It is done (almost done to be honest :D, some minor details are still missing).

Pictures are in door only, I will take better ones once weather and my son allow me to do so :D

So in short, basic MFH kit, Zero paints, 2K Glasurit clear coat.

Added
-complete inner part of the nose (changed all MFH parts with scratch and Top Studio connectors)
-Exhaust pipes replaced with 2004 ones and remodeled to fit and look like 2003.
-lambdas and all the missing wireing.
-nose and engine cover stands made from brass tubes and stiren.
-CF all over and under
- tons of SRC bolts, washers, nuts, scalehardwer nuts and rivets, MFH rivets, Sakatsu connectors and antennas.

All in all a lot of work, some 200-250 hours.

Thank you all for following WIP and sorry for not showing all the process, there was just to much work.

Boy am I boring you with chit chat :lol:

Exactly my thoughts !!!

Send photos to MFH and tell them, they can use them as promotion and you won´t say "no" if the postman brings a parcel from Japan to you in the next weeks :grinyes:

Good grief, what is there to say to somelike like this. What a masterpiece, the stands you made add so much to the overall presentation. The detailling and that finish are beyond words for me. This may be the best model I have ever seen.

Congrat Sasa,

You well deserved the prizes you won in our contest

Thank you guys :smooch:

Any chance you can let us know how u made the stand? I mean that acrylic stand... where did you buy it? Also, how did you make the ferrari plaque?

Sure, upper part is of course clear acetate, lower part is aluminum profile bought in local craft shop (there are many different patterns). Aluminum is painted with metallic dark gray and fixed to acetate plate with stainless steel screws. Plate is printed on 180g paper, designed by friend of mine.

Congrat Sasa,

You well deserved the prizes you won in our contest

But winning in the master category means that next you you can enter only in the master category :)

Thank you Gergo, it was a pleasure to participate in Moson contest again. I hope you will have another master piece to compete against next year to, that NSX is amazingly perfect.
Category? I don't mind, I enjoy the show it self ;)

Thanks Sasa :)
We have big plans for next year (this NSX was not really new - it was already participate in a smaller event last oct in Budapest.) Hopefully next year i can come with a new model which is a bit more detailed then this NSX :) I hope i will have some time for building beside production.
Maybe next year more people from AF will join.

see you next time

Thanks William, since I am not such a big F1 fan ( I just love Ferrari :lol: ) I think I will make a short F1 brake (this thing really tired me), but I plan to take F2007 since I would like one Ferrari F1 in "one piece" if you know what I mean :lol:

Thanks Steve,

stands for engine cover and nose are made from brass tube, a bit of welding and bending... and that was it :rofl:

CF on the intake is this one http://www.hiroboy.com/catalog/product_info.php?currency=EUR&manufacturers_id=20&products_id=186
from SMS

but since that intake look a bit different I applied at first gloss finish, then put the net over and sprayed satin cote from Humbrol, then mixture of smoke and semigloss black from Tamiya, very diluted to darken all together and matt cote for the finish. I know it sounds to much....it is, but I wanted to experiment a bit :runaround: :rofl: :rofl:
