Couple of AMR 1/43 Ferrari 250 GT PF Cabrios

I'm slowly chipping away at a pile of old AMRs that one gentleman sent to me for restoration. These are the last two I had. Red one was painted horrible bronze color, and black one was white (go figure), with blue interior. Yuck. Re-did these puppies in more appropriate color combos.
Some of the things were left unrestored (like windows, wheels, etc) at a request of the owner. I scratchbuilt new steering wheels (made them thinner), and added few scripts and emblems here and there. Other than that - "box-stock".

Thanks!

As usual just SUPERB!! no matter if your Ferrari models are 1/24-25 or 1/43, the craftmanship is spectacular.

These two beautiful examples are proof of that, great restorations!!

i cannot imagine putting that sort of detail into something so little. I thought 1/24 scale was tough over 1/12...but this is amazing. good job.

Great models and wonderful paint as I would expect from you Alex, even more impresive as a restoration.

Cheers,
Lee

Lovely! Hard to believe that they are such a small scale. One of my favourite Ferraris too
