No Laughing!!! First Custom 355!!

The front emblem you can cover with "bare metal foil". You can find it in any well stocked hobby shop. It is not clear but it is extremely thin and when you stick it on top of the emblem you can see the contours on it. Yeah it that thin!
Same thing on the side emblems. Unfortunately if they are Ferrari scripts ot just pininfarina badges like on the Enzo- they are goners. You would just have to replace them with decals or photoetched parts.

 

Hi,Robbie

How about making a white F355 GTS like mine?

It's easier to buy some emblems and stick them on as I told you before.

Yeah....looks great with the white interior!
I did mine with white because I already got the black one and also the flat black F355 GTS.
Basically,I only modify cars when I got an extra one.
As you guys know,The F355 GTS is rare and hard to find now.
We can only count on the new release red F355 GTS of HW.

What's your next target?
Hope to see it soon.

 

Good for you to get so many black F355 GTS.
The yellow F355GTS are still can be found in Europe ebay but the postage is expensive.
How about custom a orange 355 GTS just like the Lambo style?

 

In my very limited model building experience I have had pretty good success using an airbrush and model store paint. The metallic particles are much smaller and seem to scale to the model pretty well. Also, you can get chartpak tape that is much smaller and will work for masking pretty well. Using an airbrush do several coats. I usually do around 3-5 thin coats and it looks good. I paint R/C models and they get pretty abused but the paint has held up well over several years.

No offense but you are comparing apples with oranges. The RC cars have lexan bodies and there is totally different paint for them. Since you paint them from the inside you also don't have to worry about getting smooth and shiny clear coat.
You are correct about one thing though. Airbrushing is the way to go. Simply because of all the control you get.

 

Amazing GTS Robbie!

 

Good point for making models in new color, but it did not affect me too much.

I still have about 30x HW F355GTB, 10 355GTS and 15 355Spyders on hand for color modification.

I also bought some UT F355 in my vacation

 

if anyone could post where to get a 355 gts it would be appreciated, i have a yellow one but i dont want to mess with it since they are so rare

 

theres no way im paying $150 for a model lol

 

Nice work! I like the wheels, not over chromed like some I see out there. I found a Fujimi 355 spider kit the other day, can't wait to get it on the bench.

 

Nice work Rob - were that a GTB, I think I would be trying to buy it off you
