Wow, nice kit. I just saw a yellow Testarossa at a local body shop I go to. Wow, its a thing of beauty. Good luck on the build!

I've built this kit a long time ago. Pretty nice but a bit low on details concidering the massive scale. The wheels were also a bit too small if I remember correctly..

I think for the front grill, it'd be easier to just drill out the whole thing and remake the fins from styrene.

It looks like you know what you're doing, so that shouldn't be too difficult.

Nice looking so far. I just got this kit and am wondering if you have to correct firing order on your distributor or if you just made it up. Let's see some progress also.

Looks great, could you tell me the part numbers for the chromed parts and the rubber parts as I bought a monogram one, but was missing them, so i need the numbers to get new ones from revell?

Hi,

how did you cut the stripes from plastic for the engine cover ?

Each stripe looks different.

Why don´t you take some Evergreen stripes and just cut them with a knife to the desired length?

Awesome, you opened up the rear vents. I took like a hour to find a good picture of the vents to see how they really were, and now I need to cut mine open.

Hi, thanks for that picture, it really helps. I decided to set the model down about a month ago due to the huge amount of details on the body that need changing, the best bet for the rear grill, is to cut them with a modelling saw and then sand with a file, while the rear lid, I created again, using Evergreen strips, it took like a weekend to get that looking just right. The level of detail in the interior, that can be changed is huge, I started adding detail to the front, but got stuck making hinges, any idea how to do this nicely and easily? Thanks again

interior with leather and "vilt"(have no idea how ist called in English it's a sort of fabric):

It's "felt" in English :). Great build so far. I can't wait to see more.

Nice work!
I just bought mine for $10, but I will do it OOB because I don't want to lost nerves on 25+ years old kit. :-)

25+?
The Testarossa is from 1984, that is 22 years ago, perhaps the kit is 20 years old, even younger :)

OK, +/- couple years, but it stay that is old. :-)

Thats nice, I could get my hands on that kit yesterday for 20€ (modelshop is closing)

Finally some progress :D
Thats it for now, I might finish this project after all :p

Thanks for the pics, they will be great reference for me :)
I'd like to have that F40 in 1:12, but I should finish my 1:16 version first, ther e is everything to open.
Unfortunately the shop did not have the F40, perhaps I will do one when I have enough money saved (in 1- 2- 3 years? ;) )

hm, one question again:
How did you find out, how the door panels need to be aligned so that the door shuts correctly?
and can you please give me some reference pics so that I can wire the engine, too? :)

Great works so far! Especially on the leather and flocking area. Detailing on the engine looks nice. But I have to agree with Micha on the stripes.

Thats some good news :)
I am really interested in how you make the doors work and how you align the door panels to the door.
