Re: Ferrari FXX No 17 Bianco Fuji (Pearl White)
I always wanted to try that hiro heatshielding. Im so tempted to try this one also. The scale motorsport fxx kit is awesome i have to say, if you plan on making the black one i suggest getting that kit. Only downside to it is it only has cf for the outside, no interior.
Nice selection of extras!! One thing to mention is i think one last thing you might want to detail is the shocks. I know aber, scale production and other make em. Either way looking forward to seeing some progress, and best of luck on this build. BTW Crazy modeler didn't include brake detail?

Re: Ferrari FXX No 17 Bianco Fuji (Pearl White)
wonderful color
 Just imho beware of the color of plastic.Red is always coming up, so when u will start to paint it, just be sure the primer really cover all the red plastic. Best

Re: Ferrari FXX No 17 Bianco Fuji (Pearl White)
Hey Guys
Wow thanks for looking & commenting Quote:
Yes im using the Basic PE set from Crazy modeller, kinda sucks theres no brakes detail & its also missing the mesh from the engine cover beside the glass. But thats ok, i plan to wheather the discs anyway... Id love to get the Scalemotorsports Full detail set, maybe in the future, i dont think my skills are quite ready for that much detail. Red Plastic, Yes i always use 2 primer coats, pearl white has to be one of the hardest colours to get right, i used 2x cans of Tamiyas White fine primer to get a solid white finish. Check out this photo, this is the difference between 3x Tamiya Ferrari Kits, FXX & F50, Also my 360 CS plastic was a slightly different shade of red.  Anyway, some progress Scale Motorsports CF (from Santa)  Painted Parts  No Clear just yet - decals where average, some didnt want to stick to the paint, i accidently found one on my hand 2 hours later, & had to put it back on... Applying to clear coat would have been better  Clear Coated - please ingore the dust, has been sitting out of cabinet    Outside at dusk  Inside with Sunset  & Heres a little engine progress, still to wheather the engine & exhaust  Thanks for looking, Hopefully ill have some more progress pics for you all soon Ash

It's looking really good in white, both the original and your model!
I've heard of silver paint being a good barrier for bleed through, especially on red plastic it would be usefull. Niclas

Re: Ferrari FXX No 17 Bianco Fuji (Pearl White)
Pretty colour! You are right about pearl white, it is hard to archieve a satisfactory result, but you did it! The silver pigments are fine which really made the model look realistic!

Re: Ferrari FXX No 17 Bianco Fuji (Pearl White)
Really nice colour choice. I also like how it looks to have a satin finish in some photos and hope it will be the final finish
. I'm looking forward to following this. I'm interested to see how you're going to detail everything.
