70 Sting

Excellent craftsmanship!

I don’t think I’ve seen one of these built… nice job! Looks great alongside your other builds. ?

Big fan of this car and you did a great job on both. Never would have thought about thinning the bumpers.?

Great lookin’ car. Nice work!

Yes, classic beauty. Been eyeing the 250 GTO and Dino 246 GTS. 8^)

You did a great job on this build. I like the lowered stance - will check out your build notes. I built the street car version of the 911 and it was a masking nightmare.

You did a great job building and photographing the model! Oh, and nice work with the BMF. I also have one of these in the stash - might move it up in the build order.

Great lookin’ car. ?

@StanGlover Great looking Mustang ?

Thanks @beeRS I’ve picked up so many tips from this forum and various YouTubers to avoid pitfalls that its nice to give back a little. ?

Thanks @jaymcminn. I have a Fujimi Ferrari 430 Scuderia in the stash… I’m hoping IT “falls together” :^)

@StanGlover That’s a nice looking Omni :^) I used the entire LP jar plus the start of a second. Was your TS-39 full? Back in the 80’s, a friend’s mom bought a Dodge Omni 024 that was 2-tone orange and black. Better looking than any of the hand-me-downs we drove.

High quality work!

Great builds! I’m about to start Revell’s ‘32 5 window… yours have provided inspiration. :^)

Thanks @ea0863 . That Mica Red changes hue under different colours of light - more than any paint I’ve worked with.

Good morning, Sharing my thoughts on this Fujimi kit. It was painted with Tamiya LP-42 Mica Red over Tamiya Pink Primer and clear coated with TS-13. The interior is Zero Paints Ferrari Cuoio Leather clear coated with Tamiya X-35 Semi Gloss and Tamiya TS-29 Semi Gloss Black. In hindsight, I wished I'd added a little more back to the interior - which I would have done if the doors could be opened and closed. I left the wheels their original chrome but gave them 3 coats of Tamiya X-19 Smoke. The kit contains some photo etch parts and window masks. Most of the kit went together quite well, however I noted a few exception below. What I learned: 1. Mica Red required multiple coats before it started looking red and not orange over the pink primer. 2. First time using decanted TS-29 Semi Gloss Black - it seemed to go on like their LP-5 and looks identical to my eyes once dry. 3. First time using Zero Paints. It can be sprayed between 15 to 40 psi. I would lean more towards 15 next time - especially for the interior as the paint dried very quickly. 4. It's probably just me, but the plastic seemed more brittle than other kits I've built. I broke a wiper and the small front spoiler. 5. Fitment issues: When dropping in the engine, make sure the headers are tight to the engine as it is a snug fit inside the engine compartment (they can't be seen anyway). The nose/mustache did not fit flush against the left and right quarter panels so I used CA glue + accelerator to hold them down. The headlights are attached from below but there is no way they can be attached to the pins on the nose/mustache. I had to cut the mounting holes on the headlights into semicircles (kinda hard to explain, but picture horseshoe vs. ring toss). The side mirrors and the small front spoiler gave me nightmares. The contact points are too small and I popped the mirrors off a couple times and made a glue mess of the (broken) spoiler. And finally, perhaps this is a Fujimi characteristic (had the same problem with a GT40), the body to chassis fit takes a little patience while you enjoy all the creaking and scraping sounds. I'm not bashing the kit, however I don't think I'd build another Berlinetta. Thanks for reading :^)

Great build, looks 1:1.?

Good lookin’ car! ?

Lookin’ good ?. The chrome is amazing, what did you do to it?

Nicely none. I like ‘em all!

Good lookin’ car!

That’s an incredible piece of art. ?

Exceptional work. Did you use BMF for the trim?

Super fine work!

A piece of art.
