The body is sanded smooth and primed. Nothing much to do before applying the first layer of paint except some cleaning in the rims. Well done Tamiya, one of the main reason I like to build Tamiya kit OOB is that you will enjoy the whole process without disappointment. Test fit the head lights... so far OK sprayed with Gaiya gloss black 1st layer of Ruby Red Pearl 2nd layer of Ruby Red Pearl 3rd layer of Ruby Red Pearl

Almost done on this baby, but still have some problems to solve... the emblems on Ferrari are stick-on type, so I'm trying to convert decals to stickers. First by using H20 overcoat to brush on the decals, creating a bulge. believe or not, this is the first time I use kit-provided masking tape, it's much more easy compared with doing it your own. I apply some soapy water on the clear parts before sticking the masking tapes on it so that I can still adjust the mask after applying. Disaster!! extra thin cement flow to clear parts.... what can I do? need help here. This is the only con on this "almost perfect kit", there's sink holes on four corners of the rear clear parts.

The H2O overcoat is a water based clear coat, it dries clear and quite elastic, normally used on old decals to prevent cracking (this happens to my modena and few of the dials decals are from Lamborghini actually) can be brush on, it will level it self. Available in Multifilla

Making of my signal lights.first, I heathen a clear sprue and strech to the desire diameter, personally I prefer Tamiya clear sprue as it's more compact and still looks very clear after stretched then I I heat up the tip, till it becomes rounded, this took some practice, just cut off the sprue if the shape is not nice cut out, I did extra for my future build painted the inner with clear orange end result. Thanks for viewing.
