Ferrari Superamerica

Hello again from the workshop of a Hamster! I lost my faith in the Challenger project, so I began my journey with this "quick" build of Revell's Superamerica. The reason I have put so much attention to this project is simply because I have a Fujimi's 575 in my Hamster stack.

I'll let the pics do the talking:

Revell before:


Revell in the middle of progress:


There had to be some areas to be thinned:


Revell didn't put a badge relief on the back so that was a "must do":

With outlining of the PE badge on 0,3mm styrene I managed to produce a fairly nice Horse emblem for the back:

Interior got a few details too:


Because of the resemblities between Supeamerica and 575 Maranello I decided to make a modification of the front seats. There is only one in progress at the moment but I'll make a resin copy of it so that I will save some time for the following projects.


Mocking up of chassy and engine...


Wheels on modified axis (Fujimi type):




Another mock-up:


Seat still needs some attention before molding (the main area is covered with masking tape to prevent damage while sanding down the putty):


I managed to lay a layer of Tamiya's yellow (20ml pot):


I hope you enyojed scrolling down and hope to show you something new soon.
