Ferrari LaFerrari

[Tompidom]

I bought the New Revell Ferrari Laferrari a while ago. But I had to finish the GT86 first befoe I could start on this one. The Gt86 is finished so this one has been started :mrgreen:


No pictures of the box content but I did make a video
http://youtu.be/SSLZhYAenuU
I also made a start on some gleuing and filling wich can bee seen in this video
http://youtu.be/yQ9ZCnEs-D0


The body is made up out of a couple different pieces that need to be gleud and filled before paint. I gleud them with Revell Concatt glue and filled it with Zero paints filler


Their were a couple of sincholes in the body that got some filler aswell

The body recieved the first coat of grey primer so I can see which aera´s need more attention


Also today I started on painting all the indevidual parts













Thats it for now, More to come!

Great start so far! What colour are you thinking? Red, Yellow, Jay Kay Green....
On a seperate note - Why do Revell insist on STILL doing their wheels like that, Wake up & smell the 90s!!! Surely there cant be a legitimate reason why!!!

Great start my friend.
What about Revell kit?

I thought that David Piper 's green is close. See my builds with this color:
Ferrari 250 LM 1968 1/24 : http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul....php?t=1089819
Lamborghini Countach LP400 : http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul....php?t=1113275

The body has been sanded down and re puttied



The wheels recieved some clear

And finaly the body got reprimed

Good job Tom, I'm really curious what the rims look underneath the body now :-)

[cjsbosox]

Interesting wheel choice. I must see where this goes

[Exotics_Builder]

I guess I have to ask. Are you converting the wheel to center lug? La Ferraris' don't have 5 lug wheels. I have not come across where Ferrari offered this.

[drunken monkey]

I'm liking the look of this car.
It's certainly made me more interested in it than the Enzo did all them years back.
Another one to add to the list I think.

[Tompidom]

Thanks guys, Just a litle more patiance for the wheels. Probably posting some more on those this weekend.

Added the decals



Cleared it all




And waxed the body

[da_ashman]

Great colour choice! looks amazing in blue!

[Hemi Killer]

That color suits the car very well

[janositamas]

Joining what others said above, the color suits the car well, great choice, do you plan black/red combo for the interior?
