what do you think?

all i get is this crazy background with a million ferrari signs and some demented message thats so distorted i cant read it.

Good advice there - it's a very creditable effort and looks nice. Have a look at some of the tutorials on Alex Kustov's site - there's a wealth of info there for you.

thanks guys

Rexy,
seabee says it all...

What I tend to do (and this is by no menas to say it's the best way!) is to use Tamiya rubbing compound to even out roughness in the paint. It has to be used carefully, since it really does work through paint very easily, esp on little ridges in the bodywork. Rub clean very well with cotton wool - help for that little extra shine. Then apply decals. Then I use Tamiya polish.

As far as airbrushing is concerned, one golden word. Patience! Also, paint thin layers and thin your paint enough (I think I see some traces of too-thick paint). Wait long enough for layers to dry thoroughly before applying the next. Don't be afraid to experiment. Don't be afraid to strip paint and re-do if you have to. Practise makes perfect: get comfortable with your airbrush and what it will (and won't) do. It need not be on a model: practise on some newspapers or such.

The other thing I see traces of, is some other particles sticking to your paint-job. Try and keep the environment as clean as possible of airborne particles - Newton's 8th law of physics dictate that wet paint on a model attracts all particles it can! Remember the word patience! Not allways easy, I know...

Keep going, you're heading in the right way.

oh yeah, what will wax or w/e do to the decals? thats why i didnt do it yet

with turtle wax? my dad suggested it, and i was going to do that soon, but i just wanted to take some pics

rexy,
for a first timer, you're doing fine. you need to polish them till it shine. Unless that's the result what you wanted.

just curious, what would u suggest i work on then? this WAS my first time with an airbrush, though.

Honestly, you need more practice. Im sure you'll do better in future project.
