Mike C Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 Well, it's finally done after sitting in the closet since around '99. I managed to get PE parts for it too as I was starting this discontinued kit. I got them in four days. Here it is with lots of pix. Thanks for looking.
Gt fan Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 That looks really good. Who heat shielding did you use under the hood.? Well done!!
Mike C Posted September 11, 2016 Author Posted September 11, 2016 That looks really good. Who heat shielding did you use under the hood.? Well done!!Thanks. The heat shielding is that alum. duct tape. The texture is molded into the hood. It was like applying BMF only thicker with a stronger adhesive.
Ron Hamilton Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 A very nice build of one of my favorite cars!!!! As Enzo (Raul Julia) said in the film (as he ripped off the rear view mirror) "What's behind me is not important!!!!!
landman Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 Very nice. Are the white "sleeves" on the plug wires paint?
Mike C Posted September 11, 2016 Author Posted September 11, 2016 Very nice. Are the white "sleeves" on the plug wires paint?Yes, I used paint as it was the only thing that was thin enough, besides, I didn't have anything else to use.
Dann Tier Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 Love the work you did on this kit! -it turned out Great!
MrObsessive Posted September 12, 2016 Posted September 12, 2016 Very nice and clean job on what I know can be a very difficult and fiddly kit! Your paint is exceptionally smooth, and no other color makes this car look best 'cept red! I've got both the Spyder and the coupe, and someday I'll get the ambition to wrestle with 'em again.
Funkychiken Posted September 12, 2016 Posted September 12, 2016 great build of a really detailed model, I have one in the stash, not got the nuts to start it! well done!
