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.

I wish you very merry Xmas

Merry Xmas!! Sorry I haven't updated so long, but I've been enjoying my modeling continuously. Beside, I've never finished this many kits in a year!! ....and I didn't update... ha ha

This lovely Beetle is the most recently finished one.

And, I restored 250GTO which had been finished 12 years (over 12?) ago previously.

 And, finished Ferrari 550 Maranello with lots of modifies. 

This year; 2014, I have luckily come to meet modeling mates. This drove me to finish more models than I used to. 

My class 2014 were LEXUS 350 IS, New Beetle in blue, Ferrari 550 Maranello, Ferrari 250 GTO; restored, New Beetle in Green. This is amazing!! I normally finished only one yearly! ...I enjoy fishing and cooking as well (and working, of course), so I was too busy to update this blog...

Hopefully I can finish one more restoration until the end of this year. 

I hope you have very merry Xmas and a happy new year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;))))))
