Fujimi Ferrari BB512

Besides cracking the filler above the rear bumper, I had some problems with this kit. I waited to glue on the separate pieces below the doors until after painting and the doors pulled in above the chassis. To get the lower sides to fit I had to cram scrap in behind the doors to push them out. I also ended up with an open area between the front bumper and the body. While it looks fine with a black bottom, the gap for the black stripe around the body is much more narrow at the doors than at the bumpers. Having aired my frustration.... I thought this was a great kit.

Looks cool, great paint job.

Turned out super nice regardless.

Superb build! Very shiny paint, no flaws. Great!

Came out perfect despite the problems you mentioned (none of which I noticed by the way) Inspirational colour choice,looks really different to the usual reds that seem to be the norm with Ferraris.

Schwing. . .:bigthumb:

really nice!

Sweet yellow color! that's beautiful finish.

Looks killer, fantastic color scheme. Would love to know what sort of paint and technique you used for the window/door trim...

Waow!

It looks very fast in yellow!

I am pretty impressed with the rims too.

Yes, very nice work. I also like the look of the rims very much. Do you mind if I ask how you achieved that natural white-ish aluminum finish?

Great model, beautiful finish! Is this Fujimi´s new 1/24 kit?

Nice Job

It's the new Fujimi kit and the wheels were just sprayed with Testors dullcoat because the photos I found showed the wheels looked like they were dull white-aluminum and they turned out perfect(dumb luck). I always mask and airbrush black trim because it's the only way I can get a straight line. It's well worth the time and effort.

Looks nice; thanks for posting this-it's the first one I've seen finished. One of these years I'll get to build mine. Maybe before then they'll fix the oversized wheel issue, something I never ever thought would happen w/Fujimi :lol:

I wonder if the tires will split over time since they have to be stretched so much over the wheels?

Great built there man! I think you have the right choice of colour too. Seeing this kit. I think I might just buy one and try it out.

I liked the combination of colors. It was a very good model.
