caabreu Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Hi guys, I am new at modeling cars as I am an aircraft modeler, well at least I have not done one for at least 40 years. I have started on the Revell Ferrari 612. I got as far as the engine and then I did not like some of my masking on the plenum so am doing it over again. I am posting my pics to hope to get some tips from you guys> Here are some photos of the engine OOB before I resprayed the plenum: I was not finished painting the red parts and that is why I started over on this part. Here is where I am now I am going to do the top end of the engine again. I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZTony8 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Your aircraft experience has put you in good stead.That's such clean painting you've done.I wish I could be that neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caabreu Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 I have gotten the engine complete. Also the body has been primered in Tamiya grey primer and wet sanded. I will give it a coat of white primer tomorrow as I am going to paint it red. Do you guys paint interior body things like headliner etc. before or after painting the exterior color?

Chillyb1 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I love this car! Can't wait to see more progress. I've built it three times and recall that it goes together really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennyboy Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 You are doing a great job on this so far Geoffrey! I love Ferrari's so of course I am riveted to this!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevjoh Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Looking absolutely fantastic so far, you may have to adjust the ride height, some of these Revell Ferraris; are inclined to sit a bit too heigh on the suspension, other than that they are great kits.

Custom Mike Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 (edited) Do you guys paint interior body things like headliner etc. before or after painting the exterior color? Geoffrey, I paint my headliners and any other areas that need to be painted in the interior after the body has been painted, it's usually the last thing I do prior to assembly of the body and chassis. Great job on the re-work of the top of the engine, it looks great! I would show you a picture of the engine in my 612, but it's not quite the same,,,, Edited September 11, 2014 by Custom Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peekay Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Very nice paint finishes and detailing on that engine. I think it's we who could use some tips from you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caabreu Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share Posted September 14, 2014 I got some color on it. It is my first time painting with a rattle can and it is a bit different than using an airbrush. It is not perfect or should I say I wish it came out a bit better, but I can live with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
