Justin Porter Posted November 21, 2022 Author Share Posted November 21, 2022 It took a lot of wet sanding between 3200 to 12000 grit followed by polishing with Novus to get the paint to this stage but I am happy to say my SWB is out of the paint booth and I can get going on the home stretch to finishing this beautiful car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre Rivard Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Superb looking 250 SWB! Nice to see a different type of red on a Ferrari. I wish I could build one of these but they are so rare. Thank you for sharing your w.i.p. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Porter Posted November 25, 2022 Author Share Posted November 25, 2022 A quick but important update. Using Matt's tutorial, Tamiya's PE Tweezers, AK's PE scissors, and Dsipae's excellent PE bender, the Ferrari egg-crate grille is now all together. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Porter Posted December 5, 2022 Author Share Posted December 5, 2022 Another update to the 250GT SWB as it nears the home stretch. The interior is effectively done. The seats, console, and dash top were all done in Tamiya XF-60 Dark Yellow (Dunkelgelb to armor builders) and the floor was flocked with Ken's Fuzzy Fur. The PE gauges, steering wheel spokes, and steering wheel badge all turned out pretty well and a healthy dollop of AK Gloss Varnish was dropped over each gauge. The chassis is finished along with the exhausts. I painted the exhausts in AK Xtreme Metal Chrome and the fuel tank in AK Xtreme Metal Stainless Steel for some contrast. Finally, the window trim was masked off and sprayed with the AK Chrome as well. I polished the windshields with Novus to try and buff out some of the 30+ year old scratches.
