Hello everyone , After a very long Winter out here, and many rain storms there after. I was finally able to complete the Ferrari Daytona Spyder for my Miami Vice Project. This is from Revell's Retooled Miami Vice kit 1/24 Scale, as a type of aniversary with the 2005 Miami Vice movie. Just like the original 1/24 scale kit (1980's), this was modeled after the Real Ferrari Daytona Spyder, and not the McBurnie Kit car/s as shown on the Television series. As an Amateur Modeler with very little modification experience I think this car came out great.. Still I have much to learn, especially with spray painting, but I think I got down pat. Paints: - Testors Black - Testors Gloss Laquer - Tamiya Skin color - Testors Tan - Testors Amber - Testors Turnsignal Yellow - Testors Brown - Testors Primer Micellaneous items Used: - Chrome Metal Foil - Crazy Foam - Testor's Putty - Parts from other Kits. A few Exterior Photo's A few Interior Shots. And Finally Under The Glass . As for the modification, I had to cut and place the Mufflers closer together inside and above the Rear Suspension, I also cut a couple of pieces of sprue in order to get the look of the Exhaust to point at I believe a 45 degree angle as seen on the Show, but even what I have now is probably not too accurate (Picture of that will come later).. This was not fun nor was it that easy to accomplish, but it was done. And no I am not going to take a picture of the Chasis as it is not exactly a pretty sight to see... On the kit the original Daytona Spyder Head Rest's were thin, on the show it was seen a a bit thicker as a backing, Due to using the C3 Corvette as the car to kit out in this fashion. And since I ruined a couple of bodies I did have spare head rest's in which I used Testors putty to put together and sand out smooth.. I did get a bit of experience from that. As seen on the Interior Shots It now looks as though there is some backing, it's close but still not accurate. And since I ruined a Tamiya Testarossa kit, I did have spare Ferrari Emblems to use on this car too, as seen on both the Front and the Steering wheel. Speaking of the Steering wheel, I did cut out a piece of a "For Sale" sign and glued it on to give it the Triangle look in the Center of the wheel. If I had more Skill, Tools, and Necessary parts, I would have cut out the Head light covers on the body and replaced them with Double headlights from some other kit and a piece of ether clear plastic or Plexiglass as it is shown also on the Television Series, But I am still lacking in some of these area's.. Still thanks to this community, I am learning a great deal and I am seeing much improvement to my building skills, as well as the Motivation to continue. Thanks Guys and Gals .

That is a Sweet Racer you have there. Great Job! .

Yes I always wondered about the Rusting on these models, but I think you can now google how to rust a model . Still that is an Awesome job on both the Model and the Diorama. .

Are you Sure that's not a diecast?... Just kidding! That would be an Awesome kit to build, I too will be anticipating this one.. Awsome! .

Yes I agree Nice Metallic Color, and Awesome interior detail! Great Job! .

Considering the difficulty you had with it, it's still and Awesome job! .
