Any colour you want as long as it's red.  |

Hello, I thought of fluorescent green with sky blue to purple color shift... After a spectometrical evaluation I found that Corvette Torch Red is over 99% genetically compatible at the molecular level to Ferrari Rosso Corsa in the CMYK color spectrum of visible light under the Hue saturation and brightness characteristics. Translation: I'm saving my Rosso Corsa for an upcoming Ferrari race car project and Corvette Torch Red is the closest I had.    Let it dry a day or two before deciding if another coat is needed or go straight to masking and painting the yellow nose. Thanks, Ismael |

Ismael,
Egads!!!! Another one of your super small specials. I'm still trying to recoup from your miniature Helicopter.
Outstanding body work prep right through the basic painting process.
So do they let you visit Paul and Chris daily? And how's the food?

Hello, Joel, send more food!  A little more progress on this thing: What the kit calls a steering wheel   After quite some effort it was looking like:  and currently looking like this:  Drew and printed my own dash instruments and license plate.    And I discovered how much fun was to drill solid exhaust tips in 1/43  Thanks, Ismael |

Ismael,
I can't even see anything or things, or parts twice that size, and here you are detailing 1/43 scale steering wheels, drilling out exhausts, and designing/printing a Instument panel like it's 1/24 scale. Not only do I envy your skills, but I'm envious of your "macro" eyesight as well.

Hello, Some more progress in this thing. My goal is for it to become #8 of this year rather than #1 of 2024.... Fighting the numbers, trying to make my own decals after failing trying to make stencils.    Thanks, Ismael |

I am shaking my head in utter disbelief. You never cease to amaze me, not only in that scale, but what you started with.
