Plastheniker Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Hi, This is the old Italeri/Revell kit that seems to be OOP for quite a while. I built it 20 or 25 years ago. Built as a curbside model it is a really nice kit with only one major shortcoming: the unrealistically wide wheels. I reduced the width of the tyres and made real wire wheels. As far as I remember I detailed the interior, reworked the clumsy wipers and transferred the prancing horse and the chrome lettering on the boot lid from another kit. If you are interested in this classic Ferrari and if you can still obtain the kit I would really recommend it.

DonW Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Really beautiful, the Italian plates and I badge are so evocative. I always liked these more than most Ferraris. Well done Jürgen!
afx Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 This is my favorite Ferrari. The kits tires do let the kit down somewhat. Excellent build Jurgen.
Roger U Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 This is one of my all time favorite 1:1 cars and you built a beautiful model of it.
Kennyboy Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 You build some of the most beautiful cars Jurgen! I also love your wire wheels!! I saw your tutorial on how to do them, but I am not skilled enough to do them myself!
sjordan2 Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Another superb piece of work, Jurgen. Spectacular paint. The wire wheels are amazing and the scuffing of the tire treads is perfect.
Phildaupho Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Gorgeous model. Why oh why has the 275 GTB not been reissued? I am sure it would be an extremely popular kit.
kelson Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 This kit has been on my want list for years!,but I keep getting outbid on that auction site!beautiful looking build btw!.
Matt Bacon Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 That looks absolutely spectacular. I'm in awe of the wire wheels, especially. It is a great kit, isn't it? Also, seeing this makes me think I know where Albrecht Goertz got the proportions of the 240ZG from! bestest, M.
sjordan2 Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 I wish there were a decent large-scale kit of this in 1/16 or 1/12, The Revell 1/12 based on the Renwal should bring shame on them forever.
MrObsessive Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 That is an ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL car! I too have been trying to find one of these on the 'Bay............I want one to go with the N.A R.T Spyder that I'd like to build. Yeah Skip, this car BEGS to be done proper in a larger scale! The Revell/Renwal one is simply terrible.
Danno Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Exquisite! My favorite Ferrari of all time and this model demonstrates why!
Speedfreak Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Great job, beautiful car. Lots of people have used the word 'beautiful' to describe your build
Roncla Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 A round of applause from the Tifosi for a out standing build.
beeRS Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Simply stunning! Nice job on those wheels - well done.
