1:24 458 italia GT

The below is another model from my early years in scale car modelling. In the previous days I decided to strip off the paint again and give this model another look. Let me share with you the photos in its early form:

The new project is to give an aggressive image to this cute Ferrari. Thus, I decided to create a new image for a 458 Italia GT designed for track racing. Below are pictures for my inspiration:

Nice save on the paint!
Ive never been a huge fan of the roof decal tho :)

The car looks good, I'm just putting the clear coat on my 458 of the same inspiration as yours

Mine is in yellow, still can't make my mind up to add a wing or not

Hopefully it will be in the completed section soon for you to see
