vince14 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Here's my first entry - the Auto Place Model 24 1/24 scale Ferrari 458 in race spec. Here's the contents; The decals for the Kessel Racing version driven by Valentino Rossi were bought separately, and are from Studio 27. Vince Quote Link to post Share on other sites

vince14 Posted March 8, 2015 Author Share Posted March 8, 2015 Quick update - I've coated all the resin components in auto primer, and had a quick test fit to see how she goes together. Vince Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bigasshammm Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Should your version have those hood vents or is the decals illustrations wrong? The front hood looks like it's clean. How will you tackle that if so? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

vince14 Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 Bit of an update - I should be getting ready to finish the interior this weekend. The tyres were painted with Zero Paints 'Rubber Black', then the decals were applied and then a coat of Vallejo Matt Varnish was applied. The red cover over the engine block is not strictly accurate, but I though the engine bay could do with some colour in it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
adambc Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Looking good vince. This is one I really wish they would do in plastic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vince14 Posted April 4, 2015 Author Share Posted April 4, 2015 (edited) The wheels and tyres are complete; Here's one of the brakes; The seatbelts are from HGW and are really good; Starting to come together now; I've also changed my mind on the colour scheme - more on this later...

vince14 Posted April 6, 2015 Author Share Posted April 6, 2015 Colour change! Can you guess what race car I'm going to be building now? :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
adambc Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Looks really good, moving right along. My guess Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigasshammm Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I don't think there's any other than Krohn who use that color. It'd be cool if they made a Daytona Prototype kit somewhere. I've never been a huge fan but the shape and look of them is starting to grow on me. So we have 2 candy apple green Ferrari's for this GB. Sacrilege. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Don Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 (edited) I know this isn't the 458 that Vince is doing, but I have always loved the Patron Tequila scheme: Looking great so far Vince :thumbsup:/>. Looking forward to more progress pictures. Regards, Don Edited April 7, 2015 by Don Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigasshammm Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I love the Patron! The car's nice too! Plus that Patron has the same hood vents as the kit. Guess we'll wait and see. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
