aurfalien Posted June 4, 2016 Posted June 4, 2016 (edited) Hi, I really liked doing my first Dino 206 kit but it got sorta messed up. So I bought another one. I had some issues with it though, mainly in finishing. I forgot to drill the side mirror holes and decided to glue em on the painted body. Not wanting to mess up the paint, I cut little base plates and glued them on there. However I didn't align em with each other so its a bit cattywampus, kinda like a bad boob job Also, I've been terrified doing spray paint and this was the first kit I actually started to enjoy spraying. One of the many Yodas frequenting this forum mentioned knowing how there paint was going to turn out before spraying. I thought "wow how cool would that be". While model building is still very new to me, its getting more and more fun. Edited June 4, 2016 by aurfalien
MrObsessive Posted June 4, 2016 Posted June 4, 2016 BEAUTIFUL! I love it! The only thing I mighta done differently is paint around the edge of the glass (and headlight covers) with a black sharpie. It takes away some of the scale thickness of the glass. I understand though about not tempting fate..........been there and done that many times!
Gluebomber Posted June 4, 2016 Posted June 4, 2016 Nice model of a good looking car. Good Job!Who makes the kit?

aurfalien Posted June 4, 2016 Author Posted June 4, 2016 Why are the taillights blue? Just wondering...I was trying to be creative. Didn't turn out like I had hoped. Another don't do on my list.
aurfalien Posted June 4, 2016 Author Posted June 4, 2016 (edited) Nice model of a good looking car. Good Job!Who makes the kit? It's a Fujimi. They make 2 versions; a 206 Competizione and a Dino Wolf. This is the latter w/o the Wolf decals. Edited June 4, 2016 by aurfalien
Matt Bacon Posted June 4, 2016 Posted June 4, 2016 Lovely job... You can see how it's the "missing link" between the 250LM and 330P, can't you?bestest,M.
aurfalien Posted June 5, 2016 Author Posted June 5, 2016 Lovely job... You can see how it's the "missing link" between the 250LM and 330P, can't you?bestest,M.Yep, it's prolly what draws me to it as I love both those cars. This kit is worth getting and even more worth full detailing.
aurfalien Posted June 5, 2016 Author Posted June 5, 2016 Nice build, Brian! Great pictures too.I waited a week for the light to be, well not as bad as its been. My iPhone 6 as with all camera phones have poor light gathering capabilities.I'm already finding ways to make this kit way better but I must move on, seriously. But I wanna keep buying it.
Mike 1017 Posted June 5, 2016 Posted June 5, 2016 Beautiful . The street Dino was a V6. Did Ferrari manage to squeeze a V8 into a Race Dino?
aurfalien Posted June 5, 2016 Author Posted June 5, 2016 Beautiful . The street Dino was a V6. Did Ferrari manage to squeeze a V8 into a Race Dino? Well, you'll notice that its transverse, the original kit has small plastic integrated stacks. I drilled em out, drilled the aluminum ones I had and put a small brass pipe in each. Keep in mind this is the Fujimi Wolf Dino based on some anime. Here is what it looked like;
bbowser Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 Great work, I really like the modified intake stacks.
