Re: 1965 Ferrari 275 GTB
Looks great. These 43rd scale builds are often very challenging, requiring a special set of skills, different from larger scale projects. I've built a few and it does help you become a better model builder.

Re: 1965 Ferrari 275 GTB
Thanks 360!
I drew up new artwork and printed a set of the 24 w/roundels. I had hoped that sealing the Ecurie Francorchamps fender scripts in clear would make them usable, but no such luck. They disintegrated too as soon as they made it to the body. So I drew and printed new ones of those too. At least the Ferrari badge I cleared as heavy as if it was a cloisonné survived the application.   |

Re: 1965 Ferrari 275 GTB
The body has been clear coated. I used urethane thinned almost double the usual amount to compensate for the extra dry and warm weather.

Re: 1965 Ferrari 275 GTB
Thanks!
The color sand and polishing really improved upon that too. Despite all my test fitting during the early stages it took the better part of an hour to get the chassis and interior parts to fit all the way inside the body and the wheels to be in their proper places. But it was worth it… The vents have been shaded and the filler caps installed.  Last edited by Scale-Master; 05-14-2022 at 07:31 PM. |

Re: 1965 Ferrari 275 GTB
The wipers are PE, and they get "origami'd" with a half dozen bends/folds into decent looking 3D parts.
The one in the foreground is before bending it into form. Fine tuning is needed for each one during the actual installation to fit the windshield; after the wiper blades are painted on…  |

Re: 1965 Ferrari 275 GTB
The taillights are the same cloisonné style affair as the headlights, but the red tint had faded to a rose color. I over coated them with X-27 Clear Red to restore (or improve) their luster and depth.

Re: 1965 Ferrari 275 GTB
well done, in 1/43 I tend to cut all the windows separately and trim them with files to the point I can individually fit them. Does make it fiddly but the results are better. You also don't need to thin the inside of the doors/frames etc.
