You can get a little creative and make something simple out of Plastruct stock just as I did on this Olds engine.....

Incredible work, can't wait to see what's next!!!!!

Very cool, thanks for the tutorial!

This is the image of the one I built, don't remember where I got the kit but I do know I had it in storage for quite a while before I decided to build it.....

Red lines.....

Best red lines in the world in scale? Replicas and Miniatures Co. Of Maryland has them, can't go wrong there!

Monogram......

Outstanding work, clean and crisp!!!

Very nice!!

Thanks bro, didn't realize I had it here before.

Don't remember the color but I do know it's Dupli-Color with Odds and Ends clear from WalMart. Tires are resin redlines from Replicas and Miniatures Co. Of Maryland. Basically out of box with a little plumbing and wiring on the engine. Also used a Model Car Garage '66 GTO P/E Detail Set.

Built a long time ago......

Thank you guys, very nice examples and opinions on this stuff. I will certainly think about it.

A little epoxy right at the edge of the rim, should be all you need.....

I like to use the MIG washes for my panel lines, they come in a variety of colors and the consistency of the wash is just perfect. I mostly use this color but any color would work for me being that I scribe my panel lines very deep anyway....

Got me these nice rims from ebay, I think I will use them on my Tamiya Aston Martin DBS. Would love to build something really sinister!!!

This is the kit. It was for a Scale Auto Mag review.

Well worth the wait, nice, clean and smooth!!!

Very cool and creative!!!!

Nice and clean, just like I like 'em!

To tell you the truth, I am not much of an expert on Ferraris, the main reason for deciding on this build was the excuse to build the Historic Racing Miniatures engine and I thought this was the perfect kit to use it on. I am sure the Ferrari experts are seeing lots of flaws on this build but the idea here is to learn and most of all, have fun!

These are the wheels......

Thanks guys. Edward, the Hasegawa wheel/tire set is a little to "chromy" for this type of car. You need to remove the chrome from the sleeves and also sand down the P/E wire wheels with a 3200 grit sanding cloth. Use Self-Etching primer for the P/E wire wheels and regular primer for the sleeves before adding any paint. Go ahead and put them together and once completed, paint them with Tamiya Bare Metal color paint. I decanted my paint from the can and airbrushed it.

Thanks fellas, it was an approximately 4 month build.

Very cool!!!
