So i sanded everything down and sprayed another colour , same colour as the lambo. While actually planning on how to fix this f430 , i discuss with a friend on this green which i had in mind. Came to a conclusion that if i did this colour , It was either "God that colour doesnt fit a Ferrari , Sucks!" or "Wow" u get the idea ~!

Here is it.. i hope it isnt crappy...
Had abit of work to do here once again...

My modelling skills are not up to standard still noobish.. so go easy on me :frown:

can't really tell from photos if it's the kit or you but the paint looks a bit thick. Some of the lines seem to be a touch "flooded" and the panel lines aren't as sharp as they can be.

It turned out very nice. paint looks fine.

Looks superb! That colour is certainly unique. :D

hi Gamerxz,nice to see you show your power again~~~:naughty: the color is really unique,maybe not that ferrari but you like it that's enough~but i have to agree with Drunken Monkey that the paint is too thick,i wonder if you didn't clean up the original paint and straight start new coats on it?

D - monkey :P & Auw12 : Yeap ... its actually me... i didnt strip the paint , i just sanded down until it was a smooth surface and sprayed on the new colour. Some of the lines are almost flooded till they are gone. i did rescribe some of the lines.

Thanks to the other two guys , G-man and skyline for their positive responses :)

Work done on the rims , sprayed them gloss black . Almost the wing mirrors are almost done.

More interesting pictures soon .. the engine is almost done as well...

Whoa! I love the rims. I'm just waiting on the engine pics now, lol.

WHOA! Looks awesome! Now throw some Kranze's LXZ's on it! :naughty:

Yeah, this definitely looks cool now! The black rims just set it off. And so what if you got a little flooding in the panel lines... It still looks boss. :)

put aside the thick paint,the rest of the model is really AWESOME!the wheels perfectly fits the style~~keep up the good work!

Wow you did one of the best jobs i've seen (I havn't seen many but thats ok :D) thats really nice though great job keep it up and please go check out my thread on the graphic manipulation page.

Hi Gamerxz,

Really admire how you mended this mishap.

I would ususally get this problem when i take a normal jar X-22 Tamiya clear colour and mix it with tamiya thinner and apply on the model with airbrush.

The coat seems to be strong and completely dry, but once you apply masking tape on it, the whole paint just molded to the masking tape and ruins the model.

I have solved this problem by using tamiya TS-13 Spray can - excellent, dependable and quickly drying stuff.

I have a quick question for you; which paint did you use for the initial pale blue coat on the model????????????????????????

which paint did you use for the initial pale blue coat on the model????????????????????????

Light metallic blue :evillol:

is it a tamiya paint??? spray can???

if so, can you tell me the number of this paint.

Thanks

Opps i made a mistake... its actually light pearl blue (TS-58)

gamerxz, you the best...Thanks

i have got an ordinary 360 modena, that just begs for this coat

Thank you once again.
