Purchased on eBay missing the resin side grills. Had to cast from another model many hours of sanding, priming, resanding and filling pin holes was going to do a racing white color but thought black would be easier very rough kit but unique

Making up exhaust pipes from scratch

Slow progress on a Fernando Pinto Ferrari 375 plus

Yes. Working on building both with the italeri kit and Renaissance kits. Will build both restored version as well as as raced versions…

Next one to finish

Italeri ferrari 250 Californias reshaped fenders, vacuum formed headlight covers. Aftermarket photoetch headlight cover surrounds for 250 gto, replicas and miniatures of maryland interiors, engines, and wood steering wheels. Windshields from 1/24 diecast Californias, photoetch wire wheels, various made parts

A third Ferrari in process. Renaissance Ferrari 250 California. Filled in defects under front and rear with 2 part epoxy. Removed extra lip where windshield attaches primed with gray and white primer

Sorry should have read mr color leveling thinner…

It will be a copy of restored chassis #2015. Ran in 1960 lemans.

The color is a mix of tamiya lacquer paints white and racing white. I believe I settled on 50/50 mix. Then thinned 50/50 with lacquer thinner. (Mr hobby leveling thinner) Sprayed several coats followed by airbrushed tamiya clear lacquer. The tamiya bottled lacquer paints are great. I am new to airbrushing and they go in super smooth. Much better than spray cans. You can order on Amazon if your local hobby shop doesn’t carry.

Fujimi kit

Another italeri 250 California and a Fernando pinto 375 plus.
