Rich Chernosky Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Another resin off the bench. This is a Fisher 1/24 Ferrari 512S that was campained by the Belgian team Ecurie Francoshamps. This kit was built in conjunction with my 512M posted a week ago. Some of the work was similar so I did both at the same time. Colour is Tamiya TS-16 (80%) and TS-34 Camel Yellow (20%). Extra features include steering wheels, seatbelts, and long stalk mirrors. The mirrors and seatbelts were missing from my kit so I had to scratchbuild them. Build went very smoothly. Chassis ready to be mated to the body Note the nice text ure on the seats, way different than the 512MLots of tiney parts all prepared and painted ready for final assembly. Not all of them were used but it was nice to have the extras. Panel lines were done with a nib pen and India ink. Firestone decals from the parts boxI like the angle of this photo, not the handmade roll bars from aluminium tube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gluebomber Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Looks good, Rich. I've had this kit 80% done for several years. Your post may have inspired me to finally get mine done . Nice Work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89AKurt Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Cool to see something unusual, plus a resin kit that might not be offered again, get built! Nice job. How does the mirror on top get used, is there a slot in the roof? Did you make it steerable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes...the wheels steer, Ya know I just can't stand for that not to happen. See the 1rst photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
