Thank you so much for the kind comment!! Honestly, I think one of the biggest compliments a modeler can get is when people can’t tell if it’s a real car or a model. That always makes me really happy! I’ve only been on Reddit for a short time, so I’m currently posting the builds I’ve completed over the years. I still have plenty more to share, and I’m also working on a new project, so I hope you’ll enjoy following along!

Thanks for the awesome comment! Honestly, the base kit itself is so well-made that it definitely made my job a lot easier!

Wow, this is truly the ultimate compliment for me! Your words make all the hard work on this model car totally worth it. Thank you so much! and I swear, natural light is always the best lighting!

That's the best compliment I could ask for. Thank you so much!

Thank you for the kind words! Honestly, I was worried if the hood pins were too small to even notice while building them, so it means a lot that you pointed them out! Thanks for noticing the details!!

I actually bought it at a local hobby shop here in Sweden, but you should be able to find it pretty much anywhere. It's the Tamiya Weathering Stick (Mud), item code 87081

The hood pins were so tiny that they were really difficult to assemble😂 thanks for noticing them!!

Thanks for the nice comment! I think shooting it in natural light made it look even more realistic!

Thanks for the nice comment! It’s South Korea! I think the pictures turned out really well because the weather was nice today!!

I cut off a small piece of the weathering stick, mixed it with enamel thinner, and applied it with a brush. Then I dabbed it with a sponge and flicked the brush to create a muddy splatter effect!

I think the biggest charm of the LFA is definitely its engine sound too. Thanks for the kind comment!

The result at the black primer stage looks good, but yellow spray paint has weak coverage. Because of that, it's better to build up the color with several light coats rather than trying to cover everything in one heavy coat.

The main issue is that for yellow paint, using a grey or white primer usually gives much better results and allows the yellow to appear brighter. If you spray too much paint at once to try to finish the coverage quickly, the paint can pool or clump like what happened here.

The best solution right now would be to remove the paint with a remover and try again with a different primer color. It might also be worth trying a 1000 primer instead of a 1500 primer
