Ferrari 550 Maranello Fujimi 1/24 Work in Progress #1

Hi I have started next rehab project!! For starting, test fitting "every" parts ;)
Including clear parts, most of all show the perfect fitting!! Good job, Fujimi!!


But just the tread of the wheels were too wide coming out of the body about 1.5mm. I'll sort it out later.


Anyway, look at this beautiful shape!! This is exactly a super car!!

Haha... Look at this difference of the heights.

This is how I adjust the width of the tread on front wheels.


Left is done, right is before.


Before




And after. Looks fine;)


I'll do another way on rear. Firstly I cut stays of the rear wheel (before)



And after.


Then I cut the rims of the brake disk parts.


Left is before, right is after. I sanded it to smooth surface after this, but do not need to care too much. It's invisible at all and the steel rod would keep the proper wheel position. 




Oh I did this thing as well. Cut about 3mm.


And the result. Looking good;) The height of the body looks a bit lower than the real one, but I'll leave it. It even looks more cool than the original.
























I know some of the modelers just push the tires inside to the wheel rims to solve this prob, but I thought this "Tire slightly to the edge" looks too good to do that, so I took the way I mentioned.
























That's all so far... I'm wondering which color to choose for this beautiful car.

Thanks for watching!
