Ferrari 250 SWB Spider California (Italeri 1/24) - restoration of my own old built

[Dave B]

That's a great resto Helmut, I particularly like your early use of Fujimis wire wheels, they are rather nice.

Helmut, I love what you did with this Ferrari! Do you know off hand, the wheels that you used, are they the same as the ones Fujimi markets individually as 17" wheels? Looks like there are three different varieties; series no. 13, 14, and 101.

 

Thanks, Tim - I used the Borrani  15" wire wheels from Fujimi's Daytona kits (they all came with the option of the wires or 5-star alloys. (I have 4 in my stash):

As they were also available as wheel & tire sets back then, I ordered myself some more sets, but that must have been about 10 years ago, don't know if they are still available:

(Fujimi misspelled the name - licensing?) Anyway, they come with excellently detailed, period-correct Michelin XWX rubber: The Daytona (right) has them, whereas the California Spider (left) has the Monogram plastic tires mounted on the Fujimi Borranis.
