StanGlover Posted December 17, 2020 Posted December 17, 2020 Here’s my Monogram Ferrari 308! It was an early release, sealed, bagged no-box kit from eBay, molded in red. It’s a curbside kit but it goes together great and has some decent detail. This was my first attempt at the Bare-Metal-Foil-before-you-paint-it technique for the emblems, and it didn’t come out great for the deck lid Ferrari script or the side Pininfarina badges. I think I’m still laying my paint on way too thick, so there wasn’t much of a raised script left to strip the paint back off. Anyways, I think it turned out well enough for my shelf, and lessons learned for the next one!
StanGlover Posted December 17, 2020 Author Posted December 17, 2020 Oh and the paint is Tamiya X-8 Lemon yellow. I primered the red plastic in black first, followed by grey primer, and then the yellow.
89AKurt Posted December 17, 2020 Posted December 17, 2020 Welcome to the forum! Yellow is a PITA to do right anyway, and that requires a bunch of paint. Think it came out fine! Keep an eye open for aftermarket logos, it's the best way to do them.
Oldcarfan27 Posted December 17, 2020 Posted December 17, 2020 Looks great! I like the finish on the wheels, takes away the toy-like appearance from the original.
Hard_2_Handle_454 Posted December 17, 2020 Posted December 17, 2020 Cool When I visited my friend in Charlotte a local business owner was using a car exactly like this one as a pizza delivery vehicle.
Spottedlaurel Posted December 17, 2020 Posted December 17, 2020 Great to see another one built. It's a basic kit with minimal parts count but the overall look of it is good and you've done a nice job with it. More than 10 years elapsed between starting and finishing mine.......
Dominik Posted December 18, 2020 Posted December 18, 2020 Nigel, i agree. I've built that Ferrari a couple times and i am always impressed, how good that kit looks. minimal parts - great afford. I like that yellow also. well done!
drodg Posted December 18, 2020 Posted December 18, 2020 Great job. Truly a beautiful car. I came out of the front door of my house this summer and there sat a red 308 that was the father of one of my neighbors. It was a fiberglass body. Interesting how small the car is. Anyhow your build is very good.
