Re: Tamiya 1/24 360 modena
alright, well when your sanding, you'll know your done when the part your sanding is either smooth, or gone if your trying to get rid of something. make sure it is VERY smooth. When your glueing, use small amounts to save you from spills, blotches, and runs. Since your waiting for your materials, read over the instructions well so you know what your doing when it comes. Hope that helps

You can start building the engine while waiting for the sand papers.
If I were you, I would start spraying the the body with white primer and later sand it to give it a smooth surface. But again you have to wait, so I think starting on the engine is a wise idea. Here is mine http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...d.php?t=266491 Good luck and welcome to AF!  |

Re: Tamiya 1/24 360 modena
God, i wish i had ordered another color then red. Red is like the only color you see on Ferrari's and its not very unique. O well... maybee i can figuer out a way to take it back. The good thing in that my dad own a mechanics and body shop. He told me i could borrow one of the srey booths for a few days and i can use his sprey gun. Thats ganna make it look allot better. By the way, you guys have been so cool! Thanks guys, seriously!
