Revell 512 TR Progress with pics

[JE123]

I've got all of the insides done. The interior is complete and sitting on the chassis. It looks great. All that is left is the body work.

I'll get some pics up later today. I'll have to use my Quickcam, unless somebody wants to buy and send me a digital camera. But I will take better pics tomorrow with my 35MM.

Does anybody know if this kit could be converted into a regular Testarossa? Because when I got the kit, it came with two sets of wheels. One set were wider than the other. It came with three side mirrors. One of them was longer than the other two. It also came with another rear-view mirror that is plated, and what appears to be an engine cover. I am not real sure on the engine cover, so I will take pics of it, to see if anybody knows what it is. It doesn't say anything in the instructions about these parts.

Saw a 512 TR the other day..think it was a Hasegawa..

Anyhow, this thread has inspired to make that kit mine one day...plus the Fujimi Dino...Heep you bastard!

I can't wait to see the finished product, the progress shots were very promising.

Here are some pics.




Here is a pic of one of the pieces that was not used. Anybody have an idea on what it might be?

Where your flat-12 engine has one big suppository in the back, my Testarossa engine will have two. That's probably a remnant from their Testarossa kit.

Thanks. That is probably what all of the extra pieces were for. I also notice that in your pic the Ferrari only has one side mirror. I wonder why Ferrari only put one on their Testarossa.

The first Testarossa came with only one side mirror, mounted high on the driver's side. Later they were replaced with two low side mirrors. My Tamiya TR kit has only one high mirror.

Progress has been slow at the moment. Hopefully I will get this kit finished soon.
