WIP: Ferrari 575GTC, 1/24 60th aniv. AF build

Here is mine contribution to this AF project.

Since all of you probably saw that masterpiece from Mr. Prini I can only say that you can not expect me to match that but I will try to get close.
First of all I would like to thank Mr. Prini for his detail building progress because it has and will help me a lot in the process.

Let's start, I will not bother with review because Robi did that job just fine.

Body cleaned from flash, found one bubble on side skirt, drilled it and filled with piece of sprue, then puttied with Squadron green putty (great stuff).





Wheels are perfect just as they are so not much work here, some dremel and fine iron brush and they are done, I will paint them with alclad later. Tyres are sanded on 320 grit paper





Head lights housings drilled and will be finished with some clear lens




Central console had some broken switches so I removed them all, drilled the holes and put some SRC washers as bases, this all will be covered with CF later on. washers are just for shape.





I soldiered roll cage and I am just in the middle of putting reinforcements but I discovered that I soldiered them in wrong position so I have to redo now.



Anyhow, this kit is great, but instructions are like you don't have them, so before you start get a lot of reference pictures.
