Ferrari 250GTO Completed Gallery

Hi all,
Here is my Ferrari 250GTO, Gunze Sangyo High Tech Model with Engine, 1/24.
I had this once completed in 2003-2004 (I guess), but now I believe my skills has been upgraded since then (I guess, too) so I became feeling like restoring it.

<The conditions and features completed long years ago>
Color: Mr. Color Red & Mr. Color Monza Red (2:1), Super Clear coated
Mods: Front wheels modified to be steerable (using junk parts), Front light covers and bonnet air intake covers replaced to vacuum formed PVC sheets

<What I did in 2014: restoration>
*Wheels replaced with Model Factory Hiro's 16 inch Borrani wire wheels and Dunlop Racing tires (unfortunately it's long sold out now and it was more than $50 in or about 2000 for 4 wheels &tires set!!)
*Engine detail up: piping and battery added
*Small bolts on light covers and air intakes on front added
*Seat belt (Modellers) added


















An amazing thing, the clear coat had no problems even after 10 or more years of time so I had nothing to do with it. Thanks, Gunze Sangyo (GSI Creos)!!

Well, it was a fun for me to do give a face lift to an item completed long time ago.
