Fiat Barchetta

Here's a new project from me.

The Fujimi Fiat Barchetta which will be a commissioned build for a client.







The owner already bought the Fujimi kit at Hiroboy:






Yeah I know, this is just a very very simplified kit. But the body does look correct and the main parts are there.

I ordered the correct paint Nero Seta and started on the body. After that I primered it.



I painted the Italian flag striping and after that I painted the Nero Seta color.



For the wheels I used a set from an other kit, but they didn't looked that good. So I asked the guys from USCP to print them for me. Meanwhile they are busy to make them.




I'm also awaiting for some companies to print the decals for this model. Otherwise it will be build without them.

Kris.

Re: Fiat Barchetta

It's been a while, but I have done a lot!

First I got the wheels from USCP. And they look nice! Very nice!





I also got the custom decals. They are very nice but a bit thick. They went on the model very smooth with a little help from Microsol.






And after a few layers of 2K clearcoat:




The interior is also finished. I used Vallejo paints. The seats are cutted with a knife.





And I completed the chassis.




Kris.

Re: Fiat Barchetta

And the Fiat is completed





















It's finally done now. It took much more time because of the decals and wheels that needed to be produced. After all I think the car looks exactly like the real car and that's what counts! The owner is very happy with the result, so mission accomplished I think!

Here's a short list of extra's I used:

- custom decals
- custom frontspoiler
- custom wheels (USCP)
- aluminium exhaust tips
- black interiorflocking
