HIRO LeMans Couple 1961 Ferrari 250swb & Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato

Hello community,
it's been quite a while.............

Let me show you the results of my latest efforts, the miniatures of two fantastic and impressive race cars, real brute and loud, just imagine their sounds! Both HIRO kits, the Ferrari 250swb being a challenge which i never had before, the Aston came quite well and was "easier" to built.
Lots of parts scratched, e.g. the chrome rings in the Ferrari cocpit, the ignition plugs of the Aston engine.....by the way, the engine of the DB4 is one of the most impressive ones i've ever built! What a machine! Beautiful. For sure not only the engine, the DB4 Zagato is one of my new favorites, the colour took me some hours to mix until it was satisfying and looked OK in scale.

So here we go.

.....oh, damned, i just see that they are dirty and unwashed, SORRY.......
I had no time for cleaning them up.

All the best,
Yours

Wow, Jochen. You leave me speechless again. I love both cars and your models are superb miniatures!

Now I've got to get back to studying the photographs.

Two beautiful builds. The weathering looks fantastic

They look incredibly cool. :)

The exact very high quality builds that I was expecting, with the same impressive weathering ! :thumbsup:

Wow! They look awesome!

Both look increible! What is the black spot on the front quarter quards of the Zagato? It looks like its not on the model & has been added in photoshop or something?

Very nice, good to see someone brave enough to weather a beautifully finished model :cool:

Very nice work!

Very cool indeed! Love the weathering on both!

very brave to dirty up such a cracking pair of models. great stuff.

Amazing models for sure!!.. very nice weathering.. very nice built.. but one thing came to my mind.. why the cars are so dirty and the engine are so clean :)

Beautiful works, well done and you choose two georgeus cars.

Those look absolutely awesome.

Amazing build, surely I don´t have the guts to wheather that pair of expensive beauties...

Excellent builds. :thumbsup: Can you share how you made the running stains coming from the gas cap?

Hi Jochen,

nice to see something new from you.

Great building and the weathering....:naughty:

Sascha

Great lookin builds!

Two fantastic builds.
The weathering looks totally spot-on. But I already noticed you had a good eye for that with your DBR9 previously.

I particularly like the Aston. Great model, great execution. All those small details are just brilliant.

:eek2:Amazing... You should post them seperately so I can say twice...:eek2:

...Simply touching...

R :smile:

Both great models, love the SWB particularly. I've built the DB4GTZ and as you say the engine is just wonderful.

Superb builds in every respect.

Regards

Ron

Amazing weathering, I wouldn't be brave enough!

Beautiful builds and you realy do some great weathering in your models!!

What is the black spot on the front quarter quards of the Zagato? It looks like its not on the model & has been added in photoshop or something?

It's a hole (air vent?) that is supposed to be there. Not photoshopped, it is included in model.
