Ferrari 550 Maranello - Fujimi

[Kemszi]

This is my next model.
It's a quite simple kit, there is no engine, the suspension also very simple. I think, It can be fast to build...
I started with the body

I am looking forward to this build.  Please keep us posted with pictures.

I like the 550.  Wish we could get a plastic kit of the race car.

No engine, what fun is that?    Looks like you're off to a good start.  The Fujumi curbsides are nice kits.

Great looking car, looks like you’re off to a nice start

One of my favorite cars - traditional front engine Ferrari GT.  So disappointing there's no engine as that's a focal point of Ferraris.  Oh well - I guess you could always do this:

I agree. To my knowledge, and aside from re-releasing Enthusiast Model kits once in a while, they hardly do any fully detailed kits anymore. But then again, 82 parts on this kit is more than I'd expect, so it's a more detailed kind of curbside kit.

Perhaps someone will come out with an engine detail kit.  I have four for other kits already.

Good kit. Love this car. Unfortunately the interior is pretty inaccurate.

Great choice Gabor!!, looking forward to follow your build!

Some time ago I purchased a small stash of Fujimi Ferraris and am currently working on the F430 and the 288 GTO. Nice kits!

thank you guys for the big attention

The bottom of the car is almost ready

as I wrote it is very simple kit, almost everything molded to the chassis,and there is no spring/shock absorber...so it's not a big challange to build it...

let's see the interior:
The plan:the upper part is black, and the bottom half is beige/brown
but first i made a backplate for the seats

I SEE WHAT YOU MEAN BY SIMPLE, BUT ITS LOOKING GREAT!

Looking great! One the most beautiful Ferraris ever made and one of my favorites.  Years ago, when there were no kits of this car, I started modifyng a diecast body. When I was almost done with the body, Fujimi released this kit.  It is still buried in a box somewhere.  Maybe I'll finish it some day.

Thanks,

Interior and paint look amazing!

Revell did a full-detail 1/24 575 SA and it's a pretty good kit, mix & match w/the Fujimi 550...

I did the exact same thing!  I did build my Fujimi 550, and used the Burago 550's seats, so it wasn't a complete waste...they were much better than the blocky Fujimi seats.

I needed a lot of time to finish the car
I forgot to paint the mirrors
