Tamiya Ferrari 360 Modena

[Nacho Z]

I thought I would share my latest model with you.  I will post a link to the WIP thread if you would like to see it.

 

The quick rundown on this one is as follows: Tamiya 1:24 Ferrari 360 Modena, original release I believe, molded in red.  I painted it in Gravity Colors' (Spain) Grigio Alloy.  It is cleared in Tamiya TS-13 Clear.  Interior is Tamiya German Gray.  I used Tamiya's Dark Gray Panel Liner on the body panel lines.  Unfortunately, I did have a couple of issues with the kit.  Mainly, the side windows just did not want to fit.  This is a common complaint on this kit.  The ill fitting side windows caused issues with the fitment of the interior and chassis into the body.  A lot of grinding, sanding and carving resulted in a decent fit.  I also got some ghosting on my body's mold lines.  They absolutely were not there when I primed it but showed up during paint.  As they say, it is what it is.  Overall, I am very pleased with how she turned out.  Lots of pictures to follow!

That's a nice colour, a nice change from the common red. Well done John.

Nice, clean build. Closeup shots show your attention to detail. Beautiful finish on the paint and clear. Photography is excellent. Wouldn’t have noticed the window issue if you hadn’t pointed it out. Let me see if I can find one of my own to post here…  ;^)

Great build!

A nice departure from the traditional red. Great work.

[Hi-Po]

Nicely done and great color choice.

Thanks, Sting!  I appreciate the kind words and the chuckle!

Beautiful Ferrari, John. Very clean work, and well-done on all of that masking, glass & trim. I really dig the colour, too. It looks surprisingly good on a Ferrari. The first 550 Maranello I saw was painted this colour, and I was stunned at how good it looked.

Very nice job on this one John.  I like the close-up shots of the detail.

Never really been much of a Ferrari fan, but this one is beautiful. Wonderful choice of color, makes those sweet body lines really show their stuff.

I really like that color on this car.  Well done!?

Great work and TS-13 produces such a nice shine.

Beautiful build!

Gorgeous Ferrari!

Beautiful build, love the light looking colour, it looks in-scale too. great photos too Mr Nacho...

That's a great looking build. The window trims are very well done - I know from firsthand experience that black window trims on a pale metallic color can be quite a challenge to do well. Great work!
