Aoshima - Pagani Huayra - 1/24

[Rob-]

Hi there, So this is my first post over here. hope you like this ?✌️

This is my current build. I'm using zeropaints for most of the builds, carbon fiber sheet from tamiya Code 12681 and 12682 and also i both the full upgrade by hobby desgin.

The idea of this project is the car id displayed on a stand and tires will not be attached. Starting with some modification on the cooling disc brakes system of the Pagani.

I kinda work for the person that owns this one. Love that car. IT looks black until you get right up on it. IT color shifts in the light. Black, purple, and blues. Awesome machine. Much better than the black Bugatti he had before this one.

found Tamiya carbon fiber very easy to apply and i love the end result.

Lacquer from Gravity colors.

Welcome to the group! I love this car/kit!....I built mine a year or so ago, and Uber detailed it, but i didnt bother with fixing the wheel hubs as you are doing here...they wouldnt really be seen on mine, but this is my kind of detailing!!!

[Rob-]

Thanks Dann, yes infect i saw your post and that's what inspired me to sign up to this forum. Really loved the way you scratch build the locks. Hope fully when i get there, i'll try to do something like that too.

Wow, this is looking amazing so far, I followed Dann's build, and will follow this one too, enjoy and keep posting!

Fantastic work so far. You are really going the extra mile with this build. The kit is one of the best engineered I've seen and it deserves the extra work you're putting in. I'll be watching with interest.

Front bracket ready and also i added a bit of scratch build. Also front part is ready and CF is fixed. Next, Seats and leather effect. Using zero paints saddle tan and raw umber oil paint.

What are those red wires sticking out of brake calipers?

I have this in my stash, with the detail parts.  Look forward to watching your build.  Already impressed with the arbor for the brake disks, and carbon-fiber work.

Got this in my stash, so will watch this build with interest 

[Dann Tier]

Looking Great!!!....are your brakes attached perminantly?...i only ask, because the calipers are on the wrong sides.

Yes true in fact i fixed them. thank you for pointing it out Dann.

Well this were i was swearing most with this f$%"£ carbon. But yes i love the out come. Found the tamiya carbon decals very easy to use compared to other brand. Also i used some masking tape to create a template. will let it to dry for few days and lacquer will be sprayed.
