happy grumpy Posted February 29, 2024 Posted February 29, 2024 I've always found the Testarossa interesting. Popularized by Miami vice, I liked to watch the beautiful urban setting night shots of the car on music hits of the eighties. Michael Mann knew how to sell those shots. The model is from Tamiya. Impeccable fit . I chose the classic Ferrari red instead of the white depicted in the series although I would like to build another one in pearl white. This is of my favorite Ferraris alongside the 308 and earlier models. Thanks for looking. 15
Rob Hall Posted February 29, 2024 Posted February 29, 2024 Sharp build. I built the Monogram Miami Vice one as a kid in the 80s. Have the convertible kit also. Never built the Tamiya kit. I saw a sharp Testarossa at a car show this past weekend. 1
karbuildr Posted February 29, 2024 Posted February 29, 2024 Beautiful Ferrari. These cars do look good in red. And as always, your photo background is outstanding. 1
SpikeSchumacher Posted February 29, 2024 Posted February 29, 2024 Beautifully done Mario! I remember Miami Vice very well ? 1
Dentz Posted March 1, 2024 Posted March 1, 2024 Ah. Who doesn't love a Red Head? 80's Testarossa's are part of the 'naughty poster' collection for us 80's kids. I need to build another. Only have the drop top in my stable right now. Nice work! 1
Mittagskind Posted March 1, 2024 Posted March 1, 2024 Very nice Testarossa. The most beautiful Ferrari in my mind. 1
Rich Chernosky Posted March 1, 2024 Posted March 1, 2024 Mario...another masterpiece. The background, the photography, the model....all done to perfection. As a side note; you might be interested to know how the Miami vice show obtained the white Ferrari Testa Rossa. Sonny's original ride was a black Ferrari Daytona convertible that was really a fiberglas bodied Corvette. Ferrari told the producers if they destroyed that car in an episode they would donate a real Testarossa. 1
John B. Posted March 1, 2024 Posted March 1, 2024 There is someone in Sunny Isles that owns a real one identical to your model - very well done! 1
Rattlecan Dan Posted March 1, 2024 Posted March 1, 2024 Very nice build. Great looking car. Thanks for posting. 1
