FujimiLover Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 (edited) Why 3 mirrors? Very simple and I'll tell you why, and I hope before you start glueing theme on. The Testarossa used in the TV show Miami Vice, as that kit is built for, had only one mirror that was mounted up higher on the A-pilar than the normal pair of mirrors. The pair of mirrors should be identical to each other and they fit at the corner of the window frame where most mirror's are located. If you look really carefully, particularly the instructions should provide this info, one mirror will look odd. If so, that odd mirror will be the single mirror that is placed mid-way up the A-pilar as it did in the TV show. I must admit, I've never seen this kit before and never worked on one so I can't honestly be sure if all three mirrors are identical or if there is one odd one. Just my assumption. Just take a hard look at all three mirrors to be sure. Edited July 3, 2009 by FujimiLover

FujimiLover Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 The construction of this Testarossa is very similar to the Fujimi's Koenig version! Except the Koenig did not have any "springs" in the suspension system. It look's like a very complex model to build and I'd be nervous of doing one of these kits! I've always loved the white Testarossa as seen in the show, and that is how I'd build mine. Look's awesome so far!
moonlite5hadow Posted July 5, 2009 Posted July 5, 2009 wow, i feel dumb for not realizing ferrari had flat 12's in some of their cars. that alone has lead me to want to build this kit, not to mention your hard work. i decided against it for so long cause it was "Miami Vice Version" and Vice was before my generation, so i assumed big rims, and almost a donk ferrari. i might replace the wheels, cause those would go awesome on my 240z.
Lownslow Posted July 5, 2009 Posted July 5, 2009 nice shade of blue, seen too many in normal ferrari colors
