Bryce Posted May 27, 2010 Posted May 27, 2010 This is a Tamiya kit built straight out of the box. I painted it ‘windsor’ blue auto lacquer from a rattle can. I wasn’t a big fan of the body colour headlight buckets, so gave them a lick of Alclad over flat black for a brushed metal look. My only major gripe with this kit was the lack of seat backs. I was also a little disappointed with the limited amount of travel in the engine cover hinge. Makes it very difficult to get a look at the engine in the finished model. I probably would have ditched the hinges or made some new ones if I’d known beforehand. I also reckon it wouldn’t be too much to ask for some chrome plated headlight and taillight buckets. I backed mine with kitchen foil in order to get some kind of reflection – they would be pretty dull with nothing behind them. They didn’t supply any number plate decals either – rather annoying!
kyledr330 Posted May 27, 2010 Posted May 27, 2010 What a great looking color! I love it! Now I may have to go get this kit now. This one Ferrari I do not have in my collection, thanks for the good pictures also.
John E. Bowers Jr. Posted May 27, 2010 Posted May 27, 2010 I would have to shout that "you nailed this one". I have this kit in the stash waiting for me to get to, but after seeing this one it might not have to wait too long.
Foxer Posted May 27, 2010 Posted May 27, 2010 That paint loves that body! The headlight treatment looks right .. and the cleanliness of the whole build looks right too!
janositamas Posted May 27, 2010 Posted May 27, 2010 She looks beautiful, nice job, the body and interior color suit the car well, also nice shine!
RodneyBad Posted May 28, 2010 Posted May 28, 2010 I just can't get over how great the paint looks on it. Looks Awesome. Great work..
