  1. Thanks Donato! Just salvaged a nice kit, and hade some fun with it! CT
  2. Hi! Found this Revell 612 Ferrari for 5$ at a flea market. Kit was complete, but the engine and transaxle were started, and a case of "glue bomb". What to do? Turn the Italian beauty into an electric car! FULMINE means LIGHTNING in Italian. So: underhood is the battery system, and I've modified the front and rear suspensions to hook to electric motors. Bright red and pearl clear. Freehand graphics on the side coves. Mostly a styling exercise, but fun to do to change from my usual subjects. Viva veloce. Hours of fun with styrene! CT
  3. Salut Francis! Thank you, from a Ford guy to a Mopar guy LOL. I had an 85 Turbo-Coupe Thunderbird, and I LOVED the car. So, it was not a hard sell to get me to tweak this one. You are right about the tires: more like o-rings, really. And to your point about our patchy roads around here: as you know, my summer car is a Miata, and it is the perfect car to "enjoy" the jarring ride provided here in the Great White North. Oh well... CT
  4. Hi! Great paint. what clear did-you use? It's truly the "wet look". Bravo! CT
  5. Thank you John! That's my faviorite part of the hobby: the freedom to "imagine" things.
