Ya I agree Dann...some of their others are a bit MEH, like the ones with all the weird Asian graphics and characters.....I suggest you avoid those. Again I thank you for rekindling my interest back to this website, hoping to see a few old familiar avatars pop up Edited February 1, 2018 by Twokidsnosleep
Twokidsnosleep Posted February 1, 2018 Author Posted February 1, 2018 Seat belt PE added and passenger compartment cemented in. I am liking that steering wheel and horn logo

I cannot paint a perfectly straight line, but I am not too bad with a pen in hand. For the next build, a yellow Ferrari Dino, I think I will try to cut strips of Tamiya tape as the inserts and use Sharpie ink again on the tape for colour...just to give a smidge more dimension.
Belugawrx Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 Looking good Scott I have the hardtop fujimi enthusiasts model in the line up to build...still looking for decent distributors. I'm following this one.. Good to see you building Cheers

Good to hear from you as well Bruce and thanks You cannot see the distributors as they are so tight to the firewall...just use the kit ones and drill out in appropriate locations...I have a schematic pic if you need it Edited February 2, 2018 by Twokidsnosleep

By the way, I thought it had been a while since I saw some of your work, and wondered if you were okay......glad to see you back!! Edited February 5, 2018 by Dann Tier
Daytona365 Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 Very nice work on this Daytona! A lot more to it than the Miami Vice Daytona!

Thanks Dann, really nice of you to say Oh yeah, I am all good just been building other stuff...helicopter, jets, space shuttles and our house. Honestly, after Harry passed away, MCM has been a bit harder for me to come back to. Losing a mentor like him just sucks and I needed some time, do some other stuff....but now I am back and doing more car stuff so it is all good. I have bought three of his models from Amy, his daughter, and restored two...will show them at some point Edited February 6, 2018 by Twokidsnosleep

I’m working on the curbside version myself right now. Trying to putty and blend the rear hood section together at the moment since it is actually one piece on the real car.
Twokidsnosleep Posted February 19, 2018 Author Posted February 19, 2018 Well, I have been dragging my behind waiting on a two part clear to arrive from Gravity Colors...second shipment attempt since November 2017. Really killing my mojo for car building Anyhow, I pushed on and finished small bits that’s I could....exhaust with chrome tips, taillights, sidelights, windscreen Future treated. So now I wait, and wait , and wait.... Oh, and I scratched the gd fender waiting...have to repaint it .....and I wait....
DiscoRover007 Posted February 19, 2018 Posted February 19, 2018 Why not use something like Testors one coat ultra gloss? That should be readily available at your LHS.
LaughingIndian Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 GREAT JOB SCOTT! I hope you keep going!

Hi bud, great to hear from you She is parked in a VIP spot for a bit until I get the two part clear I planned from the beginning to use on her..it is what she deserves Edited February 26, 2018 by Twokidsnosleep
EL LOCO Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 Looking good dude. This kit reminds me so much of the first series of Miami Vice and what Don Johnson was driving. All class. NICE!!!

Loved that show, thank god I did not emulate their dressing style
Belugawrx Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 Hey Scotty 365 is coming along nicely, engine is looking good,..what did you use as the spark lead dividers ? on the 246 I finished, I cut the vent windows away from the main windshield to make it easier to install... 2cents Keep it going bud Cheers

I think it is actually a little hose clamp. Working on a Lotus Martini Type 79 at the moment while this one is on hold. First formula 1 kit build since I was 15, a couple years ago...like 35!!!! I will start a wip thread when I get some progress
