F40 & Nismo Skyline R33 *warning lots of pics*

The Ferrari was my first model EVER! I started it last june and finished it in 4 weeks...I think it came out pretty nice, if you don't mind me saying so .
The Kure was next. It took me about the same time..3-4 weeks. And I tried some things on this one..I added the automatic fire extinguisher and some air lines to the hydraulic jacks..I'd really like to hear your opinion on both..










Enjoy (or not..)

Very very nice! May I ask what you used for a paint color on the exhaust of the Skyline?
Really nice work!

thanks for your comment. please do notice these are only my 2 first models ever.....
I only use Tamiya acrylics, and if I recall, the exhaust is X-9 (brown) or XF-10 (flat brown). I'm not really sure.


Edit - I just confirmed that, and it is X9..

I'm really sorry about that, I don't know what happened...It was working fine until yesterday....
I think the problem is where I upload the pics....www.villagephotos.com

Do you guys know of any free site where I can upload my pics to?

Thanks, and once again, i'm sorry

At least I can see the pictures, and the cars look really nice. The Skyline is a bit interesting with that "half engine", which is detailed only from the bottom... I guess, the hood doesn't open.

But really good job, especially the chassis of the skyline looks nice, and I also like those tubes and wires in the cockpit of the Nissan, and the Ferrari is not bad at all, I might even get that kit too, looks so nice. Was it built "just from the box" or did you do any special detailing?

As the F40 was my first model, I didn't have any experience, so I didn't want to add anything that could ruin it, you know what I mean? It's completely box stock, apart from some detail painting.
And yes, the Nissan is a curbside kit...
