IJ001 Posted February 13, 2019 Posted February 13, 2019 Kia Ora folks - Been away from the forum for a while (apologies) so here's my last three finishes. Please feel free to ask any questions, Hurl any criticism or make any comments: AFN Ian.
89AKurt Posted February 13, 2019 Posted February 13, 2019 ... drive up to a gas station. Thought there was a joke here. These look really nice. The F40, that box stock, or you convert into a race car? The mesh looks good.

Ich_Will Posted February 13, 2019 Posted February 13, 2019 Love the F40 and the Nissan. The other Ferrari looks great but not my color. LOL That's as close as I can get to "hurling criticism"
Jim N Posted February 13, 2019 Posted February 13, 2019 All three look great! I particularly like your choice of color on the 2nd Ferrari.
IJ001 Posted February 13, 2019 Author Posted February 13, 2019 (edited) Thanks all, appreciate t he comments: So the F40, is obviously the Tamiya kit with kit decals. Great build but I was warned about the struggle to get the rear clamshell to sit neatly after the engine is fitted... yeah, it doesn't ! The 458 is NOT the fujimi kit, it's the RoG kit and at 16 Euros (US = $18.00) from a toy shop in Southern Germany last year - that's a h*ll of a value for money kit. Colour is Tamiya's new'ish TS95 'Pure Metallic Red' over black, which gives it that gorgeous burgundy tone. And the Nissan, is the great little Aoshima kit, with Tamiya Purple, Pearl Clear and (clear) Clear. The flecks of metal really pop under the New Zealand sunshine, but actually are so miniscule, that you have to hold the model an inch from your nose to see them !! More soon. Ian.
