Tamiya Ferrari 360 Modena

[DiscoRover007]

Decided to post progress on a long time project of mine. This is my Tamiya 360 Modena. One of my favorite Ferrari designs ever.

Engine is painted with MM aluminum metalizer over duplicolor primer sprayed at a distance to simulate texture. It was then washed with oil paints. Valve covers and other accessory bits were painted with Vallejo spray can silver and lightly washed with Vallejo black acrylic. Debating on wiring the coil packs but they really aren’t that visible.

I ended up keeping the Tamiya plating on the exhaust as I think it is actually a pretty good representation with some weathering. I used various Tamiya weathering powders for that. I am quite proud of the overall look so far of this engine. Maybe my best paint job to date. Going for a slightly used but well cared for look.

The interior is flat black and masked off to paint the silver center console and passenger side thing. I then masked those parts and used the spray adhesive method for flocking.  The seats and dash will be tan. I

 

 

 

As for the body color. Well, You already know....

Thank you! It truly is. It's definitely one of the better engineered kits in Tamiya's catalog. It also looks truly great just box stock.
