curt raitz Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 Purty much built straight out of the box...just added plug wires, etc. Kit was given to me by Raul Perez with the body pre-painted, so finally got a round to building it nice old kit, excellent detail and went together fairly well thanx for lookin'...
The Creative Explorer Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 quite impressive for this kit. I've build it too, I need to say that the quality of the kit was poor. ( or it was my modelling skills....hahaha) I love it, job well done!
Zoom Zoom Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 Very cool, one of my all-time favorite Ferraris. Mine got a bit closer to being built when I recently received a new set of road wheels/knockoffs/tires from Harold Bradford/Historic Racing Miniatures. I'd have been happy with the wheels alone, but the tires are so much nicer than the kit tires. Here's a photo if anyone is interested (ignore the wheels on the left; the photo shows what I found at our NNL in November):
ismaelg Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 Beautiful job as usual! A great rendition of a great Ferrari. Well done!
Raul_Perez Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 ...Kit was given to me by Raul Perez with the body pre-painted, so finally got a round to building it... So that's what I did with that old kit! The older I get, the less I seem to remember where I put/left things! I'm glad to see that it got finished!! It sure looks a lot better than I thought it would!! Keep up the GREAT work!! Later,

I love this one, and the red is classic, fantastic job, looking great.
crispy Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 I have to echo everyone else's sentiments. Nice job! One of my favorite classic Ferrari's. Chris
Raul_Perez Posted December 6, 2008 Posted December 6, 2008 ...Given to him? Nice!... Sure...what are friends for???
MonoPed Posted December 6, 2008 Posted December 6, 2008 Nice build!! Am I the only one wishing Italeri would start re-popping all those front engined Ferrari kits again? Especially the 250SWB and California Spyder...

Later, Yeah, you threw in the SWB 250 as well...hope to finish that one soon as well thanx
Raul_Perez Posted December 6, 2008 Posted December 6, 2008 Yeah, you threw in the SWB 250 as well...hope to finish that one soon as well thanx You got that one, too!!?? OMG!! What was I thinking??
Zoom Zoom Posted December 6, 2008 Posted December 6, 2008 Yeah, you threw in the SWB 250 as well...hope to finish that one soon as well thanx Wow...now that's even better If it's the Italeri...it's the best styrene SWB made (Esci/AMT awful, Gunze is kind of odd). Only issued once, so it's scarce. I finally scored one recently for a very attractive price at our NNL.

Only issued once, so it's scarce. I finally scored one recently for a very attractive price at our NNL. Yeah...I'm pretty sure it was the Italeri kit. I got tired of building box stock models and gave a bunch of them away to a couple of my good friends, Hossain and Curt. I knew that they would build them well, and I wasn't wrong. Later,
Aaronw Posted December 6, 2008 Posted December 6, 2008 Very nice, I really like the early style Ferraris.
cotto Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 Nice rendition of a classic, you did great on this, congrats!
curt raitz Posted December 25, 2008 Author Posted December 25, 2008 Thanks for all the positive comments, guys I also wish they'd reissue these kits again...they are nice kits I was thrilled when Raul dumped both of'em in my lap almost a'feared to build the SWB Ferrari 250 now...didn't realize it was so rare thanx
Raul_Perez Posted December 25, 2008 Posted December 25, 2008 ...almost a'feared to build the SWB Ferrari 250 now...didn't realize it was so rare... Remember this, my old friend, todays "rare" kit is tomorrow's reissued $5 special at Big Lots! So build it, enjoy it and proudly post it here when you're done. Later,
