Many Pictures... My First Scale Model... Please comment!!!

This is my first model ever built...

--------
TAMIYA 24228 - Ferrari 360 Modena - Metal Plated Body
TAMIYA 89600 - Nissan Fairlady Z / 350Z - Satin Finish

I have spent BIG dollars just on paint, mostly Tamiya Acrylic and Enamel...... Both kit is not polished afterward since I don't want bright gloss that make it look like a toy car....

Ferrari is not painted because it is a metal plated body...
From start to finish on this kit, it takes me 14 hours on one overnight...

Nissan is primered and painted with Tamiya TS-30 Silver Leaf spray can... At first, I chose to leave it unpainted since this is a satin finish but I found a paint chip over the body... it is now painted but not perfect like out of the box... 16 hours approximately...


Any comment?! Good or bad?! Close to realistic?! How can I improve??

re: rockabilly -- those are really my first one... I have read these forum for days and research before I get into the kit...


re: Y the alphabet mem -- 360 was first, 350Z two days later...

Actually Tamiya Nissan 300ZX is the very first, but I broke those wheels, then I began 360 Modena the next day VERY carefully...
