metalhead Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 (edited) I'm somewhat reluctant to post a wip since my time is very limited to work on models. However, I recently cleaned out my shed and came across this model I had completely forgotten I had. It was hidden in the back of the stash and the box was crushed pretty bad. I quite like the looks of this car, so I brought it in and looked it over. The body had a nice, deep crack in the left rear quarter panel. There was also a crack just below the left tail lights. So, I carefully glued it back together and ran some sprue glue into the crack and let it set for a couple of days. I guess over time, the plastic became brittle because three, smaller cracks formed around the A pillars. Easily fixed, though. Several rounds of putty, sanding, primer and paint, I have this. I'm going for a nice, clean street(ish) version.Primary color is Scale Finishes Nissan Titanium Metallic with some red thrown in here and there. Black interior with red trim and red roll cage. I just laid down the first coat of X-22 and I'll let that sit for a couple of days. Enough babbling. Here are some pics. Let me know what you think. I hope to share more with you guys in the following days. It may be a slow work in progress, though, as I start my new job next Tuesday. I really want to try and finish this one and it is my hope that this WIP will help me see through it. Thank you for reading my incredibly long post.?

Nacho Z Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Ryan, it is great to see you building this. I built this kit, (not the same livery), a couple of years ago and it is one of my favorite builds. I’m really looking forward to seeing what you do with yours.

Pete75 Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Looking great - really like grey metallic on newer Ferraris ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalhead Posted December 26, 2020 Author Share Posted December 26, 2020 Spent today getting the interior finished up. Far from perfect, but I'm happy with it. Also got the engine compartment finished. In the next day or so, I'll be working on the chassis and suspension. Thanks for looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TarheelRick Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Never been much of a Ferrari fan, but I like the salvage work you have done with this one. Very clean repairs and a really nice looking build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalhead Posted December 29, 2020 Author Share Posted December 29, 2020 Currently working on the body. Something went wrong when test fitting the body to the chassis. It won't fit at all. So, something is misaligned. Good thing I glued everything with superglue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
