Ferrari 612 Scaglietti 15.000 Red Miles

[Tompidom]

The chevelle was finished, so I thougt lets go euopean this time. My search for a new build ended in Italie.
I chose the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti. But then the special 15.000 Red Miles car.
When i took the box out of the stash i still had not decides wich one i wanted to build, silver or red...... But that did not take to long. I had anohter 2 612 kits in the stash. So I took out another 612 kit and now I am building Both the Silver and Red car.






I will be using these decals



This is the Kit I wil start out with.


Both body´s were warped, so I had to straighten them out. I did this with a hair dryer and some small bends being very carefull not toe break the body´s

After that i started on the window´s. Masked them off and painted them flat black


When that was all done i started on the interior tubs. Thet missed a lot of details that the real car has. So i started drilling filing and bending the mesh, cutting tube and gleuing strips of styrene.







They may not be the prittiest vents but I´m happy with the way they turned out.




Sanded down the mold lines an roughed up the body´s, then it was off to the painters(oke fine the shed :mrgreen: )

Looking good! Can't wait to see more. I really enjoyed building both my 612's.

[Tompidom]

Drilled out the disks

Dang that took some time 57 holes times 8
Taped off the body's and painted them

Sorry guy's no more 15.000 Red miles livery's. I was putting on the decals on the firt car, and almost every decal i placed broke on 15.000 pieces separating miles apart.(gotta keep the humor up right??)

So instead ill build them as i want them to be. One will be 100% stock in red and the other will be grey with some costum touches and maybe some new wheels

Gutted!!! That sucks!! Cant wait to see how you turn these 2 around!

There are other decal companies that offer them. I think HD makes them and maybe another company. Either way sorry to hear and good luck.

[BVC500]

That sucks! Or you could scrap the red and silver...those colors don't look particularly good on the 612, IMHO.

Well that sucks dude. Thought I would be able to see 15k miles. Oh well.

Rather unfortunate to hear about the decals, but keep it up

Sorry to hear that. Have you tried to put Liquid Decal Film onto the decals before you use them? You could at least safe on of the cars.
