Do be careful as the paint may "eat" into the plastic. I have experienced this before. It ain't fun.

Oic, no wonder la even after painting also can c d original defect in d plastics....or is it coz of my paint is too thin?

I've tested d paint with d runners, seems okie

That's what the primer layer is for. To allow the paint to "grip" onto the body.

Next time, wetsand the body with 400 grit sandpaper ( that's what I use, if its not right, then i'm wrong ), then prime the body. Anchor primer costs RM6 at my place.

using primer will not hide those sinkholes( original defects) on the body. you would need putty to cover them and smoothen out with sandpaper.


wetsand body with 400 grit sandpaper is a very bad idea but it is usefull for removing mould lines.
after doing so wetsand the body with 1200 gritt sandpaper to 2000 gritt so that you will have a smooth surface.
if you attempt to paint after sanding with a low grit sandpaper, you might risk exposing scratches on the body

wah lau.. isn't that the RM4.50 spray?

Thanks for clarifying

Yeah, it's d cheap brand coz that shop dun have any other brands, so juz bought it to test la..

bos, what primer you use? I like gunze mr primer.. very smooth stuff...

as for holes, you can fill them with tamiya putty..

wraping parts for metal effect, I use bare metal foil..

masking, tamiya yellow tape

black lines, gundam marker pen..

i use industrial colors including primer for all my models
i used tamiya can spraays and i don't like it at all................

Bro, where do you get your BMF from?

haha! Dove paint. i used it before too. sprayed my F360. color turned out damn matte. regretted it. proceeded to repaint it red with racing strpies

see your F360?

Argh!!! I just realise the car models in m'sia so cheap compared to Aussie. Was desperate to buy a ferrari car model to complement my Lego Fiorano and ended up buying a Revell Fiorano for RM150 and Tamiya Enzo for RM180 (After conversion from AUD to RM). Maybe I should wait until I come home to M'sia and spend my salary back home...

Question: how much is a Tamiya ferrari? Is ferraris more expensive compared to other models?

And is there anything bigger than 1/24?

Okay, which Ferrari would you want? Tamiya does have quite a few Ferraris. And which part of Aus are you from? Then maybe that way I can help you.

hmm..maybe later tonight after i go back, snap pics and post em up

I'm in Brisbane. I've recently just gotten a Tamiya: Enzo Ferrari from Hobbyrama (one of the main hobby stores in Brissy). I paid AUD55 for it.

I am just wondering about the prices in Malaysia... becos I tot maybe I'll just save some money and return home to get it instead of buying it Aussie.

My Lego Fiorano is 1/10 scale, so hoping to find a model kit that could at least match that scale, but everything I saw was only 1/24.

i remember a hobby shop at kl selling revell ferrari's for about RM 100++ abit after discount...

i remember a couple a years ago at senai airport, enzo revell RM 99.90

my BMF got when I was in UK.. got the smoke/black one also..

If you like, you could try HLJ for some shopping. If I'm not wrong, they are having a sale, right now. the Ferrari sold is quite cheap.
