JP Models Posted February 19, 2023 Posted February 19, 2023 Finished! The Nunu Audi R8 LMS EVO GT3, dressed in the Land Motorsports Montaplast livery from the 2019 IMSA Sahlen's Six Hours of The Glen. I spend a lot of time pouring over my race pics to get the details and intricacies accurately replicated. Every time I looked at a new picture I seemed to find more exposed carbon fiber! A few custom parts, a few PE parts from the Nunu detail kit (DO NOT recommend), and decals from Taylor Made decals / Decal Doc. Really quite pleased with the end result, really like this Land Motorsports livery and the details this team puts on their race cars. Tried multiple green colors to get the right dark green shade, and landed on multiple coats of Splash Paints 'Isle of Man Green' for the darker shade. A few of my race pics from the 2019 WGI IMSA race interspersed as my inspiration and reference. Thanks for looking! 7 1

majel Posted February 20, 2023 Posted February 20, 2023 Fantastic looking model. The decal work is outstanding! How do the Nunu models go together in comparison to Tamiya? 1

Andrew McD Posted February 20, 2023 Posted February 20, 2023 Very impressive, particularly the decal work! Enjoyed the race photos as well. You seem to have hit every detail of the actual car in your scale model. Well done! 1

How do the Nunu models go together in comparison to Tamiya? Majel - Thank you!! I just finished up a pair of Tamiya F-14 Tomcats that were a dream to build. The Tamiya Mustang GT4 the same. The Nunu's a bit hit and miss. Way better than the Revell C7R kit, but the body to chassis fit on the Nunu kit could be better. The factory rubber tires are horrific in the Nunu kit. I went with 3D printed tires from Indycals. Otherwise, the Nunu kit really wasn't too bad, but it doesn't quite fall together like a Tamiya kit. The Nunu brand photo etch parts on the other hand... stay away!! They are terrible. Don't fit properly (or at all), curves don't line up, and the scale is off. If going with PE parts for the Nunu, look elsewhere beyond factory Nunu for PE parts. 1
Funkychiken Posted February 23, 2023 Posted February 23, 2023 Killer build, looks great in that livery! 1
Just Jim Posted March 2, 2023 Posted March 2, 2023 Awesome is the only word I can think of to describe this excellent build. Great Job! 1
Nacho Z Posted March 4, 2023 Posted March 4, 2023 What a fantastic model you’ve made, John! Seen it over on FB. Great job! 1
Pierre Rivard Posted March 5, 2023 Posted March 5, 2023 Wow... that is some paint & decal job. Actually it impossible to know for sure what you had to detail paint vs decals because it all integrates together in perfection. 1
Paul Waymouth Posted March 6, 2023 Posted March 6, 2023 Excellent work and next-level on the details 1
Mattilacken Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 Beautifully done! Livery is really nice! Great work on the decals 1
