    Hi, I'm a newbie! Long time Ferrari fan and model builder.

    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.

    Here's progress pics hosted on my pal's account.

    You did the impossible. You made the 612 look far better than it ever did before (imo). Good job.

    First of all welcome! Your model looks great and it's done with great skill. Is it still a fourseater? Would be nice to be taken for a ride in! :)

    Ciao, Peter

    Nicely done! I haven't been in the model scene for a while, but fabricating your own stuff (well...mixing and matching)....that's awesome! Great job!

    Thanks!

    I don't do commission work any more, and 1/18 is not the scale to be modeling in anyway.

    BTW, did I see your Spider at Amelia Island Concours in the parking garage? I saw one very similar which had Ostrich leather interior....can't tell from the pic if yours does.
