kurth Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 I've decided to try building some ferraris. This is a Revell of germany boxing of an Italieri kit. I just don't like to paint red, so I decided on Orange mist. I heard a lot of good things about duplicolor touch up paint so I figured I would give it a try. The paint went on very well, I was pleasantly surprised. Ok, back to bench to finish cleaning up parts to prepare for a few rounds of parts painting. Thanks for looking. --------- --Kurt Hollenbach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ismaelg Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Cool! Very interesting color. One of my all time favorite cars. Mine is in primer, but I confess: it will be Rosso Corsa RED Are you going to leave the engine lid on? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertw Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Interesting choice for a color but I think it's going to look sharp. I just picked this kit up a week ago while on a trip but haven't even opened the box yet. I have to many kits on the go at the moment so will set this one aside for the future. I look forward to seeing yours finished and hearing about any problems you had. rob w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonr Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Thi gold sounds to me like a base for the Orange Mist. One of my all time favorite street Ferraris too. I remembers me the back to the 80's Magnum P.I. TV series Simon Rivera Cool! Very interesting color. One of my all time favorite cars. Mine is in primer, but I confess: it will be Rosso Corsa RED Are you going to leave the engine lid on? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurth Posted July 31, 2007 Author Share Posted July 31, 2007 I'm moving right along with this kit. It is falling together nicely. At one point I misplaced the Chrome tree. After looking into getting a replacement, I found it, but I have now hopelessly lost the decal sheet, I ordered one from Revell but who knows how long it will be. Since my first post on this, wow a month ago, I have clear coated and polished the body, painted all the parts, and have pretty much completed assembly except for the interior, which I need the decal sheet for. With a lot of guidance from Ismael I painted the black trim. Here are a few pictures The paint polished up really well The engine: Assembled Chassis , at this point the model was pretty much falling together Black trim painted: On it's wheels! I forgot to paint the mirrors when I was painting the body, so they are in the paint shop now. Once I get the decals I am ready for final assembly. Thanks for looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuffy's Garage Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 That looks pretty good. I got one started maybe I should revisit that project after seeing yours Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonr Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 This is what I consider a perfect model car, a nice looking car, well build with just only with the parts that came in the box. Just to add personal ability and taste....an I haven't seen the model finished! Simon Rivera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurth Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 Wow, Thanks, that's quite a complement. I'll post pictures when it is done.

Italianhorses Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Unusual color, looks great so far. One thing though - intake covers are glued on wrong. They should be connected together and stacks should go vertically up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurth Posted August 8, 2007 Author Share Posted August 8, 2007 Hoooray! It's done Here is a quick picture on the bench. I will do a full centerfold photo shoot soon A good kit, enjoyable to build. I had a few set backs, somewhat self inflicted... (misplacing parts) The one thing that I didn't like about this kit was the abundance of large ejector pin marks in places that made it very difficult to clean up. If you can deal with that. this is a wonderful kit. I just wish RoG would use regualr boxes instead of end opening boxes. then I probably would not have misplaced any parts.

brandolsx Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Sick! I like this color. Can't believe this thread got looked over and no one commented after the final photo! Good work man. I like it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
