Ferrari 348ts - Sorry...Resale Red

Picked this Fujimi/MRC kit up on eBay for $4. So far it seems like a great little kit. For an old kit, there's a fair amount of detail and the tires are really nice. Just a quick OOB build.

Rims were painted with a combination of XF-56 and X-11. Nuts were picked out with model master silver chrome.

Comparison pic of TS-8 to duplicolor Bright Red. The 348 had a silver base to try and brighten it up a little. This paint job has been a real pain in the ass, but I'm determined to make something of it. I would really like to find a cheaper more abundant replacement for TS-8, but I just haven't found it yet. I'm going to try krylon fusion red and see if that is closer.
