black pearl

This was a build I will remember for long.I bought the car allreday (perfect painted and decalled) from the well know Koenc and he really did a perfect job.I thought that 2 evenings would be enough to paint the pilot and all the little parts but like always my obscession to go to the edge about details brought me in some other reallity.I tested 3 colours for the rims and finally the TS 30 (silver leaf) did it.The helmet was painted with TS 35 park green and this colour is really deliciousy vintage.I try 2 colours for the interior (hull red and sand).The hull red looks more vintage but contrast from light sand and black was too beautifull so it won.Detailling a 1/12 pilot is really a challenge,It tooks about 5 hours to finisch this little job.The dash bord is 2 colours like the box art (first one on T.C.)To be honest builing this car is very exiting of course but is very stressfull.I never touched the body with my hands,only with my chirugical cloves.The contrast about the shapes with the porsche are great.Two different schools ,same result,beauty.
