Trio of Revell Ferrari Californias

[BVC500]

Hi all - I started these in 2011 with body prep and paint, and have now completed 2 out of 3.  

• Light blue is Cobra Colors Azzurro California (circa 2006) with the wheels from the hard top kit.
• The red one is Zero Paints Rosso Fuoco with Hobby Design Wheels.  The Zero paint isn't entirely accurate - it captures the essence but lacks the tri-coat effect of the real paint. It still needs its "Ferrari" decklid script.
• The bodies were a mess. Sink marks near character lines and in the fender vents, warped hoods, and bent A-pillars.
• Only aftermarket stuff is A+ Club scripts and flocking.
• I lowered the front suspensions.
• I might add seatbelts. Looks a little funny without.
• More pics of the dark blue one soon. It was nearly completed but then I dropped it on the floor!  Luckily, damaged was limited to a small paint chip and broken suspension. It was previously broken and not repairable so I had to buy another kit and will replace the suspension part.

Beautiful looking Ferraris!  Excellent job on all three.

[Nacho Z]

All three are gorgeous!  It is nice to see them in those particular colors.  I mean to say it is nice to see them in something other than red.  Very nice job on all three!

Beeeutiful Bernard, especially love the red paint job?

[Olskoolrodder]

All three are fantastic builds!

Beautiful builds. Did you know those Ferraris came with Chrysler stereos?

[Steve H]

All beautiful builds with stunning paint jobs. There is a light blue one in our town that we see once in a while. I keep telling my wife I’d look really good driving it!

Thanks! Lots of 2k polishing time. Luckily the finish survived 10 years of handling!

First time doing blue/red combo and it looks great. Though I don't have a favorite!
