Progress : Silver Ferrari 612 Scaglietti... nearing end.

Here's my progress on this kit I wanted to make quickly.

Already did most of the work, the body needs some more clear... the engine details and the interior and chassis some licks here and there but the overall picture is pretty cool.

I managed to make some little adjustements and made some parts better, so I m feeling confident.

here are the pictures.

Feel free to ask and comment, folks.

Olivier

Looking good so far.
very nice silver paint. keep up the good job! :smile:

Nice choice of colour, I think the 612 looks better in the metallic colours. Looking very promising so far. Keep us posted...

look great !

how is the kit ?

its looking good......will buy one, when it is done. :D

Looking good Olie, silver paintwork is perfect.

Looks superb, great progress. I really like the shape of that body :naughty:

Mike.

Looks very nice so far.
I look forward to seeing this one completed.

Nice quick buildup. Those hood hinges are massive, like a diecast.
Gonna have to get one of those. Ripe for tweaking.

nice one olivier!! see you got the chrome off :) Cool paint choice

BTW Revell r gonna send me some decals - Dept. X was very helpful

Steven

Good god nice build, keep on keeping on...

Great build. btw who makes this kit?

keep up the good work

Looks great, you did very well.
Hood "dog leg" hinges are very disappointing! C'mon Revell, even diecasts use normal hinges now...

Looks good. I need to get my hands on this kit.

Wow. First time I've seen this kit. Nice build. Keep it up.

Very nice work Oli!!:sunglasse

looks good! btw... did you scratch build the grill?

The kit looks awesome:) You've done it very well:) Can't wait to see more:)

did you find the plastic used for this kit very greasy/glossy?

i tried to paint the engine block after just sanding and the paint still doesn't like it too much.

Very nice work Oli!!:sunglasse
:iagree: Good job Bro'

Looks good in silver! I´m afraid you will finish first. :loser:

Thanks all for your motivating comments.

Now answers.

PC: no, the grill is just dechromed using bleach and will be repainted more according how I think it should be.

DM;
yeah, the plastic of this kit IS pretty greasy, so I put it first in a little bath of soapy water and washed each tree, then applied the neccessary primer.
I think this model would be impossible to build without good primer, atleast my model was.


now, some small progress, I fixed the hood fitting problem I was having, it s alll my fault, cause a piece was't glued properly on.

you might be arguing that there are little flaws on the model, I call it "personality" :)

I ll keep you updated

Oli

That is looking sweetly, sir.

OMG it is very elegent. Wat a good 612. Good job.

Looks great, Oli, keep it up!

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Very nice Oli!!

after daswiesel's update, here's mine, I lowered the suspention about 1 mm in front and rear, and I "note this" painted the rear quarter window according to references.
It's going to have a little black horse at the rear instead of a silver one -courtesy of stijnbamps1 ;-)

and that's about it, folks, yeah, the rear window frame isn't glued on, and needs a little bit more clean llines, that's all.

Oli

I didn´t knew, you were waiting for me. ;-) Sorry it took so long.

Yours is really nice, but the rear side window looks a bit strange. :eek7: Did you paint it from the outside?

looks very nice Oli - very clean and smart. I think the light metallic colors suit the body very nicely.

I've got to laugh when I you talk about 1mm precision! When I think that I'm happy if i have 1cm precision LOL

good one dude!

thanks for the nice comments, dudes! yeah, the rear quarter window was done from the outside, that's afterwardsly (sp?) seen a good guess, but I already glued the windows and the body on. Luckily I did this, because the glass part in that area showed some weird marks, which couldn't be sanded out, some plastic melt inside or something...

Also, yeah, not really much to say about this after all, but I did put a little black line around the front lights, very very small, but I believe that is the only way not to make the front lights ruin the whole appearance of the model, making it look toylike without that little line...

As always, it's in the details.

oli

Nice and clean. Love the shine on the silver paint.

A shame about the rear quarter window. I actually don't glue my bodies on my models (unless necessary) just in case I need to take it off for some reason, like this, or to clean out dust. Most car bodies that i've done just kinda snap, screw or stretch on the frame.
