Jim's Fe-raar-ay *** Finished ***

I'm liking the color.

[JamesPerrin]

I'll be leaving the body shell for a good few days to dry through, I've had problems before with Gunze Aquaeus gloss colours not drying fully before.

Yes indeed I've learned the hard way that their gloss white takes rather longer to fully harden than the matts. A couple of days rather than an hour.

Unusual shade of red there Jim.

[Jagewa]

Yep, I would say a very attractive shade of red, one of my favourites...

Cemeting in the front windscreen and....


Right ignoring it, moving along...

[TimJ]

Ouch! That's a bit of hard luck Jim.

[Jagewa]

Well, I must say I am glad this is done with, I didn't get all the twists out of the body shell, a little too many twists in more than one direction for my ability to fix. Which led to fit problems and the stress cracks in the windscreen ah well, I should have gone with the Tamiya Testarossa I have in "The Stash", but still quite an enjoyable build, and I certainly would do another car.

I certainly have more respect for what the vehicle model builders create. You have to be so precise and clean, not for my slap dash methods

The photos flatter it a bit.



This side shows I lost a little silver Pinnaferina decal, probably stuck to my finger...

Thanks very much for chauffeuring us along James, it's been a fun build.

Cheers
Jim

That's looks very impressive Jim and even more so considering where you started from. I love the colour and really glad you saw it through to the end despite the the birdstrike.
