Alpha Model Ferrari 1/24 SF-90

[Madhatter]

hey everyone

I've been a bit quite on the forum content lately due to a lack of mojo but I am slowly but definitely coming out of it

This is one of 3 projects (4 if you count the on-going SD build) that I've had on the back burner and this one in particular has given me such a headache. Not because of the quality of the kit - far from it. What you're seeing in front of you is the 6th and final paint job. Yes, I stripped it back to bare resin  5 times prior to now because of various paint malfunctions caused by myself various paint issues (lifting mostly) and some outright clumsiness. But, it's done and I can now concentrate on finalising my first scratch built space fighter as well as my 1/350 Bismarck. Once they're done, I MIGHT go back to the mind numbing task of threading fibers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, that's it really.  Its a great kit, goes together beautifully as you would expect!

As always, thanks for stopping in and having a look

See you all soon

Excellent work Sir (y)

[ChrisR]

LOOKS GREAT!!

[Yeah Nah]

Wow! Super job on this.

[Madhatter]

Thanks, everyone, for the encouraging posts. These pictures do not really do the colour any justice. It was a cloudy day today but in the sun, this looks so much different. I'll take some better pics when the sun comes back out in a few days

[ncbuckeye67]

That is beautiful! Your hard work and patience paid off.

[Hi-Po]

Beautifully done with great paint work and detailing.

[happy grumpy]

Obviously, you definitely nailed the last paint job because it looks like the real deal. Your hard work paid off. Great looking car.

[SpikeSchumacher]

Stunning!

Like Spike said above! ?

Wish those kits weren't so expensive.

[Madhatter]

thank you guys I had it looking way better than this at one point but being true to myself, I somehow managed to ingrain a massive glue thumb print into the roof AND the bonnet - completely ruining it. It very nearly became the first ever Ferrari jet car but I reined in the disappointment and rage and started again.

Yes, they are very expensive and quite the limiting factor for many - me included. Still, I'd like to have bought the Alfa Romeo Quadrafoglia before they stopped making them. Same for the Mclaren 720. Oh well, that's life

[Jim B]

Awesome looking Ferrari!

[karbuildr]

Beautiful, just truly stunning build.

[Nacho Z]

An absolutely stunning model!  Bravo!

[Dragonhawk1066]

Wow! Very nice!

[Chuckyg1]

I really like this. Great build. I keep going back to soak up all the interior and engine details. Great paint work.

[Madhatter]

thanks fellas. I forgot to take pics of the interior with the seat belts attached but everyone can guess what they'd look like: seat belts

[Madhatter]

The sun just came out, so I took the opportunity to take a couple of pics to really show just how nice the colour actually is.

[kelson]

Beautiful!!, have a couple of their kits in my stash,my only real complaint with their kits is the tires always just seem a little undersized to me.

Absolutely beautiful
