Phil....that turned out really great. I followed this in your WIP and can really appreciate the work and research you put into it. I also know its extra work to post all those WIP photos so thank you for that as well. It will all come in handy when I start mine..

Josh...oh my..that is a beauty. I see a lot of differences between my model and this car in its current state. But race cars change over time. That is their nature. We as modelers have to decide which version we want to do. The decision is often subjective. Do we want to do a model car and build it to suit our taste or do we want a scale replica and build it to certain specifications. In my case I must have looked at 100's of photo's (all different) and finally decided on a gold "I" liked. I painted mine 4 times before I was happy. That pin stripe around the graphics can be replicated with vinyl tape cut down thin by the way. Would be impossible to paint on.

Josh....that's lookin real good. Should be a great model when done. Here is mine for comparison. It was done about 6-7yrs ago.

Hi Josh...thanks for bringing this post to the front page. It got a lot of attention the first time I put it up. I use the india ink trick a lot. Get the kind that is water soluable when dry, that way you can wipe away excess anytime you want. I use it a lot for panel lines. A cheap nib pen is all you need and a steady hand. I have done the gold car and if I remember I spent a lot of time custom mixing that gold until I was happy. I may still have the formula somewhere if you are interested. I airbrushed mine.

Excellent job, interior is top notch. Especially the steering wheel.

Very nice build, this caught my eye. I used own a real one, road version of course.

Gorgeous model, luv the wheels.

I have recently sprayed several models with no problems. I don't use primer. First couple coats are sprayed at hi pressure and low nozzle. Let it dry at least 10min in between coats and once you have a fairly solid color you can lower the pressure and open the nozzle. The final two coats are wet. Splash does not dry to a very hi shine and often it looks like there are imperfections in the paint. 2K clear is the recommended clear coat and any imperfections in the paint disappear once the clear is applied.

Turned out great Justin...you did a superb job.

Dave, I think this looks great. Great conversion work. I did something similar to this awhile back. Mine was the Targa Florio car.

Very nice job, who made the decal set.

Bruce...nope those came with the kit and were finished in satin. . Thanks for the compliment.

Nice model, a good attention to detail. Liked the history...it was a nice touch.

Glad this re-surfaced. Beautiful build Dann. Ferrari's are my favorite and this one ranks right up there..... Yuda Mann

Great project Kurt. I remember seeing these in the auto magazines but never read the articles. I always thought they had a Lambo engine. Now it makes sense, since at the time Chrysler owned Lamborghini. The hellcat engine is a great choice and looks awesome, but if it were me I would go for a Lambo V-12...jus sayin'......<G>

Dave, Aoshima/Beemax are big into aircraft and have recently gotten into cars. What they have done is excellent and just below Tamiya as far as quality is concerned. What I really like about them are the PE kits they provide as alternatives to stock out of box builds. Etiher way they are a joy to build and make handsome additions to a collections. I am starting to see more of them on this forum.

Thanks...I have always felt doing decals was an artform all to itself. Appreciate the compliment

Matt...this is a wonderful kit to build and you are off to a great start. I see I am not the only one to use alligator clips mounted on sticks to hold and spray parts.

I have 40+ models in my collection with the Martini livery....so you might say... I have some experience. Thanks for the kind words BTW

Thanks Dave, the Shadow is not far from my mind. But Martini cars are my favorite and when i get one they usually take precedence.

It sure was....thanks for the compliment Thanks Thanks Yah it is..its a cool car Thanks for the compliment...and I agree with you

Martini is my favorite, got a whole collection of em.

Thanks JC

Thanks Kurt, appreciate it

Thanks Brett, hope you get to see this in person.
