Adam's Revell 1/24 Ferrari 458 Italia
Posted: Tue Jan 30, 2018 1:23 pm
This is my entry, a Revell Ferrari 458 Italia in 1/24 scale.
(Not my image but a good box art example)
As some may know from Facebook I had started this build earlier this year (after the open date of this GB) but will be starting again repairing the bodywork thanks to some painting and masking issues (my fault) So far this kit looks very good. I'm a huge fan of the separate roof liner meaning I can build the entire inner workings before assembling the car. I'm very much looking forward to having this 458 done. This will be my first properly completed car build.
The car was started using Zero Paints primer and Zero Paints San Marino Blue, sprayed from a Harder and Steenbeck Evolution Silverline sporting a 0.2mm nozzle set. Mould lines were marked with a black permanent marker and removed with a 2000 grit Tamiya sanding sponge, then made smooth and uniform with a 3000 grit Tamiya sponge. The kit will continue using my new Harder and Steenbeck Infinity CrPlus sporting a 0.4mm nozzle. Feel free to comment with criticism, advice or previous experience with this kit.
Thats all for now! Next update coming once the new airbrush arrives.
