Bennyg Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 Hi fellas. My current project. The colour I plan to do is yellow with black stripes and wheels. Red brake calibers and interior accents. Cheers
Peter Lombardo Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 Nice.......... it appears that some of the joints don't fit that well, is that the case, or are you just eliminated any body seam? I have a couple of these on order and it appears to me that there are many sections to the body, where the Revell Racing version has cut it down to just two sections. I will be curious, as you proceed, to see if there are any uncharacteristic issues with the Tamiya kit. Good start, keep it going.

I’m just eliminating the seams not on the real car. I understand why Tamiya moulded it in such a way. Even the LaFerrari is moulded with similar things. So far so good. Cheers Ben
Funkychiken Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 That yellow version with those plates has spent some time at my work place, I work at Dunton technical centre in the UK, I've seen it do a few hard rounds on our track. It's a lovely car in the flesh. Good luck on your build!
martin9428 Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 I too am building this kit and just fitting the body pieces. The fit and finish is near perfect. I don't mind the seams so, I won't bother.
MrObsessive Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 Now THIS is an attention grabber! I mentioned in another thread that I didn't care for the car's looks at first, but I REALLY like this! I might just break down and grab one of these down the road now after seeing this BEAUTIFUL color!
gijoe Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 You guys are making me want to pick up this kit. I think the yellow works well on this car! I'm excited to see how this progresses.
Belugawrx Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 Ditto on the interior.. nice masking and paint work
Madhatter Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 Great looking interior. That leather looks real in some of those pics.
Hotrod 97 Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 Nice job on the interior! I look forward to more updates on this build.
martinfan5 Posted May 2, 2019 Posted May 2, 2019 You are not done with this one yet Ben? , nah seriously though, that is very nice work on the interior.
