yeap.. i painted the dashboard, gear knob & handbrake. ori chrome color turn fade & not realistic.
these shots will show u the diff & process






thanks bro, from wat i found on the web, F50 GT1 does exist & i only saw BBR or equivalent brand produce it in 1:43... since Kyosho's Ferrari license oredi expired.. i dun think 1:18 scale will be produce but i'm happy with my so called "F50 Lightwieght"
bout the hippo, u can get it from major supermarket & it's pink in color.

thanks, i went Nikko just now, yeap their new Lambo Diablo 6.0 selling RM500+ which is normal after less RM50+ discount. Alternative u can get cheaper from online shopping. AA jag up their new price since Oct last year.

Some more Hongwell goodness.

REALCollector: yea... bout the white paint, theres nth much we can do bout it... perhaps sucking off the humidity may reduce the risk, but it will still turn yellowish slowly... i feel tat my evo6 starts to get yellowish a bit le... n here u go, this is the hippo suckers i refer to...





i think ur place should have sold this eh? u can oso get them in 3 pack or separately..

ericmaxman: nice collection there! thanks for sharing...

saru88: i guess shouldnt be worry too much for the next 2 - 3 years (depends on how u maintain the car from time to time)... coz the GTR white is not an ordinary solid white color, its pearl metallic white, so metallic colors should be able to last longer compared to solid colors...

myke: awesome... so ur f50 lightweight should be the one n only on earth eh... nice le, u can now match it with the f40 lightweight liao! job well done!
