1965 Ferrari 275 GTB

[Scale-Master]

1/43^rd scale resin kit.

That turned out spectacular Mark.

Fantastic  model of one of my favorite Ferraris, Mark!

I've never built in this scale, let alone in resin, so I went and dug up the WIP on this build (well worth reading) to see what all was involved in its coming together.  And now I know.  

As the WIP thread demonstrates, this kit, with its low parts count, will require your "A" game to get great results.  Even with good body prep, things like paint thickness can affect small but important aspects like headlight cover placement, while tiny (1/10 of an inch) driving lights will need to be carefully placed and 1/43 P/E wiper arms will need to be bent to shape.  

All in all, I'd say this is another small scale jewel.

Ahhh, you're making me want to build one of my 1/87th resin kits now Monty...

 

Thanks all for the kind words in both threads pertaining to this one!
