Bill Eh? Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I like the subject matter. Basically the painting appears okay, but it is kind of hard to tell. Is there any way to get some additional shots that are a bit more in focus. Nice to see you posting here. Bill Eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirage Posted August 5, 2011 Author Share Posted August 5, 2011 Yeah, apologies for the quality of the images. I took them with my Blackberry. I will use a proper didigtal camera when I am documenting the build of my SLS AMG. The Ferrari was only the second model I have ever done so the painting might leave a little to be desired in some parts. Thansk for the feedback Bill.

Mirage Posted August 7, 2011 Author Share Posted August 7, 2011 Hi guys. ajulia, the kit assembly was absolutely fine. The brake calipers ended up a little strange though. Although the rear calipers are meant to be opposite to the front ones, the only way i could fix mine on were facing the same direction. Other than that everything was fine. I had the usual heart stopping moments trying to fix the chassis onto the engine but i have found that tricky with both Revell models I have done. Tonio, I will definitely post some more pictures up. Let me use a proper digital camera to take them this time. Have fun building yours! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonioseven Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Thanks for the info! As soon as I figure out a color for mine, I'll get started on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
