Re: WIP Testarossa's Meeting (Ferrari Testarossa '84, 512TR and Mythos)
Thanks for the good words and for support to my project.
First of all I want to say a Big Thanks to all, for the tips and ideas, which I found on this great place.
As well, I want to explain, that isn‘t a production line project, but a build collection of similar cars. So I won’t build 3 flat twelve engines in the same time, but one by one separately.
I make some progress..
I completed Mythos front suspensions. I replace molded-in plastic coil springs with realistic real metal springs and I painted it with Taniya ‘s semi gloss black. Finally I dry brushing it, with gun metal and aluminum.

Great moments for this wip are the heat red painting. I make some holes in distributer and this is the result…. The red color are from Gunze acrylics series.
I also update the engine ‘s C-17 part with some plastic sheet in the back, to close the hole. I I painted it with Taniya ‘s semi gloss black too.
I prime the Mythos Engine with Zero‘s Grey Primmer. Before this I put some bolts to the bottom of the engine.
In ‘84 Testarossa I plan to replace Tamiya ‘s B21 and B22, with this, from an old Monogram Testarossa kit. I found it more realistic with the real one. In Mythos I use the Tamiya kit.
A photo from the real Testarossa engine.
Thanks for watching...
