Re: Ferrari 250 Sperimentale

Thanks all!

The rear spoiler was done as a solid piece of resin rather than a formed sheet metal piece as the real car is for simplicity sake I'm sure. If the rear spoiler didn't have the slight curvature to it it could have been done as a photo etch piece which could have been folded to position.

Tire diameters could be better...but there aren't many good alternatives for this period in scale. They could have been set in further which is not a fault of the kit, I could have simply shortened the axles.

The roundel on the deck lid would have to be contorted to go across the the spoiler and it wasn't printed in a manner to do so...so I left it off.

I barely have time to watch paint and glue dry these days which is to say I can't re-engineer/correct every kit I build. That's life.
