Ferrari F40

[bai]

As much as i tried to polish the evo~ theres still so many scratches
got no will to do that car at the moment, so got out this kit

Step 1
i dont know why~ but i removed the badge.(seem like i do this to all my cars now...)



Step 2
open holes for rear vent



Step 3
color~ front is trouble free

the back...... dropped it when coloring, then broke the lower bar while trying to sand out the stuffed up bits from the drop........=.=||


Step 4
engin, first time doing wash~ the result is not that good~









Thats it for the moment, stay tuned~!

Why do you say the wash isnt that good? I thought this engine looked very nice, some of those pieces actually look like metal. Maybe in real life it isnt so good but sure looks pretty to me and nicely done.

I agree: this an 20YO car: i would see just a bit of matt alu dry brushing, may be some white touch, over it. Almost everything in this beast was casted in alu, so pretty light and rough.

Also have a look on MPWR F40, he done some fine tips to correct rear bonnet poor alignment.

I think that engine looks fantastic!

I think the engine looks very good - very realistic whethering.

I agree, that wash looks great!!! What did you use for it, and how did you apply it?

[Twowheelsrule]

The only part that I think the was wasn't perfect would be on the big muffler part of the exhaust system. The rest of the wash seem correct to me.

Thanks for your comment~ For the wash, i pretty much painted all the chrome part with industrial chrome paint~ (i really like the result of it) then just using tamiya acrylic paint(black), thin it down to really really really thin~ then brush it on, but put more on edges and places that will attract more wheathering in real life. As this is my first time, i didnt have too much expectation, but the effect is ok i guess.

Hi Mark~ you mean the big round tube at the back right? yeh, i think thats the weakest area too~ i jsut applied the thinned down black paint to it and that how it turned out.
