    First is the Iron Dames Ferrari 488 GTE from Le Mans 2022.
    It is based on MFH 1/12 kit with custom decals. The paint was done withh Zero paint (custom fluo pink with another pink and then coated with a semi-matt lacquer)

    I met the girls at 24h Spa last year and presented them my model and they sign it.

    Good to see your models.

    Very nice work. I see your XJR12 in your picture file, and it also looks great. I wish Hiro would do a XJR14 in 1/12th scale. One of my favorite cars.
    Borrani wheels have directional spinners. Check the Hiro 64 GTO model photos. The model looks superb!

    I'm looking forward to how you handle the windshield and back window frame gaskets and trim; I was not successful in getting them to fit properly.

    Very nice GTO.

    Spoiler alert, the 1/12th Hiro 250 GTO finished. Only thing you should change are the directional Borrani spinners. They go the other direction on the real car.

    I didn't use the decals for the blue, I made a mix with Zero paint and airbrush it

    You get the ride height just right to make the model look beautiful. I notice a lot of modelers miss that and make them too high or too low.

    I just want to say that I am very impressed and inspired by your beautiful work. I completed the MFH 250 GTO and 1967 312, both I would say with considerable success. I'm taking on the Cobra 427 next.
