Ferrari 250 GTO

Hello my name is Florin(Romania),this is my first post on this forums,i'm new in modeling(aprox 1 year) & my car:
Ferrari 250 Gto Fujimi

Hi welcome to the forum, nice build but there appears to be orange peels...you can try spray painting a few light coats rather than 1 heavy coat. Also using rubbing compound would help to eliminate the orange peel. nonetheless, effort 10/10. you can also try using a thin marker to detail the car, provided u have a steady hand :).

Hi, i'm new here too.

may i ask how did you paint the body by? airbrush or spray can?
you do primer layer before painting?

regards,

Hi,

But the paint looks like sanding paper :eek7:

No no!

i'll never laugh at any finished work from anyone here!
every model has something to learn from, perhaps you're in the master modelor grade i presume!?

this is my 34 years in modeling...i never dare to say i'm there yet.
perhaps you can show some of your works bro?

nice pic

No no!

I also do not laugh about other models...
Sometimes a "sanding paper look" comes from taking fotos (bad cam).

And i don't used an laughing smilie... ?!

Here is also a picture from my first two model...

Thank you all for advice and critics, and I 'm sorry that I ruined this model, the paint has orange peel effect think of two reasons: painted too remote and poor-quality primer, and might be another reason?

... and might be another reason?

There could be many reasons - one is for example to cold temprature, or not enough thinned paint. etc. etc...

I wouldnt say ruined. Its not always easy to get a good paint job on a model. I have been building for 26 years and have over 3,000 kits and still manage to ruin a paint job every now an then.

The model looks really good, Maybe just a careful color sanding and a coat of clear to smoth it out a bit. But it looks fine the way it is. Good job an keep building.

Thanks for the encouragement, and hope to learn from mistakes not repeat them,I decided to repeat everything over again, temporarily body is in brake fluid

That's a really good decision on your part. It is important to remember that as modelers we always have the opportunity to do things over. It is just a chance to learn from our mistakes.

I think you'll be happier with the results once you have repainted the body. I can't wait to see your progress on this one.

ok so you wanna redo the body again by stripping with brake fluid? fine, but always check the body after 1 day or so to see if everything is stripped. never soak in it for too long as some plastic may be attacked by the fluid. as long as you can take out those loose paint flaks with a used tooth brush you're good to go...

Today I checked and cleaned about 90% of the surface paint of the car, until now everything looks ok

Happy Holidays to all, after a washing period model in brake fluid and took it all over again (more than lasted until I found to buy white primer) I managed to finish the new layout, this time I think it came out and showed much better.

Congratulations: it looks perfect now!! All can be done trying it!

Looks at what you nailed though, it looks very cleanly built, not easy, and the window and headlight trim look flawless.
