Bryce Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 This is a Tamiya kit built straight out of the box. I painted it ‘windsor’ blue auto lacquer from a rattle can. I wasn’t a big fan of the body colour headlight buckets, so gave them a lick of Alclad over flat black for a brushed metal look. My only major gripe with this kit was the lack of seat backs. I was also a little disappointed with the limited amount of travel in the engine cover hinge. Makes it very difficult to get a look at the engine in the finished model. I probably would have ditched the hinges or made some new ones if I’d known beforehand. I also reckon it wouldn’t be too much to ask for some chrome plated headlight and taillight buckets. I backed mine with kitchen foil in order to get some kind of reflection – they would be pretty dull with nothing behind them. They didn’t supply any number plate decals either – rather annoying!

kyledr330 Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 What a great looking color! I love it! Now I may have to go get this kit now. This one Ferrari I do not have in my collection, thanks for the good pictures also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John E. Bowers Jr. Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I would have to shout that "you nailed this one". I have this kit in the stash waiting for me to get to, but after seeing this one it might not have to wait too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
