I clicked on the this thread knowing I was going to see a beautiful build, and get depressed with what I build , and I was not let down

Very nice job

[jon halt]

Truth. lol

[slusher]

Wow, thats is so sharp and great finish on the white. What brand paint did you use???

[Volvoman]

My all time favourite supercar, built beautifully nice and clean. I have both this and the spyder to build, if I can achieve a build half as good as yours I will be happy.

I also have an R8 on the bench with planned detailing that might be a touch over my head and I hope it turns out half as well as yours too! Excellent job on the paint!

[WizPorsche944]

Very nice build. To everyone who has built an R8.... Do you paint the black part of the body first with spray or is that part easier to brush paint ?

[IMSANUT]

Very nice! Looks good in white too.

Very nice paintwork and photography...It looks just like the 1:1...

[Olskoolrodder]

NICE!

Hi!

Thanks for your comments, i'm glad you like it!

Carl, in this case I used tamiya primer+Ts-26 (pure white)+Ts-13 (clear). All straight from the can. polished and waxed.

Walter, the black part is carbon fiber decal from Scalemotorsports

Have nice day!

i know this is an old thread but i searched R8 on the forum. I was wondering how you got the black lines in the creases of the doors and panels. looks too clean and precise for a wash or even brushwork. is it some kind of pen?

[Tonioseven]

Terrific work!!!

[jaydar]

I am glad this was resurrected. It is a fine build. Clean!

Hi Sam! i deepened the panel lines using an scriber, then black wash, and polished the excess.

That is a nice build. I like the color.

I just saw one of these on the road a while back. We were next to each other in heavy traffic. It's a beautiful car in person. The one I saw was silver. That same day I saw this kit in Hobby Lobby. I got something else that day, but still need to pick this one up.

Was the kit a pretty smooth build?

The kit has a problem when you put together the body and the chasis. Ia had to trim the back wheel arches that are attached to the chasis in order to achieve a nice fit.

Everything else is great, te interiors had very very nice details.

[508boricua]

Incredible build!! amazing detail, awesome!!

[dmk]

The interior looks beautiful!

Thanks for the details about the kit.

[Taxdude]

Very nice, is it all box stock or did you use and after market detail sets?

Hi Fred,

The extras in this model are:

-scratch bulit the disc brakes (didn't like the kit's discs)

-scratch front lights (they where solid, so i removed and replaced with transparent sprue, sanded and polished)

-Flocking

-Carbon fiber decals for the side panels.

I thinj thats all; no photoetched set used. Thanks for your comment Fred, and everybody else!!!
