I'd start the SL65 AMG black series , that is one of the kits I want to get next and I'd think it would be great if I see your buildup of the kit

Was kind of thinking that one too, what I can tell, its a nice kit, but costly, I paid $45 for it plus shipping from japan.

Semi mockup after primer

The Lambo's looking great , they still attract my eye more than any modern supercar does ....

Huge thankyou to Paul , the wheels arrived safely today and are perfect . Hopefully tomorrow the weather will be kind and I'll get a chance to paint and fit them and the FJ will be done .

[maltsr]

No worries Ian, glad to help out Looking forward to seeing the result!

[martinfan5]

The Lambo is looking good

[Haubenschild]

The Countach has been sprayed with 3 mist coats and 1 wet coat of Tamiya Park green , more wet coats will be sprayed tommorow

[sports850]

WOW , I wasn't expecting that colour but it looks cool , is it going to be solid colour or are there highlights planned ? I was only just thinking of what colour I'd paint one after your last post but never thought of a minty green like that (just looked back at your photo's and see the can of green paint sitting behind it , how did I miss that ) .

[martinfan5]

Looking good , I wasnt expecting that color choice either, but I think its going to look great

x3! but it works! and the engine looks awesome too.

My model club is having a non-V8 night on Thursday, so hoping my Alfa will be finished. Done lots of decaling and clearcoaring with Future as per the instructions, here's how it looks now:

[sports850]

Looks great Paul , that's a really nice shine

[martinfan5]

I agree, very nice, its coming along nicely

[Haubenschild]

That Alfa is looks stunning paul!

[martinfan5]

So I have got the red back on the R34 , but of course, I can not win, I had great luck with the masking, only a few very small areas did I have bleed thru, but I guess waiting a week wasnt long enough, as the white now has residue from the masking.

[Scuderia]

Tough break on the paint jon. Keep at it, it'll work out. Did more on the 458 Got the wheels on. And doing some basics on interior. 512TR is pissing me off can't get the body to sit on the chassis all the way down.

[martinfan5]

I think what I am going to do is after I get the black on, I am going to do one more coat of white.

I picked myself up a 458 kit to replace my glue bomb one, I wont say how my much I paid for at Michaels today , I wont be doing the build in here since Lawrence is doing his.

Lawrence , sorry to hear the 512 is giving you problems, it must be a Ferrari thing, I have problems with all Ferrari kits and getting the chassis and bodys to fit right
