thanks for the tips.

anyone plan to modified the yellow enzo into this.. but the rear wing a bit problem to find one.. the one came with 360 gt is different.. the closest match will be from the 2008 575 GTC... but provided you have extras...

nop.. is from 360 GTC... i cut away the side wing stand and place them in closer position.. 575 GTC not cheap now.. i will not dare to sacrifice it..

yup.. i use a blade to cut em apart.. but the blade must be sharp end one. since the plastic material for the spoiler is quite soft.. so no prob... then use any modeling cement to glue it.. u can also use super glue to get the job done.

paint i use tamiya acrylic water based paint.. the tamiya shop at one utama's new wing underground basement shop got sell.. around 17.90 each

i use brush.. u can also use spray if u can cover those small tiny ferrari logo well.

the pirelli logo are not self made stickers.. first i find the logo from the net.. then measure the size i need for the car & edit with adobe photoshop..(with refer to sample finish model from the net too)
- then just use normal printer to print out.. apply cellophane tape on top of it for protection. then apply double sided tape behind it.. wah la... THE STICKER IS DONE!!

the problem with the rough surface is due to the glossy surface of the original body.. it act a bit like oil surface when i paint on it and is bit difficult to control the smoothness. normally a tamiya paint wont cause this uneven finish results.. i cant paint the whole body with spray can due to those ferrari tiny stickers around.

all i can advise is dont paint too thick the first round.. more thin layer is better with one thick layer of paint...

happy customised!! and happy tuesday!!

good day everyone... today topic is... haha...(sounds like a lecture)

we all know the 599 GTB is a bit boring look compare to other ferrari..(actually the 612 is even uglier...)

but not anymore.. let's do some custom..
based on this: the latest 599xx version

really love how they do the overall side skirting mod.. look very "garang"

so i give you this:


overall still in progress stage.. not yet paint and no sticker yet...but happy coz my boring 599 become a bit handsome already..

try it out guys.. is fun!

thanks for your compliments... the ferrari logo that original on the body is very sharp in printing.. the one if i print from own home printer cant match the fine quality.. that y i decide to keep the original logo.

not sure the f430 u plan to mod is the first version or the scuderia ver. anyway... maybe u can try this out.. me personal love the low profile paintjob very much.. especially the yellow headlights.



good luck!

we all know the 599 GTB is a bit boring look compare to other ferrari..(actually the 612 is even uglier...)

presenting my complete 599xx version: (for pictures of the on-process stage.. refer to earlier post)
