Ferrari California - Revell 1/24








This is the excellent Revell 1/24 kit, done in the style of the Cali that Top Gear took down the world's deepest road tunnel in Norway a few issues back. In terms of building, the only issue I found was that you need to fit the ?radio/aircon? controls at the front of the central console (part 41) the opposite way to the picture in the instructions, so that the interior will fit up against the dashboard and allow you to close the whole body without breaking something. But when you do close it, the precision of the fit is VERY impressive...

The exterior is Zero "Bianco Fuji" with two-pack clear-coat. The interior is Citadel acrylics, replicating a pattern I had fun making in the Ferrari.com configurator. The rear panel, diffuser and front wing are in carbon fibre - another configurator option!

Thanks to BVC500 for some late corrections - I used my grey "frisket" mask to "smoke" the rear lenses. And to janositmas - I wish I could find some "detailer" that would stay in the cut lines - all my inks and washes and blackwax don't "take" on the clearcoat. Any ideas, anyone?

Overall, I'd recommend this kit highly. Bring on the 458s...

bestest,
M.

Super clean! The yellow calipers look very nice too.
