PROGRESS: 612 Scaglietti

A few days ago i went to a local hobby store an was very happy to get the last kit the had :eek7:

This kit doesn´t match the Tamiya quality, as Revell-Germany hoped to do, but it´s quite nice an well molded.

Yes, i know there are to many other unfinished projects, but i couldn´t resist starting this Ferrari. :icon16:
Here are some pics of the engine:

Please tell me what you think so far!? :iceslolan

very sweet engine there ! :D

Nice start!!

Hope to see some prog. on the R5 Turbo soon.....

Hi,

I saw all parts of the kit in another thread. That didn´t look bad and your engine looks great, too.
Nevertheless I don´t think - like you - that the Revell AG will reach the level of Japanese Car model manufacturers, as they said.

I´m looking forward to see what the wheels will look like in the wheel wells.

Micha

Already good looking to me!

What colour are you planning to spray it?

Oh and good luck!

Olivier

nice start off the (cylinder) blocks! :)

are you going for an out of the box or detail build? Also interested in your choice of body colour. heard that the mftcr reco is a complicated mix of 4 colours?!?!

keep up the good work!!

Meh, the exact colour of the Blue I don't know , but IMO it comes close to light metallic blue, or some mica over silver...

I m just saying that in case you might be willing to makeing a blue one,
I know I m not!

Oli

looking good ;D

Nice :smokin:

Great progress...

I see the decal on the air box, is the pony on the intake a decal as well?
:p

nice engine! Which color is the Scaglietti going to have. You seem to be the first one building the Scaglietti. So go ahead and finish first!

how did u make the silver lines on the red heads?

Looks good! What did you pay for it?

Good job so far :thumbsup:

Thanks! :biggrin:
Got only a few minutes for a little update.
I hope i don´t disappoint you, because its going to be a red one.

I will answer all questions later, when i have more time. :smokin: I´m in a hurry right now, sorry.

Yikes! Those oversized wheel opening lips really stand out now that it's painted.

Nice work, red looks good on it.

Looks great :naughty: in red........er orange !?!
Good work.

Mike :sunglasse

Hope to see some prog. on the R5 Turbo soon.....
I won´t make any promises ;), but i hope to continue it soon.

are you going for an out of the box or detail build?
It will be an nearly OOB- build. I think i will add some etched parts from a "Hase"-kit.

I see the decal on the air box, is the pony on the intake a decal as well?
:p
Sadly they are all decals. I´m still searching for some etched horses. Do you know any?

how did u make the silver lines on the red heads?
I used a thick brush, little paint and stroke it transversal over the lines.

Looks good! What did you pay for it?
17 Euros.

Sadly they are all decals. I´m still searching for some etched horses. Do you know any? .

Replicas and Miniatures of Maryland have some great PE shhets with various ferrari badges and horses. They don't have a website but there's a thread somewhere on this forum with a copy of their catalogue. If you cna't find it, PM me and i'll email what I have.

Little progress on the Scaglietti. I was really busy the last few days, because my 1:1 car needed new brakes all around :rolleyes:

http://www.arcor.de/palb/alben/61/1561/3234313064363136.jpg
It´s very sad that the most of the nice details will be covered later.
I treated the whole exhaust with Alclad2 and used cigarette foil for the heat shield above.

http://www.arcor.de/palb/alben/61/1561/6665306439306539.jpg

The "two in one"- molded pipes were seperated. Looks much better to me. :sunglasse

http://www.arcor.de/palb/alben/61/1561/3638303131303466.jpg
It´s the first time i used Alclad. I also tried to give the headers their typical heat discoloration.
As you can see, the headers do not really fit to the exhaust. :disappoin
Everyone who´s going to build this kit, should bend them a bit up befor painting.

@klutz
You´ve got a PM :iceslolan

Very nice progress, and you're absolutely right about the details on the underside, once you put the protector plates on it, it's all been for nothing, all those nice details, for instance, the rear differential is just gone, no way you can see transmission either, ah, well, the most important is to know it's there for yourself, isn't it?

good looking progress, and keep on making those little improvements !

Olivier

...well, the most important is to know it's there for yourself, isn't it?

:lol: You´re absolutely right, that´s the only way to handle it.
- and thanks. :smokin:

looking good! waiting for the next update

I wish I can get my head (airbrush) around heat discolouration :(

Why don't you and Bigfrit build a workshop diorama, put the Scagis up on a jack then you can leave teh protector plates off and we can see all your work :)?

Media mix has a very nice ferrari PE set (a decal set as well).
Ferrari PE (http://www.mediamixhobby.com.sg/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=1515)
I would consider these a must have for anyone building modern ferrari's.
:p

@ TR

Thanks! That´s even better!


Very bad news: I polished trough the red paint. :banghead: :banghead:
I´ll try to fix it and hope to show you some progress soon.

I was quite busy the last time, so only little progress right now.
I´m still trying to save my red paint and started working on the interior.
The back of the seats for example, are not like they should be. At the left you see the corrected one, on the right the revell seat.

As long as i have to save money for the expensive and nice etched horses :icon16: i have to make my own.

Hope you like it. Thanks for looking.

:bigthumb:

hitchcock said "start the movie with an earthquake and then keep growing the suspense" - you started with a seatback and then cast a PONY!!!

Excellent stuff. Now TELL ME HOW YOU MADE THE PONY PLEEEEEEASE

steven

superb progress, this is looking so good!

oli

- you started with a seatback and then cast a PONY!!!
Less Hitchcock and more Tarantino :smokin: :lol:


Now TELL ME HOW YOU MADE THE PONY PLEEEEEEASE

I took some plasticine, pushed the grille into it and poured some resin in the created form (you see on the left).
After that i only had to do some work with a knife and some sanding to make it thinner.

Dear Mr. Tarantino,

Thank you!

Kindest regards,

Roaman Polanski :naughty:


cheers. stevenski

Interior is nearly finished! It was very hard to get some brown flocking around here and unfortunately the one i got is much too rough and thick.

http://www.arcor.de/palb/alben/61/1561/6332663336393361.jpg

I used TS46 "Sand" with a semi-gloss top coat.
http://www.arcor.de/palb/alben/61/1561/1024_6532313536336132.jpg

Maybe i´m going to add some seat-belts. Looks a bit naked now. :loser:

Looks nice! I'm am doing the same kit now and tomorrow will start to work on interior. It will have color scheme like yours :)

great job on the interior. what color did you use?

Lookin good, keep it up...

nice work! looking forward to seeing more.
Progress report on mine: now out of the plastic bags :)
stevenski

Thanks!

what color did you use?

TS46 "Sand" with a semi-gloss top coat, as i already said. ;) The rest is flat black and chrome silver

@Mr Stevenski
Don´t rush anything! Every step should be well considered! :evillol:

Beautiful Interior:)

After i lost my instructions:newburn: , i finally could make some progress on the 612. Big thanks again to Olivier (bigfrit) for his quick help! :cheers:

http://www.arcor.de/palb/alben/61/1561/3566646363366163.jpg

Luckily i could fix my paint problem. It´s ts-8 all over again, no primer is shining through it anymore. :grinno:
I lowered the front about 1.5mm, removed the chrome from the wheels and sprayed them silver. The brake disks are drilled and painted with alclad stainless steal. The tires were much too glossy and so i gave them a light sanding.
The wheel connection is build oob, i only made the inner spokes a bit smaller and painted them flat-black. On this picture they are still visible, but normally you won´t notice it anymore.

http://www.arcor.de/palb/alben/61/1561/6533626335373739.jpg

Seat-belts were added with the help of some textile tape. I rubbed down the adhesive layer and cut it in small stripes. The seat harness is made in the same way as the horses, copied from Marui´s 308 GTB.

http://www.arcor.de/palb/alben/61/1561/3261636538323931.jpg

Now i will enjoy doing the final work. Not very much left i think.

Thanks for looking! :wave:

good job! nicely detailed.

Where did you put the resin pony BTW? :)

Thank you! :) The pony is not glued on yet. Needs some alclad finish. All little details on the body will follow now. The paint job took quite a lot of time. It´s still not completely dry, yet.

By the way, i forgot to say: The rear brake calipers needed to be turned around about 180 degrees to be correct and the rear track width is a bit too big. The wheels will stand out if you build it oob.

nice!
i have bought this car just now.
A very good kit!
but i m not sure about the headlight.
hope to see it soon!^^

What color paint is that???? Look's nice. Personally, I would've chosen Powder Blue, because I saw a 612 pass by in powder blue, and ever since, I've loved that color. Keep up the work and the details!! ;)! Lookin' sweet!

Wow! Can´t believe it´s so long ago i posted here the last time.
Well, a small update:

The front grille which came with the kit was too thick in my eyes. So i took some sheet and made a new one.
http://foto.arcor-online.net/palb/alben/61/1561/3233336333363233.jpg
Finished grille with primer.(sorry for the bad pic)
http://foto.arcor-online.net/palb/alben/61/1561/6230333930393064.jpg
On the car, painted with Alclad stainless steel. Resin horse will come later of course.
http://foto.arcor-online.net/palb/alben/61/1561/3964323238653135.jpg

Finally i was able to fix my paint problem at the front hood. Ferrari decal was applied on beer-can-metal again. The covers of the front lights needed some sanding to fit right, but it looks quiete nice now i think.

Wow: it's shaping up well.

Hi, very nice !!!!!!!!!!!

Cutting out the thin sheet was probably very time-consuming ?!?!?!

Nevertheless, looks stunning!!

Front end of the car looks great, too, especially nice to see the correct fit of the engine cover

Only the cutting mat gives the game away ;)

Very realistic looking and I will for sure follow your idea on replacing the front grille

At the end i decided to not cover all those nice details with some stupid black plastic. I will leave it that way.

And finally, after some detail work it is done! Well after something about 2 years, that´s a quick build for me! :lol: More pictures in the completed section.

Nice Work.
:cool:
