Here is my second build for AF 60th anyversary

Bought this one because I couldn't wait for Fujimi and judgeing from the pictures I should have waited .
But I will try to do my best to make it look at least like something.

Body is sanded first then I fitted front hood that was not fitting well (panels were not same all the way) and glued "c" pilars which go to deep compareing to roof line and have terible holes where they meet the fenders (every one who has Revell kit know what I am talking about )

So everything was fittet, putied and reprimed just to find terible dent in front hood, so putty again and reprimeing.

Then I sanded all with CM's sanding sticks and applyed 5-6 coats of Hiroboy's fabulous Zero Ferrari black.

Now this is how it all looks, sorry for not takeing more pictures of process, I was lazy







And now I am in dilema, since we all know how bad Revell wheels are, i will not spend the words on them.
But I have dilema, which ones + Pegasus sleeves (wheels in jet exhaust from Alclad)?





meanwhile I applyed clear coat, I used laquer ready to use from Hiroboy and it is realy good, a little polishing and it will be fantastic.





Now of to chasis/interior it will be red/carbon combo.

hey lazy guy LOL it seem fantastic but not with both those rims, they're speaking japanese! I'm using the 5 spokes Ztune rims(and tyres) on my 360 and they're fantastic and "5 spoke ferrarist", and more they allow to see a lot of carboceramic stuff under: they sell also as aftermarket goods (w/out wheels but I guess pegasus rubbers should be oki)

I also bought the ready clear laquer from Steve, cant wait to have in hand and try (there's an orange gallardo waiting for it )

edit: forgot: how a romantic guy that shoot his lovely cleared girl under the sunshine!!! LOL

Looks great in black. I saw a 1:1 red one at the Ferrari dealership in Miami. I'll take one

Great work on the paint... one could fall in love with those dawn pics.
Rims are your rightful choice in the end but to me they seem a little out of concept, perhaps too japanese as said before.

Hi Sasa,

you sure have a nice and empty parking lot in front of your house. Maybe you should collect 1:1 cars ;-)

Nice paint BTW...should look beautiful once polished!

Cheers

Sorry Tang, my face in the early dawn errrrr, i don't think so
I promise Monday, I realy do
Rodrigo and Gio you got me thinking now, darn, to many choices , must dig through scrap box, maybe I will find something, but I am just waiting for the sleeves then I can mesure.
Isn't it nice to live in a building that has so much place to park the cars
Thanks Rob
Now I remembered what do you guys think about something like this in red sleeves, I have F50 in scrap box.

Managed to sand and polish the body, took a little more then I expected but not to bad in the end.





In the mean time I made chassis to see the fit of the wheels and just a reminder for all of you that will start this kit, watch out for ride hight, it is way to high and try to remake it before you glue everything on the chasis because once instaled it is realy hard to change it.

Superb shine Sasa.

I'll try mine, and I would like to heard something from Steve (the UK one, ok the really UK one LOL) about this laquer, expected performance over time (go yellow?) and so.

Few things I could say about this one compared to 2K one.

1. this one is much easier to apply
2. this one is tricky when applying easily, overspray is very sticky and dries instantly so you have to be carefull with mist coats.
3. shine with this one is almost instant and even if you don't polish it, it will look good (so excelent for begginers)
4. 2K is harder
5. 2K gives deaper shine
6. 2K is more forgiving with bigger grit at sanding

I didn't try this one on decals so can't realy comment on that but I will try it with some CF just to be sure, I think that this one will be excelent for smaller parts and CF parts but I think I will stick to 2K for bodies or if I will be lazy I will use this one
