Oooooh, that creamy off white looks SO good on that body. What color/paint is that?

[Pierre Rivard]

They both look very very good. I hope you will post more updates. I have been wondering about FPPM kits so looking forward to your impressions on this one.

The color is a mix of tamiya lacquer paints white and racing white.  I believe I settled on 50/50 mix.  Then thinned 50/50 with lacquer thinner. (Mr hobby leveling thinner) Sprayed several coats followed by airbrushed tamiya clear lacquer.  The tamiya bottled lacquer paints are great.  I am new to airbrushing and they go in super smooth.  Much better than spray cans. You can order on Amazon if your local hobby shop doesn’t carry.

Glad to see non-red Ferrari!  They both look great!  The off white has the classic feel, I like it!
