Re: Ferrari 512S

Good luck.

As far as i know there are no aftermarket items that are meant to be used with this kit. HRM makes resin tire/wheel set for 512S-512M-Daytona that you can use with testors kit also, highly recommended. Also MFH has 70's Prorotype tire set. Everything else you have to scratchbuild. Decals, well sponsor stickers in those days were almost standard, so you can use almost any correct sponsor decal from any leftover sheet from 70's sportscar. As far as i know there are no spesific decals for this short tail berlinetta version.

About the problems with the kit: Generally the parts fit is not up to todays standard. Tires are horrible. One major issue is the shape of windshield. Side profile should be almost straight not as round as the kit part.
