Ferrari FXX Tamiya 1/24

I'm currently building this FXX together with Lotus 72E from Studio 27 but I decided to put more focus on Ferrari. Model have some details under the front hood but it's not meant to be open so I decided to do it.

Scratched air intake, few profiles, water bag and added two air ducts for brake cooling. I will also add few parts under the air intake and wires.

Nice start!

Great start. Its a fun kit to build.

Here is some progress, two steps forward one step backward. Model is a bit older and one decal for interior fall apart so now I'm trying to get new ones from Tamiya dealers because I couldn't find any on Ebay. I've notticed that I should use different CF pattern but it was a bit too late so I will leave it how it is.


On few parts I did use black marker to mark CF decal pattern. Everything went fine until I cleared them with Zero 1K clearcoat and marker did show up through the decal. After that I did some testing and it seems like Zero 2K clearcoat is safe for this. I stripped these parts and did whole process again.
