Ferrari F430 Super GT 2008 (Jim Gainer)

Another commissioned work here on this nice kit produced by this company JP models, which Im not too familiar with. This kit is treated with full carbon fibre decals and clear coated with flat clear. There are many photoetched parts that comes with this kit which makes it look really sharp when finished. Most parts are nicely cast in metal and resin but sill require great amount of cleaning up. Quite disappointed with the clear side windows which i think the company vacuum-formed them quite poorly. Most parts fit pretty good and looks very accurate. In all, this is definitely a great 1/18 scale kit to have and work on.

Amuse GTR R35

This is the Amuse Version of Nissan GTR R35. This build is for a client of mine and it took me about a month plus to finish it, spending a total of about 170 man hours. But i must say it been tough to finish this. There are several issues with the transkit by Meko company, the resin parts given are either not necessary or not accurate. Therefore some reconstruction was done especially to the rear wing. Although there are still more minor inaccuracies, i have decided to concentrate only on the rear wing. Because if i were to reconstruct the whole transkit, then i might as well scratchbuild everything myself. Nevertheless, the decals given in the Meko transkit is good and accurate. Enough said, lets take a look of the Amuse GTR R35....

Ferrari F2007 (China Grand Prix)

This is the champion F1 car in 2007 F1 championship as driven by Ferrari's Kimi Raikonnen. This is a kit by Revell. Overall, its a good kit but several parts are too thick and inaccurate and thus needs some modification. Several scratchbuild stuff was added and some examples are the side pods for aerodynamics as well as some sections of the front wing. Carbon fibre decals are applied on almost the whole car. Some weathering is done on the wheels as well as on the overall car to replicate a raced worn car. I especially love F2007 for its look and thus i will looking forward to my build on the Model Factory Hiro as well as Fujimi's F2007. Stay tuned. For now lets take a look of the Revell's F2007!

Ferrari F430 Scuderia

Another Ferrari to my collection! Very pleased with the overall outcome except for one area which i accidentally broke it. I must say its an excellent kit from Fujimi but theres are a few accuracy problems mainly from the rear areas like the grill, the windows as well as side fenders. Therefore i replaced them using clear plastic sheet as well as photoetched grills. I used the detail kit from Hobby Design. It was a very detailed photoetch parts but too bad alot of them are not really usable. Here you go, Ferrari F430 Scuderia!!
