Rich Chernosky Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Another resin kit under my belt. This one a Fisher Ferari 512M cmapaigned by David Piper. Colour is Mr Color #327 red. Features include steering wheels, seatbelts, handmade rear deck and tailight support and extra parts from the parts box. Kit went together very well as i am geting used to the engineering on these kits. Once you are aware of what it takes, each job becomes easier. This car looks good next to the Sunoco Ferrari 512M I did several years ago. Note the texture on the seat and the silk ribbon seat belts. Guages behind the PE dash had to be backed with foil to be seen A Attaching these was no easy task These vents had to be bent upwards. Guess who got them bent the wrong way. Fiing it was a delicate proposition. Fixing photo etch windshield wipers is an artform all to itself and one I have not quite mastered. Wheels are painted a special mixture of silver, gold, copper and red to match the alloy Campagnolo used for Ferrari wheels. Special care was taken not to fill in the rivet detail on the tub. Bare Metal foil aluminium made them stand out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1959scudetto Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Very well done, Rich! I love those prototype racers from that era - they are among the best looking race cars ever. I too have several Fisher kits in my stash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watertown Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Great job! Your example makes me wish I'd ordered a kit or two from Fisher before the company's tragic demise in the horrific Camp Fire in Paradise, CA, last November. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike...this one and the next I am working on, a 512S, were only purchased recently. They are still out there and at reasonable prices.
