1/16 Ferrari Testarossa berlinetta

[Rich Chernosky]

The second car in my series of Fujimi 1/16 kits  (1 more to go)  This is the berlinatta  (coupe) version of my last post.  Link is here 1/16 Ferrari Testarossa spyder - Model Cars - Model Cars Magazine Forum.  Both cars had the same chassis and I did all three of those at once.  Which accounts for the speed of this build.  Although, this is one of those kits that fought me to the bitter end. Details in the captions. Color on this is Tamiya LS50 Bright red.  Thanks for looking and comments welcome. 

Finished product. None of the glass really fit. Much grinding, filing and sanding allowed them to finally fit flush. Front hood was a ;little better than the spyder but still warped and required some special pins to hold it down.

Interior was just as well appointed and I used the same colors just changed it up a little. Dor was alsoi fitted with magnets.

Rear end and particulr the engine cover gave me fits. Hinge had to be replaced with metal as the kit one was probably made of toilet paper.  This piece was also slightly warped and once again required pins to hold it in place. It still opens and the engine is the same as the spyder. Rear glass was also problematic.

  I am really glad this one is done.  It looks good in the case next to the spyder and both reds are very close.  Thanks for looking.

Cooler than the other side of the pillow.

I would love to have the entire EM series on my shelf. But I also want to keep my sanity.

Looks great, and I hear ya on the fitment struggles...sometimes it feels good just getting it done! Im fighting a 1/12 Mercedes Gullwing right now...and next is the Ferrari Testarossa Belinetta...after that I might switch to Legos or coloring books! (lol)
