discussion Fujimi 250 GTO

[Guest]

Does anyone know where i can get the wire wheel set from?

I go them as part of the fujimi kit, but such offering is no longer available. There are some offerings on eVULbay, but hey are quite expensive - around 50-60EUR.
Also Meidamix shop in Sinagapure have those. I purchased from them and can say only good things, they have never shipped to my country before, but after contacting them, they added it and the service was excellent!

Sorry I had some saved on eBay foe when i buy a kit but... they are all gone at the moment. There is only a very expensive grade up set.

 

[Guest]

keep in mind that they are for 250 Testarossa, I think they are the same, but you better check

That set showed up again on ebay... item 231975247102


Much cash required. You can get nearly a whole detail kit for that

 

[Marc Stock]

Did some more detail on the undertray. Also had my 1st go at flocking the seats. One seat was a bit patchy so ill do that one again, the other one i think turned out ok.


Not sure weather to go for black painted exhausts with some rusting or to go full stainless.

Seats look good in the picture. I see that some people like to stock the flocking to similar coloured paint,  as I use tamiya I painted the seats then add glue then flocking. I had to do a second glue and flock on my gt5 interior too. Just seems to end up patchy this flocking malarkey

Yeah that's exactly how I did mine using hubrol enamel its dried rock hard. In fact after fully dry I pressed down again and it's made it look much better. I am going to do a second pass also. Wait till fully dry and press down to reduce the 'fluffiness'

Sorry for lack of progress. Work has been ridiculous lately, hopefully i can get back on the model soon.

That looks great, just a pity the flock looks so puffy/fluffy.


I'm sure there must be a "finer" flock on the market?

 

[Guest]

Ah Lamborghini Miura, Marc, again we are thinking the same way, but I will model a Alfa 155 by Tamiya first and then go for the Miura


Wonderfull used look on the 250 GTO

Sorry for lack of progress. This has been halted for a while. I am currently rebuilding a Saab 95 Aero Turbo, a real one and since its been so flipping hot in the conservatory (this is where i do my model making) , im not exacly looking forward to sitting in the hot sun amoungst pain thinners and fumes etc.  Will probably resume this build mid September-early October now. 

 

[Marc Stock]

Hello chaps how are we all? Well I have decided to carry on where I left off. And am getting back into this gto

Did rocker covers and finished the weathering. Decided to do the exhaust pipes the same sort of weathered used finish, but the exhaust headers are being painted in alclad steel with a gloss topcoat.
