This is a "speedbuild" wich almost completed in one day.
The kit is a Fujimi Fiat barchetta wich is built to replicate my own "Giallo ginestra" (Yellow barchetta)
It's a basic curbside kit built out of the box exept for the wheels. The body had a few small mould lines, but other than that it came together without any fit issues.
The car still needs some exterior details like mirrors, wipers, etc... and the interior detailing needs to be redone, because taking shortcuts did screw up the finish.
Since the body was moulded in orange I skipped the primer, and just lightly sanded the body to give the paint some grip. Painted with 4 layers of Tamiya acrylics yellow and topped with two layers of clear yellow to get the darker tint in the yellow color. 10 mins in the dehydrator between the layers.
The paint is very shiny, but yellow is almost impossible to paint without getting "orange peel". I forgot to sand between the base color and the clear so I guess I'll have to live with it on this car. But you cant see it unless you look very close or zoom in with a camera, so the car is looking great when sitting on the shelf.
The car also needs to be lowered, espescially in the front, and I'm not sure if the wheels are right.
Cute little car isn't it?
