Hi

Great! This is a thread for me!

Sascha

Always enjoy seeing your builds and always liked the LeMans Audis!

Jordan

One of my favourite racers of modern times.
Does anyone know if another manufacturer produced this car? I thought Revell made one. I would like an R8 to go with the R10 I made but not ready to spend for this kit.

Excellent! Will enjoy watching this.

Several years ago I tried to build (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=908441&highlight=audi) their LM 2000 kit during the race weekend. I didn't quite make it but had a lot of fun trying :)

My memories of the kit are very good.

Another kit on progress... you don't waste time in thinking another projects!!!
I'm here to follow you!!

Nice interior.

Great start and a big favourite of mine. The kit looks so well molded.

Looking great so far. Did the 2000 winner a few years ago and it went together really well. Wish LMM would get back to making kits again.

Mike

Thanks for your messages!

@Specie: I really don't know if there are other manufacturers for this model.

I applied the carbon fiber decal in the front wing but don't know if it must be semi-gloss or gloss. I looked at many pictures but don't have a conclusion. Any help?

Right now it's semi-gloss

Thanks Dave!

A friend sent me a picture of another R8, it's semi-gloss:

Lovely looking build of a true classic. Very nice work.

This is a very nice model!
I have a question: how did you realize the black lines between panels?
They looks very realistic :iceslolan.

I know that there are sone techniques used in aircraft model like "pre-shading" or "post-shading" but they have to be very difficult to realize.
Thank you in advance :smile:

I do the wash using tamiya x18 and a very thin brush

Ok, Thank you for the answer!:smile:

Stunning job..I love how well you masked off the red sections, overall superb execution.

Fantastic model.
