Finished: Ferrari 612 GTC

[Dino Scuderia]

In the tradition of the Prodrive 550 Millennio and 575 GTC....I present the Prodrive 612 GTC.

I made it by kitbashing the Revell Scaglietti kit with the Tamiya JGTC Skyline Calsonic R34. I cut the wide fenders and hood heat extractors fron the Skyline and grafted them to the 612 body...then molded and shaped it. Most all the parts are from the Skyline...interior had to be changed to left hand seating position and chassis was lengthened to fit the 612 wheelbase. Some parts were robbed from other kits and my parts box. Rear spoiler is from the Pennzoil Skyline kit, wheels are resin parts from Renaissance. Etched parts are a combo of RM of M, S27's Skyline set and Modeler's. Seat belts are Eduard. SMS carbon fiber was used on the body pieces and Modeler's CF was used on the chassis. Paint is Tamiya TS49 and their TS13 clear.

[Merrill]

[F1_Master]

That is f"ing amazing!

You should try getting a job doing that! You could make some awesome models, that I'd totally buy! :eek:

[Dino Scuderia]

Thanks, mates! To have so many positive comments from avid car enthusiasts is a good feeling!

:)

[man 430gt]

OMG!! Very well done!

[henk4]

[ScionDriver]

Freaking sweet! That thing dominates.

[cuntukimushroom]

Very neat and tidy finish, Thumbs up :)

[R34GTR]

That's awesome I almost thought It was a real ferrari model untill I went do 612 even have race versions? nope.. you made one you're very creative and talented props to you!

[Dino Scuderia]

Thanks again all!

I doubt TamiyaCon would except this since the main focal point of the model is the body which is not theirs.

Isn't there a section on Tamiya transkits? :)

Isn't there a section on Tamiya transkits? :)

Don't really know the rules for that contest as I never cared much for the concept or format....Tamiya produces so few models in recent years that the variety at the contest is severely lacking. If I did enter that event I'd take my Carrera GT Coupe.

well, I would love to see their faces if you propose to enter this one, and exactly for the reason that they produce so few new models. Might be worth a try.

[Esperante]

TS-49....I'm doing a Mini in that colour. ;)

Incredible. Shock and awe. WOW! :D

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Holy S%#t, You've made the 612 Attractive.

Thats some nice work!

[Digitor]

Awesome, i'm lost for words :eek:
(and if i commented i'd probably be repeating what somebody else has said seeing as so many people are completetly astounded by the quality of your modelling and are in the same state as me)

If you'll notice I put photo etched screw heads over them so they are now fasteners for the rear body work.
:D

[Digitor]

Could you take a shot of the engine??

There is no engine in this one, that would have added another month to the making of it.

Thanks all!

You can always sell a well built Ferrari model for a healthy sum and I probably will sell it some day but for now I like it on my shelf.:)

[carsnut]

especially your 612 GTC since chances are that no one else will even think of a race-spec 612. Probably gonna sell it when ur shelves are full, eh.

[SolidStradale]

how did you enlarge those front fenders so perfectly? Its driving me insane how you did all of that, now I want to attempt it!

It's a process of a lot of measurements...adding material....sanding off material etc. til finally everything looks right. Lot of patience.

Here's the build thread, you can get an idea from it to plan your steps.

The wing is from the Skyline JGTC car...which is quite a bit smaller than a 612 so imagine how big it is on the Skyline.:eek:
