Hey all. Thought I would begin sharing some of my pics with y'all. This is the Tamiya 1:24th Ferrari F50 in mid-conversion to the doomed F50 GT1. Enjoy!
Modified and stock door panels. The modified still needs some work.
Dash modified using the decal from a spare Tamiya 1:24 Nissan R390 and a scratched flat panel dash insert.
Interior using 2 "black boxes" and the battery box from the PIAA Accord kit, Magneti Marelli decal from the Tamiya 1:20 Ferrari F189, shifter, shifter surround and seat/seat belt decal from the R390. wiring detail added with more coming. and last but not least, sheet styrene to simluate the black box & battery mounting plate.
Front end treatment is sheet styrene for the splitter, sheet styrene (Evergreen) strips for the base of the fender extensions and built up with 3M Automotive Piranha Putty.
New engine cover from sheet styrene.
Upper engine scoop was created in Sculpty first and then "heat and smash" formed in sheet styrene. I'm still working on the shape and fairing the scoop into the greenhouse.
Cockpit temporarily installed.
Stock wheels temporarily installed (I have yet to find the correct 5 spoke Speedlines I need).
Damn shame Maranello couldn't keep up with Mercedes Benz's spending. This would have been awesome to see running down Mulsanne!
More when I get more done ;-)
Thanks for looking,
Bill
