Fujimi 250 GTO

[papa 695]

I have to agree with Scott there looking very good indeed

[Marc Stock]

Aluminium sprayed in. A light black wash and straps painted in. (I have ordered real fabric seatbelts) 


I was going to file off the plastic straps but i thought hey ill keep them anyway.

Some more progress today. More black washing, really needed the black wash to try and make the aluminium contrast more as it still looked to me like it was a painted lump of plastic. 


Did my first attempt at chrome paint, on the gear lever gate i think it turned out as good as anyone could expect for a 1st try. I also carefully painted the black rubber edging around the lever gate and filled gate with black acrylic.


Also did the brake discs, probably could do with some photo etch parts on the discs but overall im happy. Im really getting to grips with black washing and how it can enhance the model.


Popped back on with shell to see if effect hits the modelling g spot. And i have to say im pretty happy with the result. At first i thought I had overdone it but with the shell on it needs that extra emphasis to give the effect im after.

Just went to say that this is looking great. Found a message in the box from when I was away that didn't send lol. Love the effort to make the shifter gate look good. All paying off. How's the body coming along?

[Marc Stock]

Thanks Dougie. Not starting body yet. Nice to have you back. Did some test fitting, rear dif painted.

Just the right amount of weathering I think. Is the body going to have any or is it going to be shiny shiny?

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!
