Bob, the car looks great! There is no way pictures can ever do justice to the color of this car in person. The Mica Red over Gold is awesome! |
Thanks
I saw the National Geographic special on the Ferrari factory yesterday, there was a 599 in the same basic color on that show that looked incredible. I don't like "Rosso Corsa" red on Ferraris, but when it's a pearl that's a whole 'nother story. I'll bet the new F1 color is awesome in person.
As for the roof, of the 3 SA's in my posession one was warped, the others were fine. I was able to completely straighten the warped frame by just applying a bit of "opposite direction pressure" on the part, the plastic is soft enough to allow this w/o breaking. Be careful, but it will straighten. Though I'm not sure if the properties of the white plastic in my kit are the same as the gray frame that's in your Revell AG version.
A bigger problem would be if the glass panels were warped. If they're not, they'll also help the frame if you are careful with gluing the glass in place under a bit of pressure. If the glass is warped, it's better to get a replacement.
