Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa

Thanks, Guys... your encouragement is much appreciated!

The wheels on the GTO are etched metal, provided in the kit. It's the Gunze kit, re-boxed by Airfix in the early 90s as "Hi-Tech", and it was a gift (along with the 1/24 Jag XK-E from the same stable) from someone who was never going to build them, so in value for money terms, it was priceless! The E-Type has a full white metal engine and "origami" etched brass spaceframe, so it's more of a challenge...

More pictures, like this:

The seats are just Citadel (Games Workshop) Skull White paint, hand painted with a fine brush, apart from the outside edge, which was wide enough to hold some Tamiya 6mm masking tape to get a sharp edge.

I wouldn't like to build ONLY Ferraris, but if someone told me I could only build models of one make of car for the rest of my life, Modena would be my spiritual home, just as if I could build only one type of aircraft, it would be a Spitfire...

bestest,

M.
