Ferrari 195S Berlinetta Touring - 1950

[gtziaf]

This my new project and my first wip in AF, after a long-long period.
I ;ll try to represent the 1950's, Ferrari 195S Berlinetta Touring from same year Le Mans 24Hours race. The car (SN:0026M) with #25, driven by Raymond Sommer and Dorino Serafini to provisional Le Mans lead. Some electrical problem cause a final retirement.
This is the 195S Berlinetta της Touring from 1950's Le Mans.


The same car after a full restoration :


The model came from Mg Models, which I bought before Hiro announced his 166/195 series.






Hope you like the project.
More to come soon...

Best regards from Greece

It's time for the first update in this project...
I start with kit's best part, the borrani style wheels. A little tricky to found the assembly way but the result are excellent. Good job MG.


Then, I start to prepare the body for priming... A lot of pain in this progress


In this stage I make some modification in interior. Not 100% accurate but I try it.




Finally, I primed the body and I drill some holes on it.


Hope you found it interesting.
Best wishes from Greece

Time for another update...

Some modification in interior this time. Not sure if is it 100% accurate but I don't have any single photo, of the interior on this particular car.




I add hiro's flocking material and I paint the interior with a semi gloss tan.


Also, I paint some of the interior parts.The roll bar painted with the general tan and the seats with an acrylic brown. After that I made a wash and dry-brushing in seats for a more "interesting" result.




Finaly, I decan the tamiya's TS10 and I paint the body.


Hope you like the progress.
Any comments are very welcome.

Best regards

The metal ring are from Scale's Production set.


Some preparation for more interior parts, such the steering wheel, the hand brake, the door handles and the door mesh...

This is the last update on this little berlinetta...

First job - the brakes. The usual process here, with some metal cleaning and polishing. Finally, I wash them with black...


Next job - Exhausts. I cut the main part and replace it with another one (from daytona I think). The result painted with exhaust manifold and burnt metal from alclad and drybrushing them.


And the vacform windows nightmare follows..


Also, I put the mesh inside the doors and I polish the body...


Then I apply the decals.. I didn't seal the with clear coat to represent because in 50's the numbers are from paper or hand painted. Also I don't cut the decal in hood edges because I see it in some photos in a Le Mans history book (sorry I can't publish them). The numbers of the real car are from paper and cover the hoods. (what they do in pitstops? )


And the kit fail. The front hood is not correct. I didn't notice before, and I see only when I put the decal on it. Ηowever, I can live with it


Best regards
George
