The Madhatter Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Hi guys and girls So recently, my son has become obsessed with cars - in particular the LaFerrari and the Aventador. He got a 1/18 LaFerrari for Xmas, but I remembered that I had the Tamiya one built from a few years ago that was more than a little under whelming in regards to finish. So, after scouring countless pictures with my son, I came across a really nice FXX in blue which I thought would translate nicely to a standard LaFerrari. It looks way better than when I first did it now. The wheels are from the NSX kit which I had left iver and thought would look pretty cool on this - painted in gold titanium. I lost an exhaust nozzle, so I took one off and cast a replacement in resin. You can't tell the cast one apart except for the chrome is slightly different shade. Not worried about it. Well, that's the first one off the blocks for 2020. Now my son wants me to repaint the old Aventador kit I gave him in the same colours - which I shall dutifully do for him Anyway, that's it but thanks for looking Si Out2gtcha, mustang1989, RLWP and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brett M Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 What, no Ferrari red?! Looks good in the blue, and more unique! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLWP Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 I'm not entirely sure if your skills are in painting, modelling or photography. Whatever they are: WOW!!! That is lovely, and looks very impressive against a dark background. Love it! Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Madhatter Posted January 20, 2020 Author Share Posted January 20, 2020 Thanks guys - you're all very kind. I know though - a non red Ferrari?! What's the world coming too? But I actually don't mind it. I let my son decide on this one. One thing's for sure though - I will not be a fan of Yellow, no matter how hard he tries to sell it. The blue is Mr Metallic GZ-204 in case your wondering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
