26 - Revell Ferarri 308 GTB (Cut to a GTS)
An old Revell Ferrari kit, which was pretty decent. I enjoyed this build but made some mistakes on it as usual.
The roof was cut off to make the GTB into the convertible GTS.
Instead of the usual Ferrari Red, I chose to. go with a really nice blue I liked, I got an automotive paint company to mix it for me - It is called Alfa Romeo Blue Chiaro.
I was nervous about airbrushing it onto the body because I normally use the Rattle cans. But it sprayed on very well. I clear coated and polished it up and then when glueing in the wheels touched the door with superglue.
Had to sand back and respray the area, a slight difference is noticeable but only if you know where to look.
For the interior I tried to go nice and different with a red and think the 2 colours look nice together. I hope you enjoy.
A really nice Ferrari, Anthony!
Thanks a lot @fiveten
Really nice result on this Ferrari, Anthony @anthonyricco
I do like the chosen color a lot on this model.
Well done.
Thanks so much @johnb - I have lots of red on my shelf so wanted something a little different for this one.
Hi Anthony, I think Ferrari’s should always be red, or yellow, or, in this case blue, it looks great. Good conversion into a spyder, it would sound better from the driver’s seat like that.
Thanks George, yeah I can't just have a shelf full of red, I need some variety in my life as well.
Looks great in blue, nice work!
Thanks so much @roofrat.
Very fine indeed Anthony @anthonyricco! 🍻 Great looking 308, and super work on that conversion to a spyder! 🤩
Thanks a lot Gary, appreciate the comments. Yeah a fun one to work on.
