Ferrari 308 barn find
Revell's 'Magnum P.I.' Ferrari 308 GTS. This one's from the 80's, the show may have still been on when it was built. Simply put it hasn't been dusted in a bit. Just a quick cleanup wip.
First from the shelf.      Any ideas on removing the awesome white lettering from the tires? That is without melting the vinyl...

Re: Ferrari 308 barn find
For acryllics I use Nail Polish remover on either a cotton Swab or a cotton pad, the ones women use for gettting off makeup

Re: Ferrari 308 barn find
Speaking of cotton swabs...
Half of the car has been given the once over with a damp cotton swab(s). The tire lettering came off with a brisk scrubbing with a tooth pick.   It's still on in the above shots though. And thanks for the tips! #259

Re: Ferrari 308 barn find
Another run with the swabs...
There seems to be a little shine under all that crud.   Brushes and cruddy swabs, elbow grease not included.  #440

Re: Ferrari 308 barn find
Some plastic polish for the 'glass' and Scratch-X for the shiney parts.
 Not much of a build, I know. I can't start another full project untill next year though. I've been thinking of building a 'then and now' version. I'm not sure what extras and updates i want to add just yet though. #601
