Rider Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 (edited) That is very cool looking,nice work. The best looking version of that car in my humble opinion. Makes me want to build one. Welcome aboard. Edited December 6, 2016 by Rider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karlito Posted December 6, 2016 Author Share Posted December 6, 2016 (edited) Thanks for the kind words! It started life as a damaged assembled kit I purchased off Ebay, so it has come a long way. Was the first kit I have built in 14 years and will be gifted to my father. The car has very extensive body modifications and custom made parts, such as the wheels and rear-view mirror to make it as true to the show as I could. Eventually I will build another for myself, but I want to build the remaining 3 kits in the set first (already started on the Shooting Star).

MrObsessive Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Very, very nice build! This was my FAVORITE cartoon when I was kid! I'm still a fan of the show and in fact, I have all 52 episodes on my laptop. I've always wondered if Tatsuo Yoshida (creator of the cartoon) was a big fan of Ferrari as this looks all the world to me like a customized '57 Testarossa!
