What Ferrari Red do you use?
Believe it or not, I've never built a Ferrari kit! I'm a convert from building armor/aircraft mods to GT racing kits and now street conversions thanks to you bas*ards at the AMF! I CURSE YOU ALL FOR GETTING ME ADDICTED TO CUSTOMZING CAR KITS!!!
  Anyways...... I have now added to my workbench a 360 Modena with the Renaissance JMB Racing transkit and a Fujimi 348 Challenge which looks awesome with the Modena wheels on a lowered front end. The thing is, I haven't found a FERRARI RED that looks good! Here's what I've tried: Tamiya Acrylic Enamel.....too red Tamya Ts-8 Italian Red Spray...just as red Model Master Italian Red Enamel...too orange Model Master Guards Red Acrylic....too dark/red Testors Enamel 1103...too dark/red Humbrol....haven't tried Gunze...N/A What do you guys use? Is there a "secret mix formula?" I'd rather not mix paints but would prefer Tamiya if I had to... JMB Blue and Green mix are Tamiya. DaveM/davidmmz KITS NOW UNDER CONSTRUCTION: Celica GTRS "LuBak version"/Castrol Supra Hybrid racing conversion JMB RACING 360 MODENA W RENAISSANCE TRANSKIT check out the 1/18 conv at http://www.mhbmodelisme.com/MHB2.htm FUJIMI 348 CHALLENGE custom decals already to go... NISSAN 350Z CHALLENGE RACING CONVERSION Plus one more (I build in fives ...save cleaning my airbrush!) KITS RESEARCHING Fujitsubo R34...hoping for a Tamiya R35 kit soon, S27 decals on their way! Still working on my website...hopefully soon! |

did u spray Tamiya Red over gray primer? It's prolly too red cuz the background was too light... with gray primer it'll look pretty convincing...
 Don't bother with Testors... from my ship modeling experience, Testors spray paint will give u sandpaper texture... not even orange peel... it's like.... i could probably cut myself from touching the surface... [Hull Red, btw]

Never gave too much thought about this - from what I can infer from others posts, there are dozens of Ferrari reds. To me, it's like the equivalent of olive drab in armor- there are so many different opinions that I just stick with whatever I'm pleased with.
