Ferrari 250 SWB
Hi - Here's a 250 SWB that I completed some time ago.
 It's a 1/24 Italeri kit and for this particular car had to be converted to RHD by remaking the dash and chopping the firewall and re-arranging the inner wings and footwells.  Hope you like her     (Moss leading Mike Parkes through the chicane) |

Re: Ferrari 250 SWB
Wow, that looks great! Never seen one of these built before - how good is the kit, and how much, if anything, did you need to modify (apart form the rhd conversion!)?

Re: Ferrari 250 SWB
Sorry forgot to mention the wheels. They are from MG Models - I ordered them from Icaro (http://www.icarohobbies.com/) and just sent them an email telling them what car I was doing (total was about £13 ($24-ish) inc p&p). The wheels came ready made up and just needed the stub axles modifying a little to adapt them.
Only changes to the body were to take off the Pininfarina plinths on the wings, alter the front and rear valances to remove the bumper mountings and scratch a quick release filler. p.s. I believe Testors do (or did) this kit - I got this one via ebay from Germany and have never seen another apart from a built street version on another forum. |

Re: Ferrari 250 SWB
Great job Martin
 I was lucky enought to pick up the ESCI "Rally" version (as they called it IIRC) version of the Moss car for 5GBP on eBay but I sold it on as TBH the kit looked awful!  I still have two of the Italeri kits in my stash though Last week I was lucky ebough to see the SWB in 1/1 and I have to say it was even more beautiful in real life than I already thought it was. Gorgeous! drooooool

Re: Ferrari 250 SWB
Very good work replicating this important Ferrari! I must say that replacing those awful Italeri "wirewheels" really adds to the result!

Great model! Congratulations!

Revell is re-issuing the (Italeri) 250GTO, not this 250SWB. At least for now...  Cheers, Luis |
