No problem. Its very nice, the tranny looks as if it were the real thing. The attention to color, and detail is amazing.

I am also building a large scale model, except from scratch. I hope mine is at least half as detailed as yours! Check it out, link is in my sig.

Thanks man, when I build my brakes I am using your pictures as a reference as they are built so well.

I just looked through all the pics, the brakes look magnificent. Excellent job. Same with the wheels. Did you have to paint the body? Or was it pre-painted/powdercoated? Sorry, I cant remember that far back into the build .

hehe no prob. the body was pre-painted. however, they did such a magnificent job *sarcasm*... there's orange peel everywhere, not to mention flaws in the mold anyway, so i am going to paint it myself. i'll work on the body gallery today.

Will you be using the Ferrari Speicified paint (I forgot the brand of it)?

[SupercarFreak]
