slightly tuned testarossa in progress

hi all, i went to my local hobby shop yesterday and found this kit, an italeri 1:16 ferrari testarossa for pretty cheap, so why not give a try!

projects are:

dropped suspension
new rims with color matched lip
maybe a new front lip
and custom sound system but not sure yet about this one

anyway, here are the pics of the kit

the stock rims that look like a tractor set-up :banghead:

that's it for now, i just finished the primer. i'll post some new pics as soon as i paint the car!

it will be tamiya mica blue

OH MY GOD!!! You realize you just made my day!?!?!

I have this same kit, and the wheels look atrocious. I never thought of using some wheels from a die cast dubs, or something along the lines. lol

I love those wheels on there. I guess I'll be building a Ferrari pretty soon.

Sweet! I'm tuned. My LHS had the original of this kit. I almost bought it but wanted to see it built first. Those original wheels suck! What kit or diecast did you snag the new wheels from?

Correct me if im wrong, but i believe that the rims are aluminum sleeved CE28Ns...

...but i can't be positive

it look like CE28Ns but i got those from a diecast exactly like this
