Talking Finished: Fujimi 550 Maranello (Azzurro California)

Honest, I did finish a model! (you might hear rumours that Kunta painted the body for me and Veyron did the interior, but those are just that, rumours )

Fujimi 550 Maranello. Took me somewhat longer to complete than I was hoping, but at least I got there. Paitned Glasurit Azzurro California, interior - hobby enamels. Couldn't bring myself to use the black "Ferrari" decal provided by Fujimi, so used two cavallinos and the "Ferrari" badge from the Tamiya 360 kit (metal transfers). Also decided to use the Scuderia shields as I think they work with this colour. Progress thread

Weather permitting, will take outdoor photos, maybe even today.

Now enough talk, here are the pics.




















As always, happy to hear your comments or questions.

Alex
(phew)

Edit: changed soem pictures

Thank you. Flawless it is not, but probably the best one I've built so far.

those of you wondering what happened to the windshield wipers ... forgot to add them before taking pics - guess I was too excited. Will take new pics with ALL the parts on the model

Holy Fark!

This is absolutely marvelous Alex!

big two thumbs up for this finished thread, gorgeous deep and glossy paint, superb interior and fantastic detailing allroud, just the way I like 'em.

Not much to say besides the obvious fact that now this one is finished, you should be on a roll, mister.

Didn't even spot the missing wipers. You'd think in this day and age a car as tecnically advanced as a Ferrari would have a better solution for clear vision than scraping a couple if rubber strips across the windshield.

Lovely

That color scheme is great

Still none in Rosso Corsa

Watch for Mach I 2003...his yellow 550 may be done today

CADguy's Rosso Barchetta 575 looks great in person

I love Maranellos

Did I say ?

Thank you everyone for the comments.

I changed some pictures for ones with the wipers installed (didn't change all pictures though).
