1/24 Ferrari Testa Rossa

[Gluebomber]

Below are some pics of the Hasegawa Ferrari Testa Rossa.  I added the KA detail set which included turned aluminum rims, exhaust ends, and carb intakes, along with many p/e parts.  I wired the engine and added some scratchbuilt wire looms and coils.  The seats were piped with red wire.  Paint is Tamiya Spray Italian Red (TS-8) which was decanted, mixed with Gunze Levelling Thinner, and airbrushed.  

This was an excellent kit that went together very well and while the KA set included some microscopic p/e parts, I think what I was able to use added a lot to the model.  Unfortunately, both have been out of production for a while and, when you can find them, they're going for crazy prices.  Hopefully, they'll both be re-released before too long.

I hope you like the pictures and any comments and constructive criticism are welcome.  Thanks for looking!

Absolutely gorgeous model. The paint still looks wet!

You have convinced me this one needs to go on my wish list. I don't think I could approach the result you have achieved but would sure want to try!
