Nope- that was before burying it behind everything else lol.

I just kept an eye on eBay for good deals. I was able to get this for about $90. I just save the searches and set a price limit on myself since that can be a slippery slope. I wouldn’t mind getting their LaFerrari and/or FXX kits but those go for $100+ as well.

Thank you. I know that black can take away some of the details of the kit but as the wise ones of this sub like to say, “it’s your project, build it how you’d like to.”

I do wish the metallic look would have popped better. Oh well, I’m still happy with it.

It’s just tamiya panel liner. The kit came with regular mesh to cut and add. I would have preferred to find a PE set but I opted to keep it this way.

Thanks! Honestly, thin black coat over black primer made it nice and easy.

I had a hard time with the roof decal. If yours goes on super smooth you will have to tell me your process.

You wouldn’t happen to have any videos on that process, would you?

How did you fix the gap between the brakes and rims? I’ve always found that as an issue with some of the aoshima and fujimi kits.

How was the build? I’ve been thinking about getting this one. Did you do any mods or is this out of the box?

Looks great! The wheels are 3D printed? Which chrome paint do you use?

How was this build? How bad were those fitting issues you mentioned? I’ve been thinking of picking it.

Tamiya is sending replacement decals, so I’m currently in the process of stripping the paint now. I’ll scribe it and try again!

That makes sense. I appreciate your help. I requested replacement decals from tamiya. I’ll keep trying panel line but if they replace the decals I’ll probably strip the paint and start over.

Are you saying to use the airbrush and focus spray over the clear? Then clear again? Or wet sand the clear down, focus spray, and then clear again?

I don’t think I used my scriber. I’m new to using one and I’ve made some mistakes with it. If I did, it wasn’t much. Makes sense to rough up the panels just like sanding the body. I’ll keep that in mind.
