MrObsessive Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 I'll be tuned into this one! ❤️ I just finished a 3D file to print of this car...........I too have the MFH Ferrari 330 LMB----essentially the racing version of this car. Dunno when I'll build that one, but my 3D file I'll be printing when the weather gets warmer. The room I print in is a bit too chilly now as there's no heat vent in the old house I'm in, and to keep a space heater running constantly in the room is too expen$ive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre Rivard Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Wow Bruce, so many gorgeous MFH builds... sensory overload! Out of my league from a skills standpoint but tons of fun following your work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sold my Dino some time ago, have a 308GTB now, still love it too, and it's NOT red! Ciao! I love this car, I have worked on the bodies of these cars at Newport Imports in Newport Beach California. Great fun cars! I sat in them all the time because they were just sexy than anything. A Ferrari hits all your senses. Looks, feel, and smell. Only a handful of cars can do that for me and this is one of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your black car is fantastic but I will never get tired of a Ferrari being red. Your a lucky man to have that car! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brudda Posted January 28, 2023 Author Share Posted January 28, 2023 I am having a difficult time deciding a color. I was thinking of a silver blue with a red interior. Fly yellow was on my mind but it’s not a luxury color to me. More of an exciting race color. Maroon is also a color I am thinking of. Red is still on the reserved list. Have to look into yellow as David Lee has one and it looks pretty good. Steve McQueen had one but it was a brown metallic that I forgot the name of. Not really exciting on a model. But I might play with that. Difficult decision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too was very intimidated by hiro kits, but if you take each step as a complete model, one step at a time , it’s good. A lot of patience it takes. And I have sometimes had to redo an assembly 5-10 times. Or you can be like Chris Smith and jump right into it and things come out great. He is an incredible guy. Not afraid of no mfh kit. Him and my friend Mark are exceptions to the rule, as us mere mortals, I have to take it one step at a time. Sir definitely not out of your league.

curt raitz Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Love watching people build MFH models...I have built a few and just started on this one I picked it up the NNL West last June. I opened it up over a month ago and the photo-etch parts are missing. I have contacted MFH about replacing them, but have not got a response. Any help would greatly be appreciated, thank you "Keep on Building" 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I should watch and learn and get convinced to take one of these on. Is there a sales outlet in North America or ordering form Japan the only source?

I do not know how he does it but he likes it. He said great service and it only takes a week to get your model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brudda Posted January 28, 2023 Author Share Posted January 28, 2023 The grill opening has been fixed. Most people would have left it but I could not. Going to polish the grill surround next week. In my polisher. Going to fit headlamps, bumpers and cut out the glass to see how that fits. Need to do this. Mfh has suprises everywhere. Going to prime soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roncla Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 I've got this kit in my stash and am following along closely to see if there are any issues so I will be forewarned. I've been buying direct from MFH website and found they are quick and efficient with my purchases arriving in sturdy packaging. I've earmarked my one to be painted Verde Pino. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brudda Posted January 29, 2023 Author Share Posted January 29, 2023 Primed. Now I have to decide what color. Going to build the wheels next. I did scribe the body. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

250 Testa Rossa Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Beautiful build. I would suggest painting it in Marrone Metallizato, which was the color of the Lusso owned by Steve McQueen. Car had tan interior and a California black plate with the number IFC 007. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yah, I was talking to Paul also and he said the same...I'm trying to contact MFH, but no response, yet. It was good talking to you as well. I'm enjoying your build, c'ya!

Brudda Posted January 30, 2023 Author Share Posted January 30, 2023 The body is just so sexy. For a mfh kit it’s pretty easy so far. Should not have said that…..it’s a mfh kit and has suprises. Color is going to be the tough decision on this one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89AKurt Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 I found a nail 'polish' hoping it was close to the teal on that particular Lusso. Anything other than red, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
