Mr. Can Am Garage Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 The fully assembled, painted, detail painted and decaled Ferrari V12. The drivetrain is now in the chassis. Hope to have the rear suspension done for tomorrow. Maybe even the front but don't get your hopes up.
crispy Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 John, that looks great! I bought a few of these kits for the engine, they should drop right into the Fujimi 550/575M's. Look forward to your progress! Here's mine in Nero Daytona Metallic: Chris
simonr Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 Real nice build!....the engine looks like the a real one. Keep us updated!

Look forward to your progress! Chris Chris, Thanks! What colours did you use for the interior? Mine's a dark blue just to be different. Like this. Tamiya Sprays Dark Mica Blue to be exact. As for an update, things are moving right along. If I can find the time, I should have a rolling chassis by this time tomorrow.
crispy Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 John, I used, I believe, Tamiya Light Sand. Pretty generic, but I like the way it looked. Chris
Mr. Can Am Garage Posted September 11, 2006 Author Posted September 11, 2006 I promised a rolling chassis but sadly, Jackson and the boys couldn't deliver. It's sad when you can't count on your right hand man.
simonr Posted September 12, 2006 Posted September 12, 2006 Where you got that nice stands? Simon I promised a rolling chassis but sadly, Jackson and the boys couldn't deliver. It's sad when you can't count on your right hand man.
Mr. Can Am Garage Posted September 12, 2006 Author Posted September 12, 2006 Where you got that nice stands? Simon Dang good question. I've got three or four sets of them. One is from RnD Unique (definately not the RnD one). I've got a set from GMP Diecast (Don't think this is from them) and I've got a set from Team Caliber (?). Pretty sure this one is from them whoever they are. Came from WalMart in a set of NASCAR pit goodies - jack stands, war wagon and etc.
Mr. Can Am Garage Posted September 14, 2006 Author Posted September 14, 2006 Had to do something about the kit supplied chrome wheels.
BIGTRUCK Posted September 15, 2006 Posted September 15, 2006 Cool John...mostly see silver or red ones....get the boys some help , your pushin a lot of builds at 'em this year...
Mr. Can Am Garage Posted September 16, 2006 Author Posted September 16, 2006 An old friend dropped by today to show me his new 1:1 '07 Ford F250 SuperCab 4x4 so I showed him the partially completed Scaglietti. Even dropped the body onto the chassis for him. The reason for the holdup in progress was me trying to find a suitable colour for the brownish leather that Ferrari uses. What do you think? I think it's close enough for me.
crispy Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 As long as you are happy with it John. I think the computer screen colors will make it look different to us all. Burnt Sienna looks good, but is a bit more red and more suitable to a Porsche. That looks pretty good to me though. The Scag looks great! You'll have it finished in no time. Chris
ismaelg Posted September 17, 2006 Posted September 17, 2006 Looking good John! Did you get my message about the colors? Thanks,

Chris It's not even close to burnt sienna Chris. A woody tan which is funny as Testors calls it Wood.
Mr. Can Am Garage Posted September 17, 2006 Author Posted September 17, 2006 Looking good John! Did you get my message about the colors? Thanks, Indeed I did Izzy.
Mr. Can Am Garage Posted September 19, 2006 Author Posted September 19, 2006 Here's the reason for the delay in updates. I've been working on the interior.
Mr. Can Am Garage Posted September 21, 2006 Author Posted September 21, 2006 It's getting harder and harder to work on as it nears completion. Typically, I don't mask to paint window trim but I thought I should on this one. The body was glued to the chassis just before I sat down at the computer tonight.
Mr. Can Am Garage Posted September 24, 2006 Author Posted September 24, 2006 I've been busy with other projects the past day or two so progress has been slow on the Ferrari. The tail lights have been installed and the whole car was polished today. Should have it road ready in another day or two so long as I have the time.
Mr. Can Am Garage Posted October 2, 2006 Author Posted October 2, 2006 We'd sorta put it to one side for a few days (about a week actually) before doing the final details. RoG's issue of the kit painted Tamiya Sprays Dark Mica Blue. As is typical of a RoG kit, fit is a little fiddly at times. In my case, it was fitting the body to the chassis and the driver's side windshield wiper. FWIW, the hood is hinged and opens but there's not much to see nor is the chassis much to look at. All aerodynamic panels. The brake rotors were given a wash but I think I should go back and give the lug nuts a wash too.
crispy Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 John, That looks great! Yours is not alone in the fiddly department. What's the next Ferrari in line?? LOL Chris
Mr. Can Am Garage Posted October 3, 2006 Author Posted October 3, 2006 John, That looks great! Yours is not alone in the fiddly department. What's the next Ferrari in line?? LOL Chris The forthcoming RoG 599 Fiorano. What else? Thanks!
ismaelg Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 John, that came out REALLY nice! Maybe we should do a 612 posting day. How about the 6th of December? Thanks,
