Tamiya LaFerrari 1/24

I started this at the beginning of this year, and I really wanted to wrap this up by the end of the year. Hopefully with a WIP thread, it will give me more motivation to complete it. It will be out of the box build with Tamiya's carbon decals. It is red exterior with black side mirrors and gunmetal wheels. Thanks for checking it out. Here are some photos.

Initial test fit.


Filling gaps on door, it was a bit difficult.


Primed with Tamiya's fine gray primer.


Primed door.


Base color on. I made a mistake on the rear hatch, there are 2 more pieces that supposed to be glued on and gap filled, oh well...


Wheels done. Mistake here is I didn't strip the original chrome paint on the wheels, even after primer, the paint could easy chipped.


Seats done. It was sprayed with same red Tamiya spray paint as the exterior, and then flat cleared with Testors spray can lacquer. I will try adding seat belts later.


Test fitting doors with chassis.


Door interior, no carbon decals since no one can really see it.


Exterior parts decals applied and cleared.


Doors completed.


Rear hatch completed.


Test fitting after exterior parts almost completed.


Rear is not done.


Tamiya carbon decals for LaFerrari.


Started working on interior parts.


Engine almost complete.


Test fitting engine on chassis.


Front with carbon lip and mesh grill installed. Messed up here where I glued the carbon lip on the body, too much glue.


Another view of the front.


Engine part test fit but not glued.


Different carbon decal patterns on the fender.


Carbon decals half applied in interior. Need to clear after decals... lots of work


This part divides the engine bay and interior is done with carbon decals and cleared.


Still need to finish applying carbon decals and clear the carbon tub and dash pieces. The rear needs to apply carbon decals and clear as well. Still more work to be done, hopefully it will be completed soon.
