Rich Chernosky Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 This is a project that has been too long in the works and I figured it was about time to finish it. Color is Tamiya TS-49 Bright red. Interior is Tamiya LP30 nLt Sand and the dark brown accent is LP59 Nato brown. A great kit and I really liked it. I was fortunate when I bought it that the photo etch set (by Fujimi) came with it. They were a lot of fussy work but in the end well worth it it. Other than the hood (mine was slightly warped) the kit went together very well. Captions below the pictures tell the rest of the story. Thanks for looking and comments are always appreciated. I chose to go two tone on the seats. Seat belts and hardware cam with the PE set. The seatbelt material was easy to work with and looked extra nice. The engine had quite a bit of detail. The stick on chrome emblems really set it off. Rear end detail, some nice PE screens and more stick on chrome emblems. The egg crate grill was a very fussy PE item but when done was nicer that the kit chromed grill. Last thing to go on was the chrome Cavallino. Very delicate. Kit had poseable doors if you added the glue on latch piece. I re-engineered the body to accept this so I could display them closed also. The shiny round thing to the left is a magnet that holds the doors closed. They fit very well. Wanna go for a ride....keys are in it. Finished car on its wheels. Stance was just right. Body took some patience but eventually snapped into place. Rear view shows the graceful lines of the car. Phot etch wheel centers and Ferrari emblem were PE items and a nice touch. Pininfarina emblem and door lock were also included. I wound up drilling two #77 hole through the corners of the hood and added some wire aligning pins to help hold it in place. Tjhen touched up the paint. It did the trick and was easier than the magnet solution. Thanks for following. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary...that key fob was 4 seperate pieces...the key, two red key ends and the ring. It took almost and hour to do and I still had to guess where the ignition was. Thanks, as always for the compliment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
