Jeff Johnston Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 This is the recent release of the Academy "European Classic Car" kit which is essentially the Italieri kit, and the same as was released as a Testors kit back in the 80s. No Ferrari decals come in this kit but I had a photo etch fret and some Ferrari decals that I bought from Ebay (even though I only needed th nose decal). This is straight box stock meaning no extra details added except the Ferrari script and node decal. The paint is Testors gloss Red Lacquer mixed with dept store lacquer thinner and and cleared with decanted Testors Wet Look clear.

DonW Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 Very good looking model. Do any of the body panels open? If so, can we see more pictures please?
sjordan2 Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 Great job. A few more pictures including tighter interior shots would be welcome.
Force Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 Very nice, one of my favourite Ferraris since the movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
om617 Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 Nice looking Ferrari. I was not aware of these Academy kits are old Italeri,good info.
unclescott58 Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 Very nice. I seem to like any Ferrari that has the name California attached to it. Scott
Nacho Z Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 Very nice, Jeff. Looks to be an extremely clean build. Great job!
unclescott58 Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 I would have sworn I comment on this one? Scott
karbuildr Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 Always liked this car. Very nice build, all Ferrari's seem to look good in red.
