IJ001 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 After a l-o-n-g gestation period, finally finished the Esci Ferrari. Definitely not my best work but whilst 50% of that is down to my lack of skills, the other 50% is down to the poor quality of the kit itself. That said, if you want an 'affordable' 1:24 'Berlinetta' on your shelf as much as I did, then this is pretty much the only way to go unless you are lucky enough to stumble upon an Italeri or Gunze kit. Ok, enough yada, yada, yada on to the pics: Thanks for taking the time to look, criticise and/or comment. Not sure what my next car build will be, but the Revell 458 Italia is looking very, very tempting, but then so is the AMT/Ertl '67 Comet !! AFN Ian.

Funkychiken Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Looks fine to me, it's how my kits turn out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrKerry Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I see your hood fit like garbage too huh?? I did a lot of work to mine to get the hood flat, on the other hand mine is just a shelf model and was a handful too!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dann Tier Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 First time I've seen this kit built-up, other than the hood it looks nice to me! Q: did you lower the ride hight, or is that the way this kit came? I like it!, usually kits have to be lowered to get the right look. I like this build, keep up the good work!!

Snake45 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 You are inspiring me to drag mine out of the Snakepit and get to work on it. And I noticed last week that Hobby Lobby has Testor Italian Red in the can, too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philo426 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Yes sir!I built that one too,and even though the body is a little distorted it does have a certain charm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No didn't lower the suspension - think that would be just 'wrong' on a Ferrari - The floor pan etc simply snuggled-in quite deep to the body shell, also explains how the hood was pushed-up to where it is now Ian.
