MarcoTJ Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Starting my first WIP on this fórum with this Fujimi Ferrari. Although it's a small car, the kit has 237 parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcoTJ Posted March 23, 2021 Author Share Posted March 23, 2021 Started building the parts of the engine, chassis and axles. Then primed and painted with auto base coat. Metallic parts were first painted black then metal. This engine must have about 20 pieces to it. That's all for today!😊 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venom Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 (edited) Awesome! ... I will definitely be following this since I have the same model only it’s a cabriolet and it’s the enthusiast series. Looking to build it in the not too distant future. Edited March 23, 2021 by Venom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bainford Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Oh, very cool! I'm definitely watching this one. I love the little Dino. I've made three attempts to buy this kit, including bring straight-up ripped off by an ebay seller, but so far I haven't landed one. Currently have one on back-order at HobbyLink Japan, so fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Italianhorses Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Test fit a lot with this kit. Very problematic fit on some assemblies. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcoTJ Posted March 24, 2021 Author Share Posted March 24, 2021 Did some engine detailing. Got these nice accessories: added larger wire sleeves on the distribuir The red wire fits nicely More details On the other end I added a red sleeve. Also from a larger gauge wire I liked the effect Now I have to rest my eyes 😁😎😎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcoTJ Posted March 25, 2021 Author Share Posted March 25, 2021 Engine area almost done. First test fit succesful! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcoTJ Posted March 26, 2021 Author Share Posted March 26, 2021 Second round. Getting the cabin parts ready for painting. And made holes in the steering wheels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcoTJ Posted March 27, 2021 Author Share Posted March 27, 2021 Sanded the mold lines This one was ugly Got it off All the covers fit nicely. The whole body was sanded down to 1000 grit. I find this way best for primer anchoring. Tricky part. Stick it and covered the gap with superglue. Did the same on the front 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcoTJ Posted March 27, 2021 Author Share Posted March 27, 2021 Sanded down the superglue. Looks good. Washed the kit to remove the dust and residues. Ready for priming! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcoTJ Posted March 28, 2021 Author Share Posted March 28, 2021 2k primer time. I love the way this primer goes on. Still some sanding to do. Stubborn mold lines. Primer reveals everything. But that's OK. Better see these lines now than after the paint.😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dann Tier Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Looks like a nice filler primer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
