Thank you Rich.

Man that’s beautiful

By the way I would like to thank Chris Smith for the how to, on the seats. And of course my friend Mark Adams for the model, and getting me into 40’s cars.

A model factory hiro kit. 1/24. Was not really interested in 40’s cars. 30’s and 50’s on up but not a big fan of 40’s cars until the merc I did as a custom. Stared out luke warm at best. As I was building the car I started to get into it. Then really started to like this build. This car is not 100 percent accurate. It was a race car but I turned it into a touring car and build it the way I would like to drive one. Just a water based red toner with a urethane clear. The seats were airbrushed with focus natural Terracotta paints. And everything else is tamiya paints. The 40’s are a very fun build. I was a little out of my comfort zone, like the 49 merc I did, not really into that either but these I’m really happy with. Both builds kind of fell into place. Hope you like.

Finished. A race car made into a touring car. Not 100 percent accurate on any of the Ferrari 166. A combination of what I saw on the internet and how I would want one. After talking to the LEE Collection people here in town, ( they have one)they said no two were alike. So I made it my way.

Thank you Bert100.

Hello Gramps46, the little boat is finished. A race car made into a touring car.

Of course I love it! 3 months????? It took me a year on my cobra that has half of the parts! You must be a flat rate guy. LOL GREAT JOB!!!

Fantastic sir, absolutely fantastic!

WOW….Claude another super build. Everything is fantastic! Funny cars are a special build. You cannot hide anything. Everything is exposed. I love them but I have not attempted building one . I need a little more experience in building before I attempt a funny car. But this car is totally incredible. Great job sir!!!!

Glass. Kind of a pain. Getting hard to work and see this.

Setting the tires and wheels. On a mirror with some bottles of testors paint.

I’m following! Always in for a great mustang build

Thank you Chris. Making it a touring car.

Thank you Gramps 46. This was a build of passion. When I was a kid I loved the ford GTs but the Ferraris were so beautiful. This was my first model factory hiro kit and it was very intimidating. Just took my time and it came out. Now I really like mfh kits. Doing a lemans winner right now. Another mfh Ferrari in 1/24. Making it a touring car.

Thank you David

WOW! Beautiful job!

Thank you ATHU

Even these 1/24 hiro kits are a handful!!!
