Hi to all, a short message to say THANK YOU for all the comments, sorry but I guess I'll be not able to post again something similar.

Hi Guys, taillights have been finally placed. Headlight housings have been painted with Humbrol chrome silver and from scrap parts I found some headlights lenses, glued to the boby with white glue and then painted with Humbrol clear yellow. Headlight covers have been also glued to the body with the ...

Hello ! The taillights have been molded in solid red resin, with a very poor realism. So I copied them in clear resin and, following a tip Robi J gave me, to better paint them I drilled out the central parts replacing it with some clear rods I found on a Tamiya sprue. I painted the taillights with ...

Hi Guys, I blackened the areas of the windows trims, hand-painted the inner parts with Humbrol semi-gloss black and also painted all the panel lines. I painted without any care the lines with Tamiya semi-gloss black X-18 and, once dried, I removed the excess with a scratch-remover (Arexons Rimuovi ...

Body is now almost ready. Painting and decaling have been carried out over a period of three weeks and consisted in the following process:
Overall wet sanding with #1500 grit
Lechler matt white primer
Lechler gloss white
PPG gloss red (Rosso Scuderia 323), masking with Tamiya tape
Talken gloss ...

Nothing special about the spectacular exhausts, black primer, Alclad gloss black and a mixture of Alclad chrome and jet exhaust. Tips have been washed with Tamiya smoke. Front splitter have been sanded on its back, then sprayed with semi-gloss black and covered with BBR decals.

Luis, thank you a lot for your comment. Never say never, I improved my skill in the latest 5 years only, so... you have time enough. And the point is not the personal skill, we all have to enjoy our hobby, mainly.

I do not have a own website, sorry.

Ciao! Alessandro

Hi and thank you for the comments, a very little step ahead. The rear wing is really well done but for the Le Mans version it needs to be shortened of approx. 5 mm each side, so I traced two lines on the wing and cut the two portions. The wing drift and supports have been sprayed with semi-gloss ...

Interiors are nearly completed. Alessandro :)

dias Escreveu:Excelent job!
What´s that white stuff in the seat that you milled? Looks like you rubbed some cotton on it...

It's the resin which turned white under the milling.
Alessandro

The seat. I gently milled the seat area, not the back, and then I sprayed from long distance some matt black. This is the first time I try this technique and I’m satisfied with it. The back has been covered with BBR carbon decals and clear coated with X-22 Tamiya. Seat belts are a mix of black tape ...

Petter Escreveu:Alessandro, your work amazes me! I've seen your half cut Enzo and Testarossa...MY GOD! absolutely amazing.
I'm very proud to have you here on our forum!

"Bestest of best" Regards,
Pedro.

Thank you Pedro !

Hi to all, after having slightly sanded dashboard and steering wheel, I primed them with semi-gloss black. I masked the shell which have to be carbon covered (BBR), and I started spraying dense matt black from a long distance to achieve the velvet effect. Instrument panel is a 1:1 photo reduced down ...
