Exclamation 1/24 The building of the Ferrari 250GT Fantuzzi spyder 2235GT.

hello again.

i wanna make a declaration first before proceeding with the WIP post.
i'm building this ferrari based on an incomplete (yet again!) kit. so this build will be slow...so bear with me.


i start off with the display of whatever i have, as in the incomplete kit...


accuracy will not be a point here as i've used the 275 NART kit to build, so a wrong engine & interior.


at least the wheelbase & drivetrain are copied according to the usual 250GTs' setup. wheelbase stretch to the actual 2591mm on the real car.


this time the engine will NOT pose any fitting problem as of the nembo spyder. the fantuzzi body is broader to accomodate even the 275 engine. i scratchbuild a fuel tank located just before the rear suspension. as always, all white color parts are the places modified...


because the 275 series sports the drivetrain located at the back rear axle as opposed to the 250 series where the drivetrain is directly coupled to the engine...i have to cut the rear axle & fused it into the engine. sorry, i have to cheat a little here.
hehe...but still it's a ferrari engine right!?

if this is too extreme a cheat to be called for...wait til you see my ferrari bertone 3000 mod, i'm using a BMW 507 as base!
yes, a ferrari with a BMW engine!?!? hahaha...

ok, talk to me if you have something doubtful...good or bad. it's so lonely talking to myself all the time!
