  4. I'm almost sure this Hobby Design tires will be the ones that will fit...
  5. Oh OK, thanks for the fast reply. Could you think it could be Fujimi 19222?
  6. Hello AFX, could you tell us the Fujimi product number of those tires, because I googled them and there's a set that come with the wheels too and I don't know is that the one you mentioned. Thanks!
  7. Thanks for your comment. Check out the video I Just uploaded at the end of those pictures...
  8. When I was airbrushing the clear, I forgot to throw light coats of clear firt, as always, and you guys can se the result in the firts picture, a total mess. After I polished the whole model, I reworkes the roof of the model working with a new carbon paper decal and airbrushed clear again, but Just in this section this time. At the end I think everything turned out ver well.. Movie003.mp4

  10. Hello, awesome and unusual topic selected. I think that after all that great work you have done with this models, it deserves a better and correct set of wheels. Th first pick should be the Campagnolos that are pictured on the kit's box. The sencod one, and classic on Ferraris of this period are the Borranis. As you can see, I'm including here pictures of the real ones and links where you can get the in 1/24. https://www.mkakter.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=123711 www.geminimodelcars.com/listing/1140333867/borrani-turned-and-photoetched-wire If you go to www.renaissance-models.com, you can get both styles of wheels and the correct wood kit for the steering wheel. Good luck!
  11. These are pictures of the completed interior tub...
  12. I received another BMW M4 body from Alpha Model,but, like the first time, it arrived with the roof crushed. The good news is thta is was much easier to fix tan the Firth time and in less than 10 minutes I had this one ready for primer. I even tried out the interior cabin I already built just to check fix. This time I opened the panel lines, did the panel lines on the roof to be guides for the carbón fiber paper airbrushed some Finisher's foundation white, Finisher's foundation blue, and Finisher's Chrome silver. Added Scale Motorsport carbon fiber on the roof and finally airbrushed Gaianotes EX-03 clear.
  13. Hello, it has been a very long while since I posted any project here. I'm returning working on my first Alpha Model, a BMW M4. It arrived with the pillars crushed, but, nothing that could not be easily repaired, as I did. After I did the repair, I just airbrushed the sections where it was fixed and since this model is so perfectly casted that I didn't used any primer et all. For the color I have in mind I started with Finisher's gloss white, Finisher's Foundation Blue and ending with Finisher's Chrome Silver. In order to get the color I wanted, I custom mixed Modo Phantom Green and Clear Sky Blue. At the end you can see the results...
  14. The turned rims from Detail Master can't be found any more. I'm working on do them myself...
  15. Check your message box, I sent some pictures of the 914/6.
  16. OK my friend. Thanks so much for the info. Let's see when I finish model to share some pictures with you. Simón
  17. Thanks a lot my friend for your fast answer to my question. I think that I will do is, since I want to have a whole engine and include the axles adn not the rod that connects the wheels, will be to make a mold from either the Fujimi flatnose or the Tamiya 1988 911 Turbo and shave that bottom part and subtitute it with casted parts. Let see how it turns out. Actually, at present time I'm building the Historics Racing Miniatures 914/6 you designed and helped me to get one. In that one, I cut that part and substitued the oil returning tubes with Hobby Design stainless steel tubing. Here are a couple of pictures of what I did. What measure of plastic tubing you used for the roll bar and the engine parts?
  18. Excellent built...What chassis you used?...It looks like it has a built in lower part of both the transmition and the engine block. What size of plastic tubing you used for both, the roll bar and engine parts? ...Please, let me know...
  19. Thanks so much to all you guys for your nice comments and stop by and take a look on this nostalgic build... Simón P. Rivera-Torres
