Looking awesome so far. Paint looks great already. Those photos do make it appear like you've flooded it with paint though, but I think that's just the photos. Waiting to see some more :smile: .

yes it just the photos and also the light.. I am very happy with myself on the caot, it turned out great :)

update,

I waited a few days for the paint to dry then i started decaling http://www.f1m.com/classic/modules/PNphpBB2/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif, i am very very happy with the outcome , its very hard to get a good picture of it...
Well here we go!

The red looks excellent. Are you going to clear over the decals? (not saying you should btw, just curious)

thanks, yes i am going to clear over the decals, i always do but i ran out of clear so i have to go get some :)

finally another update... sorry i have been very busy...

i have the undertray sprayed and the back wing primed and ready for paint

http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff302/F1FerrariFan/DSCN3429a.jpg

quick update, back wing finished and front wing almost done..
http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff302/F1FerrariFan/DSCN3522a.jpg

Looking very good.

Every time I see those 1/43 builds, I am amazed at the amount of detail in those kits.
I have several of them lying around here, but still not had the guts to start one. Your build makes me want to start one soon. You make it look easy indeed...

Already looking forward to the finished kit !

This is the last update i will be posting before i finish it...
Anyway i hope you enjoy these pics http://www.f1m.com/main/forum/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif, even tho they were taken with the crappy camara... Thanks Guys!!!!

P.S the back wing is NOT glued on yet, its just there for show.

I have to spray the bargeboards and finish the front wing, then do back suspension then i am pretty much done
