  1. There is a book out “All corvettes are red” about the guys and girls that make the corvette. You might like it. There was a meeting on the corvette to determine what colors they’re supposed to be. It was taking a very long time as they were arguing about it. Finally after a very long time the director said “ what’s taking so long?” The committee said they could not decide. The director said “ All corvettes are red and the rest are mistakes, let’s get on with it!” Still remember that quote to this day. So I agree with you on color. Here is mine
  2. Great tool. I received one as a gift a few years ago and use it all the time. It’s actually indexed pretty good for a plastic drill. Had to fix the trigger a few days ago but for often I use it , it’s a great tool.
  3. Received more parts today. Should be all the parts. Just placed the rear and front ends on the car. Try to get it finished .
  4. Thank you Ray.
  5. Thank you Pierre
  6. Thank you beeRS. Here is a pic of the other side.
  7. Ok, after a day of frustration on the front suspension, it’s built. Nothing fits at all. Had to bend the A arms forward to get the tires to sit in the fender correctly. Cut the springs. Typical model factory hiro. My fellow modeler Phil, put a hiro kit together and said NO MORE! And he is a national IPMS champion. He said it was the most expensive scratch built kit he has ever bought. And today I believed him. Fought this front suspension. It was off on everything. But I was not going to give up. Finally the way I want it. Now take it all back apart and paint the front suspension. I’m sure glad this is not the first hiro kit I built as I would have said “ no more” I also reshaped the front fenders at the wheel opening to center the tire/ wheel . I have only seen one mfh lusso kit built. Now I know why.
  8. Ok Perry, it’s going Nocchiola. This just hit me like a rock. Looks great, not the usual colors of a Ferrari, and I have never painted a model car this color , so it wins all around for me. Thank you for the picture. Maybe this weekend it will be painted.
  9. I might have something that I can tone into that color.
  10. Hello Curt, here is the contact that Mark uses if there is any issues on a kit. Hope this helps
  11. Loooks great
  12. Fitted the glass. A little work with a hiro kit. I made a template for the side windows. Fit the template first then traced it onto the clear plastic. They fit good. You will want to do this before paint. A lot of handling .
  13. That teal is amazing!
  14. Yeah I am leaning toward a burgundy/ Maroon. I have some in stock that might look pretty good. Was saving it for my 246 Dino.
  15. The body is just so sexy. For a mfh kit it’s pretty easy so far. Should not have said that…..it’s a mfh kit and has suprises. Color is going to be the tough decision on this one.
  16. You will love it.
  17. A better mock up. Wheels finished, primed, engine next.
