Wow, what a wild looking body. A super car for sure

Sorry, Scott, didn't mean to not reply back......yes it is!, and by the way, I was totally serious about your Ferrari build!!....I love it!!

[Dann Tier]

Forgot to share these reference photos of the "notched-out" vents that allow the support bar to be there. The crazy thing is that if yiu look at the cowl to your kit, there is a mold seam EXACTLY where, and how this notch should be??!!!  -Did they accidently fill it in, or were they messing with us?!....lol

Such an awesome kit, its a shame that Aoshima really screwed it up with all the ill fitting body panels, you are doing a wonderful job,  I want to get another one as the first I did I butchered it to hell and back to get everything to fit.

I might PM you sometime Dann to get some notes from you

thanks, Jonathan!,  After seeing ALL the built ones coming out with horrible fit problems, I decided to help people with it, so if can help, that's what i'm here for!!

Here I show how i'm fixing that nasty gap, and its going really well!!

[Twokidsnosleep]

I might have missed this, what are we planning on body paint and clear ???.....ie. colors/ brands

I have been pondering starting out my next build with the body paint, decals and clear rather than leave it to the end...that way if I screw up, haven't wasted time super detailing the engine and such

Just make sure to do all of your dry fitting of subassemblies first!

Got the gap with the front cowl fixed!!!!...it went GREAT!!, now its time for that HORRIBLE mess in the back end.......everything is EXACTLY where its suppose to be, and its a HORRIBLE gap!!  There is only ONE option, and its gonna take a bit of work...doable though, but we SHOULDNT have too.

I will be painting it Duplicolor Pewter Metallic, with three coats of their clear, topped with 1-2 coats of Tamiya clear.

I built mine just shortly after it came out , so, there was no one that had figured out how to fix the issues yet

I tried to build one as soon as they were available, so I ordered mine from a local hobby shop....you know, to support them, but after a year went by with no call, I ordered my own, and got it from Japan in a week!....and they wonder why people are doing online sales........?

Hello and no worries.

I'm in my own hell messing up decals and stripping paint jobs!

[Dann Tier]

I have OUTSTANDING news for everyone!!!,  the rear bumper wasn't that bad at all to fix!!!!.....easier than the front cowl actually!!   After staring at it for a few hours to see how I was going to have to "hack it up" just to make it right, I had Tina check it out. She helped me figure-out, that all you have to do is slide the bumper back off the factory belly-pan contact, and push the bumper up to meet the rear cowl........that was it!!!!!!   -Man do I LOVE my Tina!!!!   all I have to do is slightly close the gaps on the corners the same way I did on the front, and she's ready for paint!!!!

[Dann Tier]

Now I have STRANGE news for everyone; after adding the styrene to fill the gap at the rear bumper/cowl, I began to sand, and noticed that I had sanded off ALL that I added!!, and that the bumper had slipped back to its factory contact spot on the belly pan........everything fit as it should!??!!, so now, scratching my head, I decided she's ready for paint. I also decided to add upper supports to the bumper since I don't trust the factory one. What came in handy for figuring where to put the braces, was the fact that the real car has a thin cover that bridges the drive axles, and this is how I did it. See reference photo...

Jeez Dann this ones going to a beast when its done. I'm more looking forward to seeing this finished than what I'm building myself at the moment

Thanks, Mark!!.......sorry about that, bud, lol

[Dann Tier]

managed to finally get all those little bits I made glued on, and the control arm supports fit perfectly!  Now I have to test fit the last two parts to make sure everything will fit before I paint.

[Ich_Will]

Wow. Just....wow. This is such an undertaking and an unbelievable level of detail. I look at stuff like this and I'm a little jealous of your skills, but at the same time it pushes me to do better work myself.
