Hey Dann, Thanks ! appreciate the comments everyone Found this one too... Coach work by Michelotti chassis #15965 https://rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/MO18/Monterey/lots/r0127-1972-ferrari-365-gtb4-nart-spider-competizione-by-michelotti/697384 Thnx B.... Edited September 15, 2018 by Belugawrx thanks Dann
Belugawrx Posted September 15, 2018 Author Posted September 15, 2018 It's a '75....but the '98 vette rear end is close... hehehe ..... no
afx Posted September 16, 2018 Posted September 16, 2018 I was asked to post pictures of the HRM trans-kit I hope you don't mind Bruce. The kit does include resin tires, don't know what I did with my set. The chassis in the photo is from the Fujimi kit and is not included in the trans-kit
Belugawrx Posted September 17, 2018 Author Posted September 17, 2018 How much money did that cost you JC ?

However for the level of quality, HRM's products are very reasonably priced. Edited September 17, 2018 by afx
Belugawrx Posted September 17, 2018 Author Posted September 17, 2018 (edited) Great , thanks Jc. I will be replicating this from the lowly 1:24 Fujimi kit..... #23....probably save $100.00 , or more on after market parts,...plus shipping and exchange... trying my best to scratch what doesn't come with the original kit...intake trumpets , gas feeds, alternator brackets, carburetor triggers, ..yno... Cheers Edited September 17, 2018 by Belugawrx exchange
250 Testa Rossa Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 How long has HRM had that trans-kit out?

afx Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 Chassis looks great Bruce. Haven't built one of the Ferrari EM kits yet but it looks well engineered.
Rider Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 This is looking real cool, very nice work so far. Really interested in seeing the body work mods. Good luck

The wheels aren't correct for the race car either but HRM to the rescue. https://www.modelbuilderswh.com/collections/wheels-tires/products/ferrari-competition-wheels-and-tires-1-24th-scale Edited September 17, 2018 by afx
Belugawrx Posted September 17, 2018 Author Posted September 17, 2018 Yep I do think I will pick up a set of those wheels and tires. See if I can't stuff them under the regular flares...
GlueTube Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 Keep this thread a comin' Gents...learning a ton! Regards Brian Kroon

mustang1989 Posted September 18, 2018 Posted September 18, 2018 HOLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE SCHMOKES!!!!!! Good Lord this is gonna be a solid build.
afx Posted September 20, 2018 Posted September 20, 2018 With Bruce's permission here are photos of the Italeri kit with the HRM wheels. Note the fender flares are a different shape to HRM and the kit provides a brake (?) cooling duct sometimes seen on the cars. Front & back of the HRM wheels.
Justin Porter Posted September 20, 2018 Posted September 20, 2018 These cars are such magnificent brutes. Loving seeing yours come together and currently now sorting out whether or not I can justify the cost of the kit, the transkit, and hopefully some aftermarket decals to build Preston Henn's car as driven by Janet Guthrie, Lyn St. James, and Bonnie Henn... Inspiration is awesome and expensive.
