Completed: Monogram Ferrari 308GTB

Just finished this one up today. Monogram's 308GTB (copyright 1980). Painted with Tamiya Mica Silver and Tamiya Clear, then polished. Interior is painted with Krylon Cherry Red then over coated with Testors Flat clear. Added decals from aftermarket decal set and metal emblems from Crazy Modeller (thanks to my friend, Wayne ) Tires are from American Satco. I stripped the chrome from the wheels and repainted them with dull aluminun, and then used some SNJ Polishing Powder. The exhaust tips were replaced with some polished aluminum tubing.

Edit: forgot to mention this was for the 60th Anniversary Build.

Thanks for looking:

Re: Completed: Monogram Ferrari 308GTB

Very nice and clean build. I normally don't like silver, but it sure look good on this one. Great idea to strip the wheels and paint them alu. The emblems add to the god overall look. Congrats and thumbs up!

Edit: Just noticed that the mirror is not adjusted right. And what is the reflection on the roof???

Thanks everyone.

voyageur, the mirror is kind of tricky. in some views (in person) it looks correct and other views don't. It didn't matter where I placed it it still looked wrong.

The reflection just happens to be a Hotwheels car package I have hanging on my wall just above my work area. I alway forget to move it when I take pics.

Re: Completed: Monogram Ferrari 308GTB

Wow, man, this is a very very impressive looking model. I have the revell rerelease and it's very very basic and needs a bit of work to look convincing. Luckily you did a lot of work on it! So it doesn't only look convincing, but also desirable

Wow! Excellent built there. The shine is so smooth man! Great colour too. I wonder if there is any more of these models available. Might want to get my hands on one of them.
