    The brakes are a bit too "drilled", but overall it looks wonderful.

    I really like these cars, and you are taking a very non-traditional approach to recreating one, especially with all the kits available out there. As a model builder, I know what it takes to make something from scratch and look like the real thing. It takes skill and good eye, and looks like you have plenty of both!
  3. Italianhorses
    It did! Looks great.
  4. Italianhorses
    Smurf blue.
  5. Italianhorses
    White is a hard color to paint. I'd definitely put more clear over if you plan on doing much sanding/polishing.
  6. Italianhorses
    Can't make it any more sacrilegious at this point. Its a freaking 288 GTS!
  7. Italianhorses
    I vote for some really non-Ferrari color, like Techno Violet, or Laguna Seca Blue.
  8. Italianhorses
    Clean!
  9. Italianhorses
    Sacrilege!

    I know its too late for this one, but next time when you have a light-color car, try to do panel lines with a darker shade of the base color, i.e, dark yellow, or brown. Would look much more realistic. http://italianhorses.net/Tutorials/Panelines/panels.htm

    Good point.
  12. Italianhorses
    Cool builds - I hope you'll be back on your feet soon. Sorry about the loss - its tough.
  13. Italianhorses
    Yup, it has that Ferrari F40 look-alike wing! Gives it so much presence! Great build.
  14. Italianhorses
    This is such a cool shape - love the wedges! Too bad about the glass - it does look a bit recessed. Wonderful build.
  15. Italianhorses
    Very cool! I like the side to side breakdown pictures of the model and the real thing!
  16. Italianhorses
    Yup, my sentiments exactly. That is why I build a box-stock every now and then. The Huayra looks wonderful!

    These are actually light bulbs that came in the kit (this is box-stock build after all :)), not LEDs, but same principle, I guess. LEDs are better since they won't get warm as these bulbs do!
  18. Italianhorses
    This is awesome! Keeping as is for the memories or rebuild?
  19. Italianhorses
    I looked at that. I need 8 black logos total, which means 2 sets of these at 10 Euro a pop plus shipping. That's expensive.
  20. Italianhorses
    Looks like its out of stock. Will look around - thanks!
  21. Italianhorses
    Question for the masses - anyone have, or know who makes some yellow DUNLOP decals for the wheels, and tiny Castrol logo decals for the front/rear bumpers? These are missing from the kit, and I'm having a hard time sourcing these. Please see photo on what I'm talking about.
  22. Italianhorses
    Wow, Revell still makes those tins? I really hope you reconsider at least spraying the body. Don't know if you will be able to achieve good finish by brush painting.
  23. Italianhorses
    Very nice!
  24. Italianhorses
    Thanks John, much appreciated. Will post some updates soon!

    I usually burnish down all the seams/edges one more time before paint. It really is mostly the quality of the tape that matters - bad tape will not stick well in the first place. Good tape will not easily pull off. Also, I almost never use tape when I need a super clean, sharp line - I use BMF. Expensive and time consuming - yes, but you can't beat the results.
