Brendan Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 The kit is from Studio 27. Very nice kit. Though it did lack interior detail. The paint is a 3-step system. Laid down a pink of my own mix followed by Tamiya's TS-49 (airbrushed); then TS-36 (airbrushed). Decals were applied. Shot Tamiya's Clear over the top. Did have some issues with the kit that you can see in the On the Workbench Section. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=16177 Feel free to comment. Had fun building the kit. This next picture is for Nick since he's such a Ferrari fan, I had to rub it in a little bit since I'm a Porsche fan. The Ferrari qualified on pole for the '07 LeMans but the Porcshe ended up winning the class.
crispy Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 Brendan, Absolutely fantastic build. Great work. Your paint impresses me as far as your mix of pink primer. Looks like Studio 27 could add a little more opaqueness to the white number decal. Always fun to see your builds! Chris
Raul_Perez Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 Very nice, Brendan!! It looks like you'll have quite a few builds for the show in March!! See you there!!

As for the white not being opaque enough, it actually is quite white. It's a reflection coming off the model from the light and making the white look red. It was actually one of the problems with the decals in that they were too thick and had a tendency to crack. Among the many other problems I had with the decals. The red almost hurts my eyes when I look at it now. It almost glows in the dark. Edited January 12, 2009 by Brendan
Nick F40 Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 (edited) It's beautiful, of course, you already know that, surprised that i'm not the first one to post? This next picture is for Nick since he's such a Ferrari fan, I had to rub it in a little bit since I'm a Porsche fan. The Ferrari qualified on pole for the '07 LeMans but the Porcshe ended up winning the class. No 2008 results? Yeah yeah, they'll prevail! I feel honored. :)That's a great looking couple, they were made for each other, to compete. See you and I get along, that's just how it is. Hey, I might be a huge Ferrari fan but I love my Porsche's, but the sound of the race cars and when it comes to racing, classic battles and I like to have a freindly competition with CAL about it Ijust wonder how they will handle now that the arse end went from about 13 feet wide to 10. Man, we got nothing to root for in Rolex, I think there may be a couple Ferrari's and Porsche's. GO SPEEDSOURCE! I wish we could see the FIA GT....or the IRC Edited January 13, 2009 by Nick F40
hossalimi Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 Hi Brendan, Great work buddy!! Sorry I haven't been around to check out everyone's latest and greatest. I am looking forward to seeing all your new work at the NNL. Hossain
Bernard Kron Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 Gorgeous as usual. I always enjoy your builds because they showcase what great paint and decals can to for a model.
ismaelg Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 Great job as usual! That is the brightest red I've seen. Must be even more impressive in person. Thanks,
