A cat from Group C? Le Mans? I love it already... =)

Yes. The kit has got huge potential. I just hope I will not mess it up. =) And, yes, it is not much. =) Nothing is glued yet =)

It has been over a week now and I do not have much to show you. I have been working mainly on the engine and the body. The engines in those Fujimi Enthusiast Series are not just a matter of three or five parts put together but it usually gets much more complicated than that. That was the main...

Nice one! =)

I need some SERIOUS motivation to finish my models and BSC is simply an opportunity I cannot miss. =) This year I will do my best to start and finish Fujimi Porsche 911 Turbo. This is one of those Enthusiast Model kits which means lots of tiny parts and loads of fun. I hope this time I will...

It was fun. =) Thank you all =)

Guess what is going to be next... =) MIAMI VICE NIGHT DRIVE Madness of it all HQ 1987

After I took the final photos I realized I did not put the door knobs on the car! =) I had to level the doors in places where Ferrari door knobs ought to be and I made new, correct door knobs. I made those from vinyl tape and Bare Metal Foil. Easy and good enough. =) Now, some...

Thank you =) Do you mean something like this? =)

Thank you. I really appreciate your comments. I am glad you like it =)

Nearly forgot... Something for Biskup =) Miami Vice - Jeff Fahey blows up Crockett's Ferrari I am not going to do the same with the model though =)

Just one more Miami Vice chase (with Italian dubbing) and back to work... MIAMI VICE CHASE FERRARI DAYTONA PORSCHE 910 Just about the only thing to do was a bit weathering on the exhaust, chassis and in the engine bay Just a few weathering touchups here and there And it is...

Time to put everything together =) Miami Vice Daytona had Ferrari emblem above the headlamp cover but since the cover from the kit had clearly marked space for the emblem I applied the decal there. It is a tiny change and I did not strive for 100% accuracy... =) Door mirrors and wipers...

Usually at that stage it is time to paint all the window frames, door locks, knobs, etc. but that car had none of those. Ferrari Daytonas had a silver molding around the windshield but here it was black. Smooth door panels and bonnet. Almost nothing more to do with the body. Perfect! =)...

I used automotive polishing compounds to finish the paintwork. First the 3M coarse compound (Fast Cut), followed by 3M fine compound. To give it some final shine I applied Meguiar's Cleaner Wax. =)

Time for the most importat piece of any car model - the body I already made some modifications (removed door locks and door handles and remodeled the front section) but I forgot about one very important 'detail'. Miami Vice Daytona does not have small side windows next to the windshield. Here...

Window wipers. This is how they look in the kit I decided to improve their look by replacing the blades with PE parts I like the look of the modified part =)

Next job - the wheels. Initially I thought that stripping chrome from the kit parts and painting them with Alclad would be necessary to make wheels look real but on all Ferrari Daytonas wheels really are that shiny. =) Great! Less work. Better outcome. ;) First I assembled just one to check if...

The first submarine in history that sunk a ship! Now that's a treat! =) The sub has been recovered and restored for quite a while but it is still not clear how the mine/torpedo was attached to the ship. All historians agree that it was on a very long pole but noone is 100% sure if it was on the...

To finish today's updates a photo of the exhaust pipes The exhaust manifolds and front parts of the exhaust pipes were painted with Sabitennen paint first. It is a two component paint that rusts (yes, it covers the painted parts with real rust). After that the pipes were painted with some...
