Ferrari 612 Scaglietti Duobuild

[Tompidom]

The chevelle was finished, so I thougt lets go euopean this time. My search for a new build ended in Italie.

I chose the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti. But then the special 15.000 Red Miles car.
When i took the box out of the stash i still had not decides wich one i wanted to build, silver or red...... But that did not take to long. I had anohter 2 612 kits in the stash. So I took out another 612 kit and now I am building Both the Silver and Red car.

Both body´s were warped, so I had to straighten them out. I did this with a hair dryer and some small bends being very carefull not toe break the body´s

After that i started on the window´s. Masked them off and painted them flat black

When that was all done i started on the interior tubs. Thet missed a lot of details that the real car has. So i started drilling filing and bending the mesh, cutting tube and gleuing strips of styrene.







They may not be the prittiest vents but I´m happy with the way they turned out.

Sanded down the mold lines an roughed up the body´s, then it was off to the painters(oke fine the shed :mrgreen: )

How cool - two simultaneous builds. Looking good so far!

[Tompidom]

Sorry guy's no more 15.000 Red miles livery's. I was putting on the decals on the firt car, and almost every decal i placed broke on 15.000 pieces separating miles apart.(gotta keep the humor up right??)

So instead ill build them as i want them to be. One will be 100% stock in red and the other will be grey with some costum touches and maybe some new wheels
