Sabrejet Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 This is the MFH 1/24 Ferrari 488 GTE of Clearwater Racing, Le Mans 2017. I saw this car at the 2017 Silverstone WEC round and loved the colour scheme. Though I am also a fan of the Risi and JMW schemes, when MFH released this version, it was a done deal. It's a resin body/white metal details curbside kit but still has a LOT of detail, right down to individual PE panel fasteners and bonnet latches. Paint is Zero Paints' Clearwater Racing set. And the sun came out! 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmatthewbacon Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 That looks fantastic -- fabulous build of a beast of a car, and the colour scheme is really different, in a good way... best, M. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Brown Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Beautiful build!!! It looks like a great kit. I wish I had the budget for one. We need more kits of current GT cars like this. Ben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry1954 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 That's an absolute beauty Duncan. I've started to look at Car kits myself lately and discovered MFH. Was gobsmacked at the content (and price) of their 1/12 offerings (one day maybe!) and saw that the 1/24 range is also incredible when it comes to detail. A very inspiring build!

Terry Yes I have one of the 1/12 kits in long-term build and aside from parts count it's BIG! I've built a number of MFH kits and love them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neddy Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 As others have already said, the engine bay is a real achievement. Great looking kit all round, well done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyChiken Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 I can see why you liked the livery, really cool build. Curbside are fine when you have a window to the engine bay, looks great! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
