Matt Bacon Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 A very challenging kit, with more teeny-tiny parts than I've ever seen in plastic before. It does all fit together very well, but I think it would have been easier if I hadn't been working from a slightly started (and slightly broken) bargain kit. However, I've got no complaints about the way it turned out: The view we're most likely to see - the "overtaking" shot" A couple from a more "realistic" perspective: Everything open: And finally, with its older brother. Only one more GTO to go, once Fujimi or Revell get their act together! All out of the box, painted with Tamiya Italian Red, polished with Novus #2. Crazy Modeller prancing horses and KA bonnet badge... bestest, M.
Peter Lombardo Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 Great looking build(s) Matt, you are right about the Fujimi kits, they are a real struggle to get right, but once built, I love their look. I like the two cars together, nice shot side by side......both are well done.
diymirage Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 i gotta tell you Matt, i have mixed feelings about this one the end result is great (though not street legal without plates ) but after seeing the engine come together in your WIP thread...well. i miss it, its a shame we cant see more of it in the finished model even with the hood up a lot of its beauty is hidden
Matt Bacon Posted May 4, 2011 Author Posted May 4, 2011 (edited) Thanks, guys... Now it's all together, I guess I understand why they provide you with a separate stand to mount the engine on to display outside the car! The trouble is it's quite a hard car to build "kerbside" - you can see the engine and especially the transmission and exhaust system pretty clearly through the holes in the back end and below the body, so they'd also need to provide duplicates, and also something to mount them on... Plates are on their way - I'm just trying to decide between M4TTB, M4TTS and M477 GTO! (I always like to do them with legal UK numbers, no matter what they "read" as) bestest, M.

roush16 Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 These are 2 beautiful models. Paint looks sweet as does the engine compartment.
Foxer Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 This is a gorgeous looking build! But, why is that guy passing on the left? .. I guess you do whatever you want in a Ferrari!
Erik Smith Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 Truly one of the most beautiful cars and your build does great justice to the design. Excellent job.
RodneyBad Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 WOW!! very sharp looking. I'll take the new one over the old one Excellent build
Matt Bacon Posted May 4, 2011 Author Posted May 4, 2011 Thanks very much for all the positive feedback, gentlemen... it's much appreciated. I think I'd have the old one - I saw a gorgeous 330 GTO up close over the weekend, and, like, WOW! bestest, M.
CEKPETHO BCE Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 (edited) 288 GTO is my all time fav car for a real and the reason is shown in that model. Wonderful car. Edited May 5, 2011 by CEKPETHO BCE
simonr Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 Hey Matt, nicely done!...I think this is my favorite Ferrari of all times. This one is in my future to do list, so, I'll be looking for a kit of this one soon. Simón P. Rivera Torres
sjordan2 Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 Perfect from everything I can see. The GTO looks awesome, too.
