Nice choice, any idea what colour the body is going to be? Can't wait to see more.

yeah, its going to be a green metalic. i know, not a normal ferrari color, but my wife picked it out :licka:

Love the color.

You should try some primer; it would help with a more uniform appearance of your paint.

lol, thats the sad part, it does have a couple coats of white primer. but, i think the problem, is that i relized that the paint was a 'transparent' green metalic. doh!:banghead:
so i'm going to spray the interior black and see if it helps with the white showing through.
thanks for the comments.

What kind of weathering did you try? Not to be rude, but it looks like a lot of salt corrosion.

well, its really only a mixture of black wash and some darker grey/steel/black, on different ares. if you look at my other models ive done, they all have the same technique. i may just touch up this one.

Try to use watercolors for weathering, ive found it works great!!

ok here's a bit of an update on the interior
