2009 Ferrari California (closed)

[Mr. Can Am Garage]

I finished this one about three weeks ago and I can truthfully say that it was the easiest build I ever had of a Revell of Germany car kit.

Paint is Tur De France Blu with a Rosso interior, both from Scale Finishes.

I made one small modification to the kit and that was to lower the ride height at the front end.

Nice work

Blue/red is a great combo in Euro subjects

Looking good. Out of curiosity, do RoG Ferrari kits have generic-sidewall tires too?

Thanks and this one does. I don't recall about the earlier ones like the Ferrari America (?).

Out of curiosity, do RoG Ferrari kits have generic-sidewall tires too?

Yep, they're generic. Revell USA seems to be the worst at making them so generic at times that they don't look like real tires.

The Tamiya GTR and DBS tires are the same, they're generic, but they do have a nicely molded low-profile "rim protector" lip that is common on modern hi-po tires.

The Aoshima Mercedes AMG SL63 does have some small Michelin logos on the sidewalls.

Looks good John!

Not sure why I am more partial to the closed version than the open.

I can't wait for the 458 to come out and see where Revell is at. The kits just keep getting better.
