Where is the show? I have several models yet to build. They are the only Ferraris and porsches I can afford

This is in Wayne, New Jersey. There is another show coming up in Maryland, Mid Atlantic NNL, which you can go to Maryland Automotive Modelers` Association (MAMA) (http://www.mamasboyz.org/MidNNL.html)

Yeah that`s what I build for the same reasons!:hifive:

This show has a theme class for Ferrari`s so there you go!:drool: My favorite for sure.

Nice stuff. I always look at Automotive Forums in the model section. Insane work from Kunta.

The detail on that Ferrari (even down the weave of the carbon fiber and mottled effect of the carbon ceramic brakes) is absolutely unreal.:kewlpics

Some models look like the real thing. Do you paint with a special airgun ? I use rattlecans and can`t get it nice. I usually buff them too much and have to repaint. I have a C5 Vette in process.

oh yes, I go there sometimes.:dance



I use spray cans also and surprise some people. We use a lot of Dupli Color now that seems to work and polish great. We have spray booth in our basement and dehydrators, that`s the key, to bake it when your done. After that you can polish it up. If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask.:bounce
