Yes. I heard there are some fit issues. Thanks for the heads up!

I really like the old Ferraris.

Let's see how this kit builds. Never built a Fujimi before.

Started building the parts of the engine, chassis and axles. Then primed and painted with auto base coat. Metallic parts were first painted black then metal. This engine must have about 20 pieces to it. That's all for today!?

Starting my first WIP on this fórum with this Fujimi Ferrari. Although it's a small car, the kit has 237 parts.

Yes. Airbrushed. I use paints made by a local company Dryco Colors (Brazil). They are car paints.

The green was supposed to be Frost Green but I ended up sending misleading pictures to the company that makes my paints. I the end I really liked the color ??

Thank you! Building cars after years of airplanes has renewed my mojo. Great fun.

Three bulbs and a cell phone! Thanks! Thank you so much? ?? Thanks! ?? Started a new one today.

Thank you! ?? Thanks! I really like these Metallic Colors that don't exagerated flakes. ? These cell phone cameras are getting better everyday ?Getting the next one on the bench!

This is the Nova COPO kit. I added a vinyl top made with masking tape. The stripes were painted on and the chrome parts repainted. Trims were also painted. The wheels are from the 68 Chevelle kit. Wiring details in the engine are from a cell phone charger. Paints are car paints base coat with 2k clear. Hope you like it!

Wow! Great build! Loved those battery terminals!

Thanks, guys!!???

Thanks! Couldn't have those emblems upside down ???

Nice work! Same kit as I built but completely different concepts! That's what I like about building cars: freedom. PS: and both built in Brazil!?

Thanks! I used regular car paint. Base coat + 2k clear. ? Thanks! ? Very nice kit. Thank you! Thanks! I stripped the original chrome and repainted. Thanks!??

Finished this one last night. It's the Revell kit out of the box. Hope you like it!

Great finish! Really liked weathered engine bay.

Top notch! Beautiful build!

Oh yeah! That's a great build!! Congratulations!!

I bought them here in Brazil but I think SPTA carries similar products. They are 1 inch and stick to a velcro shaft. Each color has a different grain. https://produto.mercadolivre.com.br/MLB-1230281092-boinas-espumas-e-l-1-polegada-suporte-para-micro-retifica-_JM

That's a nice result. What wattage do you use? And how many lamps? Are they LED or fluorescent?

I think any modern phone will do. Mine is a Redmi Note. Modern phones have pretty good zooms. 1) Don't use macro. 2) step back from the model and zoom in. 3) by trial and error, find out the max zoom your phone can go without compromising the quality. On mine, I can go to 2.5x. So I zoom in and step back until the car is completely in frame. The further back you go, the more front to back focus you'll get. Taking pictures this way needs a steady hand; so use a tripod and the camera's timer If you can. Lighting: Get as much light as you can. Don't use LEDs. Most of my LEDs give me zebra stripes on the pictures. Something to do with frequency. I got two 150W daylight bulbs on the sides and two 20W tubes on the top lamp (my table lamp). Hope this helps ?

I built my Photo booth today. Just apare wood and tracing paper and strong lights. The pictures are straight out of my Cell phone. No editing at all.

Very nice!??
