Ferrarifan Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 (edited) After more than 2 years of built time it a pleasure to present the pics of the finished 1/8 Ferrari Testarossa. The car is based on the kit which was release from Pocher more than 30 years ago. I used several Transkit( Transkit Modelcar, AMG, Tremonia,…) and a lot of parts from Top Studios, Autograph, Scaledetails,… I spent hundreds of hours just studying the technical documentation of Ferrari and viewing pics available on internet to make the car as realistic as possible and I added even the smallest detail. A lot of these changes were built from scratch. Just to mention a view of the changes: - realistic side fins and air inlet - realistic hood open and locking mechanism - super detailed engine with a detailed injection unit, all additional units, waterpipes, oil pipes, air pipes, wiring harness - fuel tank with fuel pumps, filters and lines - entire interior covered with leather - super detailed displays and center console - glove compartment, radio cover and center compartment to be opened - sun visors - realistic underbody - suspension and brakes with all brake lines - realistic front air intake and rear air outlet - Horn and windshield washer container - Brake fluid reservoir, batterie and main fuse box Further I added fully functioning lighting with automatic pop up lights, a sound module with realistic sound, remote control and the complete toolset and luggage. To increase the realism even more, I aged and weathered the underbody with the suspension and the lower engine section. For those who are interested. I have also made a video. Looking forward to your replies! best regards Ferraifan Edited May 3 by Ferrarifan Picture missing 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brudda Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 This is fantastic. The research alone had to be very time consuming. I have this kit and you have made a racehorse out of a donkey. The kit needs sooo much attention to everything. For a pocher kit it is very sparse. To get this model to the level you built it had to be tough. And the lights! Very cool! Man , you did a lot of work on this kit. Totally incredible. Great job on this build. Amazing just amazing! The leatherwork is incredible. Paintwork fantastic, details very realistic. Cannot say enough. Is there a wip article? I have a lot to learn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
