Re: WIP ESCI Ferrari 250 SWB

I do have an italeri kit but only the one whic I won't start until I know I can get it right.
These Esci kits however, I've got maybe 4 of them. I started this one originally as a test to see how much work it needed to do to make it look right and if I could get away with not fixing the window trim.

What you might not see without a direct comparison are the changes done to the body:
vents re-shaped and trim corrected.
Door opening corrected.
Top of door (door shape) corrected.
Rear light's recess corrected.
Boot lid curves corrected.
Front wings corrected.

All in all, the molding is a bit crude and heavy and it's a shame that there aren't more kits of this car about that don't cost $50+
Let's hope that we get the italeri re-issued soon.
