shood23 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 So i bought a revell ferrari 612 as part of a bulk buy a couple of months ago and honestly I only got it because of the other cars it came with so from then i was stuck for an idea of what to do with this car as i rate it as one of the ugliest ferraris ever made, so ther i am trawling the Web for an idea for an unrelated project and a 612 race car by some make i have never seen before popped up, the there was my solution to my problem and here is what i have done so far today (also please bear in mind I haven't done any modelling for about 3 weeks as we moved house so not every thing is set up as of yet) The box of the world's ugliest car The body with the rear bumper glued on And here is where i have started with the mods And also the bonnet is being changed from stock Also just so i dont forget one of these has been purchased from autosportmodels I am hoping for this to progess quite quickly but i suspect like some of my recent builds this will stall and i will move on to something else Shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shood23 Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 A bit more done for today and really there's not much left to do on the body side I had to fill in the number plate area and the parking sensors I also cut out a front brake cooling duct The diffuser has been started but i will make it more complex i just needed a basic one to see how it looked And the front splitter has been completed The interior will be started tonight and i will look into makeing the diffuser more pretty Shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizzwizz24 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Paint on the body looks fantastic. Nice job there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shood23 Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 Thanks pizzwizz it's just a rattle can and I must say I was quite pleased with how well it went on as normally I get really bad results with cans So on with the build While the paint cures up i have pushed on with the interior It looks rough at the moment but there is alot more to be added here I cant for the life of me understand why revell thought it would be a good idea to make the 2 parts for the dash in 2 colours but as with the rest of the car o have modded it slightly by taking off the 2 furthest out air con outlets and the bit where the cd player is will have a race screen put over it The door inners have been modified aswell, i took all the un needed bits off and filled the recess with putty so it will be a flat surface to work off of Right now most of above is being primed so i have made a start to the engine and running gear so this should progress really quick now Shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shood23 Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 A bit more done over the last couple of days The engine before the top bit goes on Now its finished The gear box The rear wheel arch, the only reason i show this is because its been sprayed with zeros semi gloss black and i am very pleased with how it works and i will be using it again I need to grind all the tread off the tyres so i can have slicks And i have removed all the nasty chrome plating off most off the bits Shaun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shood23 Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 A little more done to this car The interior is very black but once the shell is on no one will ever see it So now for a small bit of bad news, the body was sprayed with tamiya red and after a few email i was assured that zeros clear would be fine over it so i went ahead a used my normal method with zeros paint and it ate the decals and the red paint so i needs to be stripped and redone but this time with only zeros paint Shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shood23 Posted May 23, 2015 Author Share Posted May 23, 2015 Right so 5he body has been stripped and has now been painted with zeros paint though out just so there is no issues Here's the body before the clear coat Now I just need to clear it and it shouldn't be long before I can get this off my bench Shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to see it finished! Cheers Manu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
