Ferrari Testarossa

[Dazzler041]

Well, my first post on the site and on the work bench.

Its been a while since I crafted any models and used hang out on a different site called Escale, so this one is pretty much going to be an OB build.

 

statrted with the basic engine build, but first a box shot and instructions,

I love this kit!!, doesn't look like you lost anything, its looking great!!

Cool! I will be watching this one closely. I bought a partially assembled Revell version at a flea market that I have yet to start.

[Dazzler041]

Awesome, some of the differences are, the intake manifolds, air intakes on the engine, the lights are pop up and not fixed on the Tamiya models.

Will be following closely. Is this the Hasegawa kit?

[Dazzler041]

Hi FabbricaP, no it’s a Tamiya kit

some additional engine work completed

I’ve always wanted to get this kit but I was never  a fan of the one side mirror up high in the driver side. I wish the kit came with an option for two regular style side mirrors.

[Dazzler041]

You could always fabricolble your own from other kits or putty mould some?

[Dazzler041]

Little bits of progress ?

Nice job so far. What kind of paints are you using on the engine?

[Dazzler041]

Vallejo Model air both airbrushed and bristle brushed.

Which VA paints? I have both air aluminum and air silver. Would like to give them a shot soon.

[Dazzler041]

Its the one below that i have been using for the engine component in silver, aluminium finish

A little update since I last posted the progress so far

Thought I’d go with this as the body colouring, most tend to with Rosso  corsa red, but I decided to go Giallo Modena yellow instead.
