Fujimi Ferrari 250GTO….

[cruz]

Definitely a kit catered to the advanced modeler. This thing is simply finicky and a little tedious specially when the time comes to adding all those body details. Photo Etch items are from AK Models P/E Detail Set, it truly puts it over the top. I should’ve dulled those rims a bit but this was more of a test run to have a feel for the kit. I have two more of these in my stash and they will certainly be built more like the 1/1. Paint is Splash Paints Rosso Corsa with a Dupli-Color 1K Clear and yes, it was shot straight out of the can, something I never like doing but again, this was more of a test run. I did wet sand, polished and waxed. Wheels and tires are not from this kit, they are actually from Fujimi’s tire and wheel set. I thought the ones in the kit were horrible. Hope you guys like it…..

Excellent model - too nice to be used in races.

Came back to look at this model again. What a gorgeous and believable execution on this 250GTO. The paint looks so nice and the shine is very appealing. Can you please share with us how you got the paint to look so realistic?

A beautiful model of a beautiful car. Well done.

Fantastic !

That looks incredible, just like all of your builds! If this is just a "practice" car, I can't wait to see the result of the one you go all out for!

Stunning work. That red certainly suits the car.

Thank you my friend, it’s nothing special, just the use of a Micro Mesh Polishing System and a light hand. YouTube is full of videos on the subject. I would share my own video but it is done in Spanish….

[Joe Nunes]

...a light hand...that can make a real difference and it shows on your model.

Beautiful Ferrari! Two thumbs up! I have to agree with Dragonhawk above, if this is a test run I can’t wait to see what happens when you get serious, lol! 

[DanL]

It's a beauty... has to be one of the finest automobile designs ever.

Cheers

"this was more of a test run to have a feel for the kit."  Clearly you got a good feel for it!  Beautiful work.
