View Full Version : Ferrari
pshoe64 12-30-2008, 05:57 PM I finally got a moment to paint up a Ferrari 275. I think the NART car in green is next. Wouldn't want to run out of red paint:rolleyes:

The Ferrari is perched on an AW Super-III with SRT rims (cause they look so Ferrari!). I use double sided tape to mount the bodies, so I can place it about any where and use any chassis. The ride height is about where I wanted it to be as stock. The real cars sat so low anyway, but there is room to get it a bit lower. I may build the next one on a Life-like chassis or wait until the Mega-G 1.5 chassis come out. I'm getting the S-III to really dial in now, so I may stick with those for a while. Once I had figured out how to tweak 'em into performance, I've really started liking them. And they have all those wheelbase options! Anyone know of some deep dish spoke rims for HO? I would think somebody would have made a photo-etched insert by now. Maybe I need to see what's involved in getting that done next??? Can't have all these older GT cars running without spokes and knock-offs!:thumbsup:

The NART 250 LM of Jochen Rindt and Masten Gregory was a long nose bodied car. It was red and ran as #21. The second place regular 250 LM entered by Pierre Dumay was yellow. It was driven by Dumay and Gustave Gosselin with race number 26. It had a red color flash on the doors just above the roundel.

OK I give up where are these inserts at? I acn't find them. I see the BSRT wheels and some RRR 3R tires and wheels but no HO photo etched inserts

slotcarman12078 12-31-2008, 09:20 PM The only etched insert I've run across are the Vincent BBS wheels. Mev's has them, but they're limited to just a couple sizes, and 2 finishes. $3.00 a pair, 2 pair required, plus tires for the skinny ones...

The Vincent wheels are BBS style that are way more modern than the Borani Wires that came on 60's Ferraris. RRR wires are a better match but I don't really recomend them for anything but T-jets.
hoslotcarracing.com has some Wire wheels that look pretty nice. I haven't ordered any yet but I will be soon and considering the quality I have gotten from him in the past I know I will not be disappointed. The only negative I see with his are that the center section appears to come in bare resin which will require painting. Black acrylic base with Alclad II over it will give you a very nice chrome finish. Add a clearcoat once they're finished and they'll be beautiful and durable.

slingshot392 01-01-2009, 07:27 PM That’s an awesome Ferrari! Very realistic looking. I’m not sure if I missed it somewhere, what chassis are you running?

This one has an AW Super III with SRT Turbo rims. I've got the S-III running pretty good now and really like the wheelbase options. But a standard wheelbase fits under the Ferrari body just fine.
