1959scudetto Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 (the other is the 250 GT/L Lusso), and my best car model that I have ever built (up to now). I made this about 20 years ago for a customer who owns the real thing - so each and every part is painted according to his instructions like his 1:1 Dino, from the underbody to the spark plug cables and the oil filter, suspension parts and windshield wipers. I used 2 Fujimi Enthusiast kits - from the 2nd one I took the engine to place it alongside the car. Unfortunately the pics are lousy - I have only color prints which I photographed with my digital camera. This has to be my most detailed kit ever: lots of bare metal foil, photo-etched scripts and parts from Replicas and MIniatures of Maryland and painted in Ferrari Giallo Fly (original yellow). It was no easy task to put the motor/transmission into the chassis and finally the body over the whole thing - but very rewarding. The only flaw is that the front hood does not fit flush with the body, but nevertheless the owner was very pleased with the final result. I will build this one for myself again - I have still 4 in my stash (1 missing its engine) - now on to the pics!

peekay Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 Yes, one of the best looking Ferraris and you did a great job. Always nice to see one in "another" colour, too.
1959scudetto Posted May 5, 2015 Author Posted May 5, 2015 thanks guys, for the kind words! If only somebedy would release a 250 GT Lusso... (like Tamiya did with the 300 SL)
Harry P. Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 The photos are good enough to see that you have one beautiful model there!

om617 Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 Very nice Dino. It`s close to as pretty as the Bizzarini 5300 GT
