Because some people think they gotta find something wrong Shayne...
I got alot done in the last few days off for New Years.
Here is a sample of the beautiful brake assemblies in the kit. They are so detailed..... I shot the rotors with Tamiya Metallic grey to simulate carbon material.
Engine is also far along...... A run down here:
Block was airbrushed Tamiya Flat aluminum at low PSI to get the "cast" look. Valve covers were treated with Krylon "Suede it" paint for texture, then primed White, sprayed bright red,followed by testors dullcoat. The heat shield and fuel rail is PE from the SMS kit. I added all the plug lines using protech wire. Look at the brake detail on the rotors!
The exhaust was heat stained very heavily using Tamiya gloss black out of the can, Alclad chrome, copper, pale gold and Tamiya clear acrylics... I also added the O2 sensor lines and plugs. The blue coolant lines were added as well using Protech hose and detailmaster hardline.
The air intake is very visible on the engine top and really sets the bay off. I was very careful to get it right. Again Krylon suede it was used for the texture followed by Krylon ultra flat black. Then the red ribs are PE pieces painted red provided in the SMS kit. Ferrari logos are metal transfers from the tamiya kit. I topped it off with a oil cap from sakastsu and BMF clamps.
Here it is in position.
more to come soon!
