MrMike9101 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 (edited) Hi everyone, For the first time in about a year I'm starting a new kit. This is also the first time I am posting on a forum, so keep that in mind. I got myself the full engine kit of the Veneno (very hard and expensive to come by in Germany) My hopes are maybe a few tips, a few people who like to stick around and maybe someone I can talk model stuff with My skills are rusty and never been a pro. The kit will be hand-printed...no spray cans or airbrush (no location) Edited November 17, 2018 by MrMike9101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89AKurt Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Welcome! You are taking on an ambitious project out of the gate! What do you mean by "full engine kit"? I see there seems to be a Fujimi kit with engine as an option. I ask because I have bought other brand engines for kits that never had a full engine. Several on eBay for whoever is interested. https://www.ebay.com/p/Fujimi-Models-125978-1-24-Lamborghini-Veneno-DX-W-pe-Parts-Model-Kit/1051934649 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMike9101 Posted November 16, 2018 Author Share Posted November 16, 2018 Yeah, I have seen the instructions and the body...it's going to be very tough with all the separate parts and hard edges. In the picture is part of the engine. As far as I know the standard kit has a one piece tub with parts of the engine moulded itno it. That's what I meant with full engine. Started work on it and the brakes. They look really nice (just from the front)… first time I know of a manufacturer making the calipers that detailed and realistically sized!

89AKurt Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Thank you for the clarification. I wish you the best, and hope you have patience stashed somewhere. Doing all those edges in red will be fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMike9101 Posted November 16, 2018 Author Share Posted November 16, 2018 I'm not sure about the colours I'm going to use. Still deciding. All I know is, that it's not going to be silver/gray with red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funkychiken Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Good luck with this kit! It will be less hassle painting by hand! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMike9101 Posted November 17, 2018 Author Share Posted November 17, 2018 You have to paint a lot of the body parts separately and glue them painted. Otherwise you'll have so many hard or impossible spots. Hope when I get that far into the build it all turns out fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dann Tier Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 These kits, and a lot of Aoshimas have what I like to call; a 3/4 engine, having just enough parts that if detailed with paint, wire, and hoses, can actually look pretty real.

Italianhorses Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Wow, Revell still makes those tins? I really hope you reconsider at least spraying the body. Don't know if you will be able to achieve good finish by brush painting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMike9101 Posted November 23, 2018 Author Share Posted November 23, 2018 These things are super fragile...just getting them out and cutting the rough edges broke 2... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
