Revell Ferrari 599 GTB
Hello folks,
After finishing Ferrari California and 458 projects, I jumped into another Ferrari project; Revell's Ferrari 599. Unlike the latest Revell's kit, this kit is pretty challenging for many areas. It has horribly simplified engine details and the wheel & tires are just awful!! Honestly, I relied greatly on the WIP of Entau and Amago although I didn't go that extreme.   first, I replaced manifolder duct with 2mm solder.  then made throttle valve parts with several sizes of aluminum tubes.  other miscellaneous parts.  painting  ... and some wiring works  completion of air intake  completion of engine   I used HD's PE parts and SMS's CF decal for the interior details.  I skipped to use CF decal for the seats as I was running out of CF decal   Model Car Garage's ivory flocking for carpet.  (almost) completion of interior.  very special thanks to Entau and Amago for posting great WIP. and sorry for my shameful WIP..

Re: Revell Ferrari 599 GTB
Body works!
 It seems like the gap between the body and bonnet is too wide.  filling in the gap with plastic plate.  the result   light spray of grey primer...  another light spray of gloss black lacquer.  I chose HoK's blueberry dry pearl for the body color.  1st clear coat with GSI's Mr. Super clear  2nd clear coat & 1st polishing job.  thank you for looking!

Re: Revell Ferrari 599 GTB
I gotta say, the engine, interior and body are anything but shameful. Beautifully done so far!

Re: Revell Ferrari 599 GTB
Very inspiring work indeed, I have 3 Fujimi kits and a Revell (that I think I will only combine them) and I am kinda looking forward to finding time and start!
Keep going and update your posts soon!

Re: Revell Ferrari 599 GTB
The "throttle valve parts " are works of art and really lend to the realism of this engine. As impressed with the engine as I was, the following pictures of the interior really blew me away. And then seeing the painted body, wow. You sure have skills, fantastic work you are doing here.

Re: Revell Ferrari 599 GTB
The first word that came to mind is "crisp". That engine work is supert. How did you get the Ferrari script and the silver stripes to look so good? This really makes me want to make this kit but I generally steer away from Revell kits
