...

    Thanks Adam!

    Super-clean build, great color choice, lovely Pontiac!

    Very nice result! I agree that Tamiya TS paints do not necessarily require clearcoat. They can be polished to a nice shine without that. I did my '69 Camaro the same way recently, using TS-40 and polishing stuff only. I like the way you did the rear panel. Applying the BMF there is no piece of cake, considering that the panel has to be painted in black. I know so well because I am currently doing the MPC snap kit, but in a very different color and with a flag on the roof...

    Nice workhorse! Looks great in every department!
  9. Tommy124
    This looks great. That same snap kit is on it's way to me, looking forward...

    Thanks Joe - appreciated!

    I THINK I like it! Well done!

    Thanks Larry!

    Finally... someone painting the car in the color exactly according to the box art! LOL Looks good!

    And I preferred the 5-cylinder turbo Audi S2 Coupe that I had in the mid-90's. Much heavier, but really fast (chip-tuned engine). The story about the replaced turbo suits perfectly to what I heard about the Lancia's engine at the time. These engines weren't really renown for their durability. That didn't keep Lancia from winning 6 rallye world titles in a row though...

    Very nice work. I have seen quite a lot of these Delta kits spoiled by sloppy paint work on the grille. Yours is spot-on!

    Nice choice of color and a great paint job aswell. Reminds me of your tutorial... Fully agree on sparing yourself the decal business, CF decals are significantly overrated, IMHO.

    What can I say... COOL cars, all of them!

    I like 'em all... Basically, there are 3 Countach types to me: the original LP400, the "winged" 5000 type 80's car and the "final edition" 25th Anniversary car. The Anniversary type - done: The other 2 will be done yet, probably in the shape of the brilliant Aoshima kits which I'd prefer over the Fujimis EM's anytime: https://www.scalemates.com/kits/aoshima-046708-lamborghini-countach-lp400--196412 https://www.scalemates.com/kits/aoshima-01155-lamborghini-countach-5000-quattrovalvole-injection-ver-overseas--1030685

    Nice build and the color came out beautifully.
  21. Tommy124
    Thanks, David, Steve and Jeremy!
  22. Tommy124
    Careful, Dann, as that means you'll still have to build a Bugatti to complete the scenery... LOL! Btw, I have that dog kit too!
  23. Tommy124
    I love this forum but I hate it that these "Big Boys" large-scale car builds are a in a completely different topic/ thread, one in which I rarely drop by. So I missed out again on a lot of your great progress, Dann. I don't know what to write about that anymore. Simply SB sensation!! I like your idea about modifying the "bull" and I will follow your WIP more regularly now!

    Looking nice and a good and distinctive color choice. I have looked at a LOT of Chargers recently, and I don't remember any of them being yellow...
  25. Tommy124
    Good to know, thanks for the input!
