spencer1984 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Built from Fujimi's Daytona Speciale kit with a few alterations to look like Sonny Crockett's ride from the first two seasons of Miami Vice. The changes include deleted wing windows, square headlights, square mirrors, and a car phone. I didn't want to go full "kit car" (as represented by the Revell kit), but I did like the idea of the car being personalized over the years. A full writeup of what went into this build is available here, any comments/criticisms are welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace-Garageguy Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) Beautiful clean build. Interesting to see kit-car elements added to a Ferrari. It's usually the other way around. I missed a real one back in the 1980s for $30K, and I've been kicking myself ever since. Edited January 17, 2019 by Ace-Garageguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phildaupho Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 In total - very well done, especially the interior and engine compartment. I like the fact that you built it to represent the illusion portrayed on TV that it was a real Daytona with a V-12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spencer1984 Posted January 25, 2019 Author Share Posted January 25, 2019 Thanks! That was such a cool scene, I just watched the pilot before starting this build and it still holds up 34 years later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was such a cool scene, I just watched the pilot before starting this build and it still holds up 34 years later. Indeed, watched the entire thing and had the flashback to childhood. Watched that show every friday night. Some iconic 80's going on there Great car build, Bill. Thanks for the nostalgia Edited January 25, 2019 by Twokidsnosleep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
