~Ferrari 360 Modena~

Sup everyone. This will be my second model kit. The first one was a civic but it did not turn out so well. I hope this one does. Its a Revell Ferrari 360 Modena.

Couple Questions
1. How is this kit? Is it pretty good to build or very difficult, i was going to get the enzo but it had more than double the number of pieces.
2. I have not bought the paint yet. Do you think i should buy an cheap airbrush or go with the spray can? I want a black w/ red interior or maybe a blue w/ cream or tan interior.
3. About the sanding, do i sand before everything else? I went to michaels today and all they had was 60, 100, and 150 level sand paper. on here i see people talkin bout 1000, 800 ect. whats taht?

hmm. i dont know if i should open it now, i didnt know it was a spyder. i must have grabbed the wrong box today.

well i suggest you buy a badger 200 or 150 model airbrush, its good quality and it will last a long time, dont buy a cheap airbrush, that will only frustrate you, i also suggest that since you only on your second kit, you may want to use acrylic paints, they are very easy to clean and they leave great interior and engine finishes, however you can paint the body with an acrylic color, then use future floor wax as a clear coat, it leaves a great shine and it is easy to clean up in your airbrush, regarding your sand paper question, dont use any grit below 600 in my opinion, you can get good sand paper at walmart for a cheap price in grits that range from 800-2000, i hope this helps, you should also check the tutorial section btw

Thanks for the reply. So i guess ill retrun the sand paper i got and cop some at walmart.

Ive been very busy looking for a new job so i havent gotten a chance to start it yet. I am doing a gloss black exterior with a black and red interior. I will probaly get some rims too. any suggestions on which ones would look good?

quick question. i sanded down the mold lines on the body. im gonna start painting the engine parts. have any of you used those tester(sp) paint markers before? Are they good?
Thanks

yes they are decent and helpful, but see if they have fine point paint markers

im pretty much done with the kit except for the final paint and the decals. i painted the body with flat black as a base coat and im gonna go over it with light gunmetal. ill post pics when i get a chance.
