Re: Ferrari Superamerica

Thanks for your tip Tompidom! I really hadn't noticed the gap while I was dryfitting interior to the body. I did notice something isn't right where it's supposed to be but I thought that I overlooked a part in the kit that could put it right.
So I took a closer look at the whole kit and also noticed that there isn't any panel lining on the front and the rear. A few strokes here and there with a PE modelling saw sorted it out. There is a Tamiya's botteled primer applied with a brush to fix the minor scratches. I also made panels for the "headlight cleaners":

And here is how I solved the dashboard gap. It took a few minutes to file it a bit so that the console sat on it's place. The reference:

Because I want to have an EU version of SA, I also had to make the turning indicators. A clear sprue inside of dremel and a scalpel plus PE saw helped me out on this one. I'm thinking of doing the same thing with an orange sprue I had left from Lexus IS350.


These small things are inside of a 10 by 10mm square and they don't look very accurate but it's good enough for me although I might work on some new pieces:


Thanks for watching!
