Ferrari 599 GTO 2010 - 1/24 Revell

[gtziaf]

Hello, again from Greece.
This is my latest project. The well-known Revell's, 599 GTO.


I started with the body. I follow the standard procedure (scribing panel lines, drilling the indicators, sanding the whole body, thinning the air vents, open the door's handle, etc.) and in addition, I separate the side window trim, with the scriber for a more "authentic" look.








The paint progress follows. My first choice is the ZP's tdf blue, but I didn't have enough after my 330 GTC.
So my inspiration point came from this :


and this '62, 250 GTO (SN3387) :


So, I paint it with the TS50 (!!! - I try to have a little different result than the normal ts50), and clearcoated with Gunze's 513. All decan from spray cans to airbrush.




I spray another wet coat of clear cause I have some orange peel (as you see in previous photos) but I didn't take photographs yet.
Hope you enjoy it.
Thanks for your time.

Best regards
George

Thank you Andy...
Here the next update with some interior preparations.
Ι open the doors cases and I put the mesh for sound system.




I choose a more sport look for my GTO (I 'll try a retro-sport mix look) so I decide to put the four point seat belts. So I opened four seat bely connectors an I put an oval frame on it (cut from pe set belts).




From plastic rods, I made a roll bar.


In the central console, I scribing the upper part to separate it, from the tunnel.


For next, I opened the air vents to put the HD's pe vents.




In a temporary assembly, I discover that the holes in the top off the dashboard, is not totally covered, so I put some putty on them.




The final step for today is the steering column.




Hope you like my job and thanks for your time.
I wait your comments.
Best regards
George

I manage to do some work on my GTO, so I finished the interior.
The inspiration for the interior colors, come from the original '62 GTO. As I wrote before, I try to mix the new with the classic to make a vintage result.


So I choose back leather, white aluminium for panels and some suet details.

For the suet details I put some microballons in my old airbrush to represent them. I didn't choose some texture spreys, because I want a very fine effect.






In the dashboard, I remove all the controls and I represent them from plastics rods. Also, I put some pe rings on the decals for more realistic view. The black, that I used is the valejo black primer a great way to represent leathers.




Then, I make some wash and dry-brushing to interior parts, I add flocking and detailed the interior with pe from Hobby design's set.






The seats is a complicated situation. The central part represent by spraying tire black over a mesh (I use am acrylic matt black as base-coat). Also, I add the necessary cf to the back of them.




And the result...






Hope you like the progress.
Comments are very welcome

Best regards
George
