Ferrari 512 TR

This will be my new build:

It's the Ferrari 512 TR from Fujimi.

It's just simple detailed and not many parts.

I only will use some PE seatbelts.

The body:

And because I wanted to use other wheels, I searched for others and thought that the Yokohama AVS wheels looks good on it. They look like the newer Ferrari's these days.

I'm not sure about the colour yet, but I think it will not be in red. Maybe some light blue metallic or something looks better.

It's nice to see an older ferrari, I've been wanting to get a hold of this kit for a while now.

I like your wheel choice. Can you take a comparison pics with the kit wheels?

Looks good with AVS rims, can you use the original tyres on it, or they are too small in diameter? I ask because the original rear tyre is bigger in diameter and width comparing to the front one and using the bigger tyres at the rear would be more life-like in case of a Ferrari.

Hey Kris :)
Nice looking project you got.
Maybe for the color you could use a dark red candy like this http://autoartstingraysstudio.com/images/ferrari.jpg

Rims also looking good, kinda reminds me of enzo wheels.

I already used the tyres from the original wheels. Wide tires in rear en smaller in front :)

Not much done last days, but yesterday I removed the moldinglines and today I sprayed some primer on it.

Tomorrow I hope to paint the body in Racing Blue but maybe I choose on other colour. Don't know yet :)

Kris.

Very interesting. Will follow the build up of this nice TR.

It already looks good.

i like the rim choice

Yesterday I painted the body in TS-51 Racing Blue.
After that I applied the decals on the body. I wanted some Ferrari logo's on the sideshields, and in the grille (front and back) so I used some left over decals from a 360 modena.

I also wanted the spokes in bodycolour, but after painting the 3rd wheel the spraycan was empty :-?
I had an other spraycan that looks just like the bodycolour so I painted the wheels again. After that I clearcoated them. I only need to add the logo's on it.

I hope to clearcoat the body this weekend.

Kris.

When you said you were painting it blue I thought maybe it was the wrong choice of colour for this car.I was thinking along the lines of red or black as I always think the 512TR looks it's best in these colours.However I was wrong I think, the blue really does look great and suits the car very nicely.I also like what you have done with the wheels, painting them body colour.Really nice shine as well on the paint.Almost looking like you don't need a clearcoat.I look forward to seeing this progress.

Last weekend I clearcoated the body with 3 layers of Clear.

Sunday I will polish the body.

Kris.

Looking good!

Very nice work there. Interesting doing the body Racing Blue and the spoked rims the same color. Strangely enough it works. Cheers to you for being brave.

I'm also busy with the interior. That will be black/blue with grey silver flocking.

Kris.

I also finished the interior.

Used silvergrey interiorflocking from Hiroboy and blue/black for the rest of the interior.

The seats are not original but from a 360 modena.

The whole car is already completed so watch the completed section for the final pics :)

Kris.

that's a nice looking engine in there.
I'm surprised we don't see more of these kits built.

What blue did you use for the interior?
