Re: ferrari 458 italia

Is there a difference between the Revell Germany and Revell kits?

For me...

Re: ferrari 458 italia

hello, here are some updates... dashboard for now...

after primer and flat black the dashboard, apply my leftover studio27 carbon decal that used in my last GTR project, then flat clear the whole thing so that wont damage the decal during masking and gloss clear the carbon section.





Gloss clear the carbon section and masking tape removed...






PE aircond vent applied, buttons on the dashboard console painted...


inner section of the vent painted black...


finally apply the PE aircond vent ring ontop...


Steering wheel painted in flat red, PE pedal shifter flat cleared to reduce the shine...




masked the red part and paint the rest of the wheel....


Ferrari logo decal applied... below the decal is actually a PE logo... forgot to take picture before i apply the decal... from close view can see the pop up of the horse in the logo... but cant see it clearly in picture...




thats all for now, all comments are welcome, have a nice day.

A Ferrari steering wheel is one of my favorite parts to watch. Congratulations on such a good built

Re: ferrari 458 italia

Hello, hibernate for quite some time due to work load... finally can spare some time out to resume my project slowly...

Final touch up on the dash board, decal applied PE "458 Italia" badge added.... steering wheels attached. looks cool to me.




Test fit the interior to get some visual of what will looks like after finish...










Move on to the door parts.
front part...






Rear part, but haven't attach to the body yet...


thats all for now, will work on it more when i have spare time. enjoy and all comments are welcome, have a nice day and happy modelling friends.

Re: ferrari 458 italia

hello, here are some updates...

rear support for door body frame attached... *not sure what it calls...




main frame... im not really sure am i doing this thing correctly, im really lost in this ... my plan is, after the frame dry, i will use epoxy to fill up the frame and then shape the door frame and detail it... or is that any other way to doing it???








while waiting for the frame to dry before i can move on to putty... move on to interior again...
center console removed for easier carbonize...




thats all for now guys... all comment are welcome.
