cmatthewbacon Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 A rather simplified kit, but it captures the shape of the most beautiful sports prototype GT car ever built... best, M. 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefr22 Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Lovely job M, really nice finish! I was only thinking the other day this kit is one of the few car kits I regret selling - I doubly regret it after seeing that beauty! Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stringbag Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 What an absolute beauty! Totally agree that this is probably the best looking sports car from the Ferrari stable Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeroenS Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Excellent! The gold rims look great on the car. How did you do the black edge around the headlights? (I have a lot of windows to do shortly, not quite sure yet how to go about it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Noble Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 (edited) Wow, stunning job on a wonderful Ferrari!!! Which gold paint did you use on the wheels? Looks perfect. I have the same kit waiting in the stash pile, if it turns out as nice as yours I'll be very happy... Edited May 27, 2018 by Steve Noble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nicely done - like that very much indeed. There was a chat at my kit-car club who had a replica 330P4, and was intending to fit a Ferrari 308 engine - wonder whatever became of that project. Now of to dig out my DVD of Le Mans , to consider that most beautiful sports prototype GT car ever built statement - I prefer the Porsche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigred Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Wow. that's a beautiful looking model. Not a car I'm familiar with, but it looks amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmatthewbacon Posted May 29, 2018 Author Share Posted May 29, 2018 Thanks very much, guys. @JeroenS I did the headlight edges with a small wedge tip Pentel black marker.. I find I can usually "hook" the tip onto one edge of the clear piece, and then vary the width of the line by tilting it more or less forward. @Steve Noble Those nice chaps at Fujimi prepainted the gold wheels for me! It's actually quite hard to match, being a slightly reddish colour, but not enough to be bronze or brass. The wheel inside the back cover is Tamiya Gold, which you'd notice if you saw them all together! @theplasticsurgeon and lets not forget the Ford GT40, MkIV, Lola T70, 917 Langheck, and Alfa Tipo 33/2 best, M. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco F. Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Fantastic, what a beauty.😍 A couple of weeks ago I was able to get one secondhand. I will now order the right paint for it. Because of your WIP and the Gallery pictures I took a closer look to my kit and I had to notice that the instruction sheet is incomplete.... Step 5 up to step 10 is missing...🙄 Is there anybody who can help me out? Thanks a lot in advance Cheers Marco F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spad Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 (edited) Lovely job and yes definitely the best looking Ferrari in my opinion but I also go with the 917(K) as my fave! Simplified,,,,so an easy build?Hope so as I have one of these to go at sometime soon! Thanks for showing, it's a beauty - now need to go find the WIP Cheers Rick Edited November 16, 2019 by Spad spelling! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapam Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Definitely a most beautiful sports car! In fact it makes the Ferrari FXX K look rather unattractive by comparison! Awesome build work on both, though! 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
