    I have been building models for over 15 years now. I have made many models for contests, for pleasure, friends, money……
    I thought it was time to start sharing my creations with other people in the forums.
    So here goes it.

    Ferrari 458 Spider

    Really nice work! Whose kit is it?

    One additional thing I might have done (and maybe you did - I couldn't really tell....) would be to use a very tiny drill bit in a pin vise and drill out all of the brake rotor holes. It's laborious, but wow, what a neat effect!

    Congrats!

    Thank you guys.

    It is not a kit. This started as a Mattel Elite diecast model in 1:18 scale. It is a replica of a real car commissioned by its respective owner.

    Great work...

    Do you sell any of these wheels in 1/24 or 1/25 scale?
