See for yourselves...

Let's see...to answer the questions...
It is a 1:18 diecast 456M made by Mattel which I took apart, stripped, cut the roof out, filed the edges smooth, primed, sanded, primed, sanded, painted, sanded, painted, wet sanded, then detailed, and reassembled. I have not done the clear coats yet because it has been raining and I do not yet have any pearl clear.
So total time as of right now is about 5 hours work, but about a month total time. (Time for curing of the paint and other misc. stuff)
I chose white because I only had one other white 1:18 Ferrari in my collection and I like how it works/looks with the black interior.
The pic was taken in my driveway looking down the hill toward the road.

Thats some good work, I wonder how much you can sell it on ebay for. Looks very good, if you didn't say that was a model, people may think that picture is real.
