Anything other than red, right? Yeah I am leaning toward a burgundy/ Maroon. I have some in stock that might look pretty good. Was saving it for my 246 Dino. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Porter Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 It's very hard as a diecast collector to see a 250GT Lusso and not immediately want to paint it light green with a white interior. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brudda Posted January 31, 2023 Author Share Posted January 31, 2023 Fitted the glass. A little work with a hiro kit. I made a template for the side windows. Fit the template first then traced it onto the clear plastic. They fit good. You will want to do this before paint. A lot of handling . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I opened it up over a month ago and the photo-etch parts are missing. I have contacted MFH about replacing them, but have not got a response. Any help would greatly be appreciated, thank you "Keep on Building" Hello Curt, here is the contact that Mark uses if there is any issues on a kit. Hope this helps 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exotics_Builder Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 When I bought my Lusso kit when it first came out the body was broken at the driver side rear. I had gotten the model from Hobby Link Japan. I contacted them and they got a replacement to me fairly quick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbtr6 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Nice, it does have the copper undertones. It looks great on many vintage Ferrari's. Perry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perry Ok Perry, it’s going Nocchiola. This just hit me like a rock. Looks great, not the usual colors of a Ferrari, and I have never painted a model car this color , so it wins all around for me. Thank you for the picture. Maybe this weekend it will be painted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brudda Posted February 6, 2023 Author Share Posted February 6, 2023 Ok, after a day of frustration on the front suspension, it’s built. Nothing fits at all. Had to bend the A arms forward to get the tires to sit in the fender correctly. Cut the springs. Typical model factory hiro. My fellow modeler Phil, put a hiro kit together and said NO MORE! And he is a national IPMS champion. He said it was the most expensive scratch built kit he has ever bought. And today I believed him. Fought this front suspension. It was off on everything. But I was not going to give up. Finally the way I want it. Now take it all back apart and paint the front suspension. I’m sure glad this is not the first hiro kit I built as I would have said “ no more” I also reshaped the front fenders at the wheel opening to center the tire/ wheel . I have only seen one mfh lusso kit built. Now I know why. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brudda Posted February 18, 2023 Author Share Posted February 18, 2023 Just looked up what nocchiola translates into. Hazelnut. Makes sense. Just painted her and she came out great. Soon as she dries I’ll put the body on the chassis for a pic. And boy is she hazelnut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
