Ferrari 365 GTB/4 'Daytona'

[The Creative Explorer]

Hi all,

Thanks for looking at my newest, it is the Ferrari 365 GTB/4 12 cilinder front-engined supercar. I used the kit from Fujimi from the famous Enthusiast series.

That series is just marvelous, I love them. Much detail has been added and while I am a beginner, I am pleased with the progress I have made with my skills. Although I see a lot to improve, the learning-curve is steep, but it takes time.

Please drop me a line with your comment and (supported) criticism.

Beautiful car and you did it justice. I'm still scared of the EM kits, but have them and when I feel ready will dive into one.

Erik, the only thing I have to comment about though are the panel lines. To me they look a little dark. Other than that I think it looks great!

I believe yours is the first I have seen with the exposed headlights. Most of the time they are left as the flip ups. That sets it apart for sure.

Again, Great Job!

You know I love it!

I think you did a great job on this one especially under the hood! in regards to the dark panel lines,try using the same color you use on the body darkened with a drop or two of black. keep showing us what you're up too!

Thanks so much guys, I am flattered!

I do agree on the panel lines, I always use a marker, but my marker was gone and I used one which is to thick, so it didn't come out really nice. I bought a new marker yesterday and see how that will go

Very nicely done on the Ferrari. Motor nicely detailed and wired, along with the heat shielding under the hood. I am with Chris, though, in that the panel lines are a little too dark. That's an area I often have problems with. I'm always worried I'm going to mess up the finish.

There is a real good article at Italianhorses.com on how to do panel lines.

Thanks, I will try to find that article and see if I can learn something from it.

Erik, This is beautiful! I like the clear covers over the headlights. I assume you scratch built the headlight areas.
