I bought my Revell 360 Modena at a swap meet several years ago. All of the sprues were there, however the body had a thick layer of black paint that needed to be stripped away before I could proceed. After a overnight soaking in brake fluid, the old paint was scraped off, the shell reprimed with Tamiya white primer, then sprayed with Tamiya gunmetal spray lacquer since I really detest the garden variety Rosso Corsa red Ferrari. The interior represents black leather which was reproduced by an overall coat of Tamiya flat black. The brushed aluminum interior accents are matte aluminum Bare Metal Foil. Many people tout Tamiya's 360 as the best on the market, but even out of the box Revell of Germany's offering easily keeps pace. In my opinion it's the best 360 on the market for those wishing to avoid the high price tag and complexity of the Japanese kit. This build has captured a 2nd place award at IPMS So. Cal 2010 and 2nd place ribbon at Modelfest 2012 (spring).
