Here is a link to the Photobucket of Niko Neimi, who mastered the 500 Superfast. Scroll down to find the Superfast: https://s20.photobucket.com/user/nniemi/library/Scale Kraft 212MM?page=1

Airtrax did the 500 Superfast, I don't have the Perma-grit cutters.

The de Rethy car styling is a continuation of Pinifarina's top of the line extended nose/ oval opening started in 1957 with the Superfast; and used in all special coachbuilt cars as the 1964 500 Superfast and 1966 365 California Spyder. However, it incorporated the extended C-pillar of the upcoming 1968 Dino. Pf stylists are not well known, but I think all are the work on Aldo Brovarone.

Check my drawing, which I've done in 1/24th to help visualize the model and dimension the parts I will replace. The roof and the rear of the model will be built of high density urethane.

Not close enough.

A comparison of the size of the two cars. I'll have to stretch the resin body, one way or another.
