Here are a few photos of my Ferrari 250 Breadvan in 1/12th scale that I am building for Ferrari Expo 2011. It is based on a Revell GTO diecast and the APM body kit. I had to do the following to the body so far:
Reshape all vents on the nose, add lower scoop and cutback headlights.
Make new engine cover so that it replicates the car as raced at Lemans in 1962.
Change location of vents on the side of both rear and front fenders.
Change location of vents on breadvan section behind doors.
Reshape roof to flatten and make less rounded.
Square out tail on sides.
Relocate rear wheel well back around 1/2 an inch.
Add corrected flares to rear fenders.
Remove flaring from front fenders.
Resize front wheel wells.
Open up vent behind front wheel on top.
Rescribe doors to move then up and make them slightly forward.
Lots more to do, but the body is close. The handlaced wire wheels can be found on Ebay.
The rears are for a GTO and are offered by Scale Details. They do require drilling out the centers so that they will let the spinner sit correctly. I also am redoing the cockpit to replicate the Breadvan's. Only the rear parts and door panels are included in the APM transkit(door panels are wrong). The Revell motor is a mess. I might add an engine at a later date, but the kit will be done as a curbside for the Expo.
Looks like another big group of modelers will be coming in for the show in March. Can't wait to meet you again. I am also doing several Carrera Panamericana cars for the event and Scale Designs is doing a few decal sheets for the PAN AM Porsches to debute at the Expo.
