Plastheniker Posted February 25, 2014 Share 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 Share 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afx Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 This is my favorite Ferrari. The kits tires do let the kit down somewhat. Excellent build Jurgen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger U Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 This is one of my all time favorite 1:1 cars and you built a beautiful model of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennyboy Posted February 25, 2014 Share 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjordan2 Posted February 25, 2014 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phildaupho Posted February 25, 2014 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Bacon Posted February 25, 2014 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjordan2 Posted February 25, 2014 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris White Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 that is gorgeous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrObsessive Posted February 25, 2014 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
