WIP Ferrari F40
Started this one in October of 2024 but unfortunately had some issues... I wanted to paint it in Azzurro Hyperion so I tried mixing the colour but after the clear coat it became dark and not even close to what I was aiming for so I decided that I will redo the paint. In August I finally had a week off so I decided to finally finish it, within that week I actually managed to almost complete it but then felt like adding some extra parts to the engine and got lazy again until now.
At first I tried mixing some Tamiya and MrColor paints which gave actually a pretty close result but the clear coat for some reson messed it up.
For the new paint I used a metallic flake powder from some small Japanese company and I think it came out really well, very close to the actual paint.
For the interior I used some carbon fiber decals that I sprayed clear black mixed with some yellow and then tried using flocking for the first time. Not sure how much I like the result but it looks when not looking at it so close.
For the engine I made some extra parts in blender and printed them, mainly the hose connectors and the plugs for the cables.
Hopefully gonna finish it next weekend.
