ERIK88 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 So this is my newest build, I got it for free from my brother. This is a curbside model, very few parts count. Have any of you guys built one of these before? Did you encounter issues with the gaps in the hood? The manual Reccomends to live the hood open, something tells me monogram knew of this problem haha. I usually don't like leaving the hoods open on my models, but I guess I will have to on this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ERIK88 Posted October 30, 2016 Author Share Posted October 30, 2016 Oh and this car will be painted Ferrari red , with the black bottom 2 tone. The interior will be tan. It will pretty much be just like it's real counterpart, besides the color of the rims. I don't like how the chrome or aluminum wheels look on the real 1:1 , so I decided to paint the wheels black. It gives it a more sinister look to it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
935k3 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 You should workout fit problems before painting. The hinge geometry probably needs some work and some palstic needs added to make it fit. If you are painting it red you should a primer or base coat of white. The red will look much brighter and better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exotics_Builder Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Why are you calling it Monogram when that is an AMT box in the background? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funkychiken Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 It doesn't look like a curbside!Looking good so far tho, but agree with the comments about fixing the fit first! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
