Re: Summer Love - Ferrari F355 Spider 1/24

Hello again ...
The improvements, which required in this kit, which preparations for my upcoming engagement, something that consistently breaks the continuity of my Summer Love delayed more than expected. I hope to compensate you, with this presentation ...

Home Affairs ...
The most important task that requires the creation of internal doors.
In the kit are like this ...


While the reality is something else ...



Implementation began with the design on paper ...



Then with plastic sheets I tried to represent the project in three-dimensional form. After many trials, putting and sanding, the result is something like this ...









Similar improvements are required and seating both in the back (classic are hollow) and in their base. Also removed the headrests and stuck in elevated position.







A minor upgrade requires the hood (given in a closed position). Surgery was essentially the hem! Which was converted from mini to maxi ... using plastic sheet.







The interior parts painted with Earth Yellow (FS 30257) and the Satin Black from Lifecolor. Then I made the carpet (Flocking).









Also I added the seat belts and embossed mark on the steering wheel.





With the assembly of basic parts, I complete the interior construction. To do this I make the following additions:
1) pedal from a kit of 550 that for some reason had two sets ...
2) by photoetch throttle pedal and a plastic base
3) gear lever by pin ball and epoxy putty
4) gear base and starter from photoetch
5) buckle belts from plastic sheets
6) marks and logos «F355 Spider» by photoetch

The result of the implementation of the above is:







Stay tuned ... Soon, we will be followed by painting and assembly of mechanical parts.
I await for your comments.
Happy Modeling…
