I am a begginer/hobby builder, I havent built a model in years, about 4 or so. So I currently live in Germany and I have small access to many things that I would need to build a model. So I decided to see if it was possible to build one of these kits you can buy from toys r us with three small bottles of paint and some brushes. I bought the kit, a 1:24 revell F2005 for about 12 Eur and wondered why? The military base where I live has very limited tools and paints (ALL ENAMEL GLOSS) and 1 automobile finishing set from TESTORS and one of those air can air brushes. I managed to build a tank (armorama.com) and started the Ferrari. This is my progress so far...

my tools





this is the kit and parts laid out

more parts

Main Body

main body with parts added

main body after primer and paint


ENGINE

Turning out nicely, considering the limited resources.

Coming along nicely.

So I continued building this morning and this is what I got done with...

completed rear


adding decals to body


front suspension and tire assembly


So now total build time is about 5 hours, I will build more tonight and update this
