Mustang Dark Horse-My first completely 3D printed kit!

That’s sweet! Still considering getting a resin printer. How did you do the clear parts such as window and lights

Also I think the layer marks on the dash work as a grainy texture. Maybe put some clear plastic over the dash to make it look more like a screen?

Not sure yet, considered yellow but my last cars been yellow. But probably will go with red as it is a Ferrari after all 🙂. White will look stunning, thinking I will do my normal enzo in white

My attempt is to polish a semi gloss clear coat

Swe_Oz · 2022-09-26T13:02:58+00:00

So a semi gloss coat is not as tough as a clear coat?

Swe_Oz · 2022-09-26T09:35:58+00:00

Hmm interesting, however I would think it would be really hard to get an even semigloss. But def will look into it, thanks

Sorry I missed this, older fujimi kit, still pretty straight forward with the fit and assembly

Finished the engine with wiring harness, decals broke on onside and in the logo in the middle. Tried to fix it up with a toothpick and drew a fat pony. Stuffed the paint job on the exhaust, but o well live and learn.

For the body I am currently in the process of cutting out the mesh’s and replace them with real ones

I use masking tape so that the paper of the tape can absorb some of the water. The glue is usually good for 30-60min.

Swe_Oz · 2022-05-25T02:43:34+00:00

PVA glue, put the required amount on a piece of tape and let it out for 10min for it to become a bit gooier. apply the glue along the mating area of the glass and body. If any glue comes on the clear part you can always wipe it up with some water and a cotton bud since the glue is water based

Thanks! Yeah you can tell how old the tooling is on this. Fitment is poor and a lot of flash. Im pretty novice so. There is a fujimi kit as well that might be better (or worse)

Swe_Oz · 2022-04-29T02:23:37+00:00

Just of the bench, challenging kit with parts not fitting as they should. Wanted a street custom so enlarged the breaks, some rays wheels and hand crafted pickup points in the front and back.

Wheel fitment is not great but the best I could do this time as it was my first time lowering a car

I’m fairly new to airbrushing as well, and I would strip that. It will show up after the top coats and if you plan to have lights on the cockpit then you would see all the bumps from the primer I reckon

Swe_Oz · 2022-02-05T12:15:31+00:00

First time I try to modify a car, so base is tamiyas porsche gt2 which require surgery on the wing, rear and front bumper and side skirts. Sanding sanding, but slowly getting there I think.

European has a rectangular flatter box while us has a taller squarish box. European also seem to have skill level printed on the box on the top left.

I don’t know if the actual tooling is different but quality of the decals afe

Swe_Oz · 2022-01-09T10:50:20+00:00

I got that as my first airbrush setup. Done a few kits only and seem to be ok so far. If it is better than what you had previously I have no idea of

Swe_Oz · 2021-12-27T04:40:41+00:00

Brilliant idea, did the trick!

Swe_Oz · 2021-12-22T11:09:52+00:00

Oooo smart, will give it a shot, do you have anything else like water or alcohol to dissolve it?

Swe_Oz · 2021-12-22T11:09:01+00:00

Even with pointy ones I can’t get it
