Hi everyone,

Today I would like to introduce two models that I built some time ago.
I built the Daytona (AMR kit) for a friend, unfortunately I did not make pictures of the work in progress.
The 250TR was already presented on this forum. But today, I have taken the time my registration the forum, and therefore I represent this 250TR with my other models hand built.
My only regret with this 250TR, it is the seat seams that I represented are too big. And I had no wheels Bosica.

Fabrice, the engraving in black of the Daytona, is in my opinion too heavy/thick. Did you ever use, by experiment, the same colour but more dark. In this case dark red in stead of black? The TR is just perfect....very nice paintjob Do you spray your models yourself?
What will be your future project?

Hello Polman , yes you're right, the engraving of the Daytona is too wide. In fact, in the past I have built many kits 1/43, but in resin. For now, as white metal kit, I have built this Daytona and the 250TR and 512S. During the building of the Daytona, I did not remake the engraving of the body because of my ignorance of the white metal, whereas normally I always remake the engraving the body.

With regard to the use of dark red for engravings yes I agree it is a good idea. Unfortunately, I'm colorblind. Therefore it is very dificult for me to see the black lines on the red paint. So imagine the dark red.

Yes, it is me who makes building my models from A to Z. From the preparation of the parts to be the painted. As well as the realization of photos.

Polman and Mike, thank you for your comments. I'm glad you like it my 250TR.

My next project is a 330P4 AMR. The build is already in progress.
