Ferrari 599GTB Fiorano (Revell 1/24) WIP 60TH AAFB

[sjelic]

I finaly got time to test the wheels again, two that went into finals are shown here.




In the end I decided for this ones, painted with Alclat jet exhaust.

One big thank you to Steve aka Hiroboy for providing Pegasus sleeves



Then I worked on chassis and interior parts a bit.
Interior will be red/carbon combo, since it is realy hard to get good looking red seats I decided to try preshadeing technique before I put red paint on, this is how it looks before red paint.






Chassis is simply painted with flat black, Alu parts are prepared with alclad and will be drybrushed with Aluminium when I fit the wheels.



For the end just the picture of brakes that I will use, as you know Revell ones are.......disaster



Thanks for looking

The wheels look fantastic!

[godfather23]

The color choice is really outstanding with the color combo of the rims. It looks just fantastic. Thanks for sharing!

[gionc]

Great choice with the BBS rims!

[DasWiesel]

Wow! Looks great so far. I would take the F50 wheels.
How did you convert the wheel connection?

Nice progress Sasa! The F50 wheels are definitely brilliant! They got my vote!

With a lot of chop and glue thing Since Revell made it look more like Jeep if you use actual axles I cutted those pins compleatly, made new holes, inserted plastic tubes and I will fix the wheels still ( I don't like turning wheels)

I decided to spice this build up a little bit so I will add Fujimi's 599 to this build.

As Tang explained in his review Fujimi realy look better in many thing despite the lack of engine.
The thing that impressed me the most is the shine of Fujimi plastick, just look at that, I was tempted not to paint it



Problem is in mold lines so after I attached side skirts and C pillars I have sanded everything, first with 500 then with 1000 to have this.



And again I played with wheels a bit more


not bad in blue either

Fujimi with wheels intended for Revell


Fujimi will be red, with OZ Superturismo in Pegasus sleeves, everything painted in Alclad polished aluminium.
That's it for now, thanks for watching

[auw12]

Thanks Sasa now we can see the full build up comparison of those two kits~ Nice progress so far! The black one with blue rims really looks evil~ Give it a cold interior to make it more evil please~~~ Got any plans?

[gionc]

Reeeeeeeeeddddddd interiors plizzz on the black devil and a "arrow tail"

[sjelic]

I have intended red interior and red sleeves on black one and all in black interior for red one. Does this sound good?
Tail? Sounds tempting

[Hiroboy]

The wheels came out nice

Thank you Steve, once again, for the sleeves

Meanwhile I managed to prime, paint and clearcoat the shell (Tamiya primer, Zero Rosso Corsa, Zero 2K clear)




A bit of orange peal



After sanding and polishing





I also started with carbon fibering the interior parts.



Wheels ready (compare the size of Fujimi stock wheels, they are huge)



And then, I left the body on the balcony, weather was perfect, body was in the box, on the table, box open, wind started, I rushed to the balcony and there it was, flying 599 body slaming in to wall and on to the floor.

Here are the damages, allready covered with white putty




Strangest thing is that rear view mirrors are fine, most of the corners are fine, only big hit was with rear end.
Now I will see will I be able to save it or brake fluid and all over again.

Next time try to mount a plane, may be he'll fly better

[auw12]

Do it all over again Sasa, I really enjoy redoing thing, that's part of the fun, and we're all modeling masochism loooooooool, BTW the silver wheels are really gorgeous!
