Ferrari 812 Competizione, Alpha Model 1/24
Aloha,
Lately I decided to build something easy still beautiful just to get my mojo back and continue working on my Ferrari f40 GTE by MFH. There is no better option than an Alpha Model Ferrari 812 Competizione. I have no idea how they do it, but those guys are making excellent resin models and making a lot of them. The kit is nearly perfect, there are 50ish resin parts 100+ Photoetched ones and close 150 decals including full carbon fiber. Speaking of Carbon fiber decals, those usually are real PITA, but not this time. Well there are a lot of them, many are really small and complicated, but all fit perfectly! Enough praise though, only issue I had with the model is the front grill, which height is like 0.5mm to much and you need to trim it, but more or less that was the only issue with the model.
The colour I picked is Grigio Silverstone by StreetBlisters, a brand I used for the first time. As far as I say they are good, very good! I would say at least on par with Zero Paints and maybe better, but that is based on one paint experience, so need to try couple more colors before being able to state it firmly.
I think the 812 design is heavily inspired by 250 GTO and the last pictures are kind of proving my point ;) Hope you like them!
Enough talk, here are the pictures :)
