1979 Model Factory Hiro 512BB LM Cloud car complete...

This one is in the books!!!! Typical finicky Model factory Hiro Build in the panel dept. Even after I painted it it was perfect, but during final assembly something always shifts makes me :screwy: But they really come out beautiful.....

Scale finishes Rosso Corsa Red and Cloud Grey/blue topped with PPG omni clear.

Built out of the box except I added some DM oil lines and fittings... Oh and before anyone chooses to rip me on the Tire mold lines... I sanded and sanded and sanded.... I think that some of the lines go all the way through the tires!!!!

Great detailed work.

amazing work.must be very hard to acomplish such a kit in this quality. can I ask why those 3M and nuber plate decals arent under the clear?

What a beauty. It was great seeing this one come together. Another piece to be proud of.

Your models never cease to amaze and inspire me. Beautiful finish, loads of detail and perfect execution. Awesome stuff. I'm sure Ed will be delighted. :smokin:

You forgot the tire mold lines. :lol: Maybe putting the tire on a drill next time?

I followed the wip and its nice to see this one done. Always enjoy seeing your work.

Very nicely done.

Well done!

Beautiful work and finish, and the engine looks superb. I would love to do one of this types of ferraris but the substancial bodywork metal parts and their fitting and dimesions problems added to the price tag of one of these models keep my final jump to buy it in "hold".

But yours show what a lot of hard work and finess can do in the end....again a magnificent model and modeling job.

Another beautiful model to add to your collection, thats a massive clear engine cover!! Superbly built & detailed

Can't looks at it - all I see is those ugly, horrible, pronounced mold lines on the tires!
:)))
Beautiful build Dave, what a car. Superb, as usual.

HA!!!!! And I even put them on a drill bit and sanded the crap out of them...... Then they took on this "gummy" feel to them and I did not use high speed at all. Thats when I said... Ok..... time to leave them alone now before they are sticky nubs..... :banghead:

Thanks guys... especially you Alex... you are the Ferrari connoiseur!!

Just caught up on this one and what a stunner! and a true inspiration.
Atb,Alex
