Ferrari 599GTO

[cjsbosox]

Hello AF!
Here is my latest project. The awesome 599 GTO of course. After seeing Andybmw's WIP and these pics...



I was moved to build this kit. I used scalefinishes (highly recommended) interior ferrari paint, Hobby Design's 599 PE and ADV wheels (surprisingly clean), TM2 metal transfer decals and my favorite cf decals (Studio27). I lowered the stance, modified the front bumper, wired the engine and lengthened the front lip a bit. I used red from Duplicolor spraycan, which I eventually covered with Zero rosso scuderia after I ran out of Duplicolor and had to fix a chip on hood. The color is topcoated with a satin varnish for a matte finish. The interior is black and tan with metal accents as I wanted to get away from the interior cf look. Like a told another forum member: "The owner spent all his extras money on paint, bodywork, wheels and engine upgrades" As I sit here writing this I realized that I'm missing air valves. I plan on taking some pics outside, so I will have them on by then

The biggest problem I had with the kit was getting the rear diffurser to fit in properly.
Let me know what you think and thanks for looking

Totally awesome. I love it!!!!!!!!!!!

That stance is spot on, the CF on the sides looks killer. The brakes look great and the wheels fit the car perfectly.

Super!!!!!!!!

That's a very good build with nice and clean modifications, and a great use of c/f, but I'd prefer a gloss red finish also.

Pedro I used interior paints from scalefinishes.com that match Ferrari colors. It is a great product. Just airbrush right over plastic without primer.

great work as always Carlos, the outside pics really do it justice.... though theres something missing in the interior... just kiddin

Outdoor pics are always the best. Satin finish looks much better outdoor.
