Exotics_Builder Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 Revell kit with Hobby Design wheels and PE set. Painted to simulate Rosso Fuoco by using Tamiya Metallic gold base, then Mica Red and cleared with TS-13 Clear.
Matt Bacon Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 Very lovely indeed, and a fantastic (and familiar) colour combination. They are spectacular beasts, aren't they?Did you manage to get the bonnet/hood so that it closes properly at the front...? ;-Pbestest,M.

Needed a lot of warming/bending at the passenger front side to get conformity. Gap at front is a little wider than I'd like. I'll see what the 599 GTO does when I do that one. The next one will be to finish the 246 Dino GTS and then, maybe, the Novitec F12 N-Largo using the Fujimi F12 along with C1 Models transkit.
Exotics_Builder Posted March 20, 2016 Author Posted March 20, 2016 For some reason, this model is a DUST MAGNET. I can't seem to keep it clean for long. Maybe its the time of the year
Kennyboy Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 Was great to see this spectacular model 1st hand yesterday Gerry! Just awesome.
Matt Bacon Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 I'll see what the 599 GTO does when I do that one. The GTO is exactly the same. Like you say, warming and bending works, and I found that thinning the hood hinge pins down a bit helped as well, so the bonnet has a bit of "wiggle room" to settle down when you drop it shut...bestest,M.

Forgot to add the thinning of the hinge pins. I also used .015 clear plastic for the rear windscreen.
Lovefordgalaxie Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Bella maccina. Molto ben fatto. Anche bella verniciatura.
bbowser Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 I'm not much of a Ferrari guy but I keep coming back to this one. Very nice work.
