Re: In Progress: Tamiya Ferrari F50

Very impressive, I wish I had the patience and skill to do this kind of work.

Guess that's the point of those clear view kits Tamiya sometimes puts out.
Funny you mention it, because Tamiya made the F50 as a Clear-View kit for a short time. My dad even built one, and I must say it's a stunning kit!

What can I say? I was planning to build one of these sometime this year, but now I don't know... I don't want to compare and find out I don't have half your skill!

Great model, great attention to detail, I love it!

Thank you for sharing it with us and for sharing your techniques!

Keep up the good work, I can't wait to see it finished!

Great pics. Looks like your build has got it all! Naked pics are awesome, I'm looking forward to seeing it all bolted together.

WOW!! Very impressive work. Already have one of these kits but was never really pleased the way it came out. I'm definitely gonna purchase another one and build it better. Your work is an inspiration!!!!

Re: In Progress: Tamiya Ferrari F50

this may have been answered in another thread somewhere but i dont remember, what do you use for the heat sheilding? a sticky aluminum foil type tape? I want to do window trim with it soon, i have no idea where to find it.

and yeah, gorgeous build. your decal mastery is amazing, along with the assembly. cant wait to see this in silver.

Re: In Progress: Tamiya Ferrari F50

I think he answered it here, I think it's just household aluminum foil wrinkled, then smoothed out with some glue applied to the back.

I can't believe I have missed this thread so far! I am totally in love. I look forward to seeing that step by step guide for painting the exhausts like you did.

Ansel, the heat shielding as, Partizan said, is plain aluminum foil applied with glue. It works great for large areas (if I ever decide to do a Delorean, this is how I'll do it!), but for window trim and the like, I'd use Bare Metal Foil. I've also tried several other brands, and not been happy with them.


SniperX13, I'll get to it, soon as the F50 is done. I may do it as a How To.

Porsche Carrera, T\/\/iN-Tu|2Bo- Looking forward to seeing it! Don't know why this kit doesn't get built more here- good fit, pretty well detailed, and you can make a decent looking model of it. If I were ever to do another, I think maybe I'd do it in metallic black....

I can of course tell you my two least favorite points about the kit: the rear grille mesh, and no masking seal for the windshield!
