Well guys,
It's been a while.... 2 career changes and 2 new places to live and I finally have picked up my modelling kits.:nono:
My latest greatest: Combining the Fujimi & Revell kits for the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano.:screwy:
Some may wonder why, but seeing as the Revell kit has an engine, but wrong body proportions and Fujimi is just the oposite the choice is logical really.:grinyes:
Logic isn't always easy, but here goes:
The kits

The aftermarket stuff

The Progress so far
I started off with the PE Brakes

Also had to scratch open the windows as they were in one piece and I want my Ferrari to have open doors with windows...:iceslolan

This offcourse also meant closing up the door sills and doors itself

Finally I have detailed and painted the engine (although some paint has chipped)

My sincere apologies for the long post, but I've been working on & off this Ferrari for some months now...
Gimme your 2 cents,
