Monogram Ferrari 275P

[fireguy14]

Classic Monogram curbside kit, originally created as a hardbody slot car. Had started it years back, and right after priming the body left it sitting too close to a clamp on work light. Had enough radiant heat that the rear deck warped and tire humps melted down. Took a while, but finally got another one. Cut out the sides of interior tub to resemble actual car. Added PE + masking tape seat belts. Could not find a PE shifter gate, so crudely drew one on with a Sharpie. Worked on the dash to attempt to get steering wheel more centered. Aluminum tube exhaust pipes. And added wire wheels n tires from Ferdinand Pinto of Spain. They are incredible! Thanks for checking it out!

Very nice. I'd love to build one of these someday. Your mods add a lot of realism to this basic kit.

Very nice , the care taken on the interior, the wheels and the paint finish all add to a nice model .

Looks great.  

I'll be starting a restoration of a gluebomb one of these shortly, and your build here is certainly inspiring.

Thank you so much everyone!

Very well done.  I like how you opened up the door panels in the interior.  Really makes a difference.

Very nice model, David - the interior changes really pay off well (might take the same approach, as I have it in my stash, too) - just a question: are the exhaust pipes really that long?

Fabulous. The whole package looks gorgeous but the wheels are the icing on the cake.
