Re: ferrari 250 california spyder

Nice job you've made of an awful kit. I made this one some 20 years ago and had to remake and nickle plate the side and front grill surrounds due to poor casting/plating of the Renaissance parts.

well done.

Re: ferrari 250 california spyder

Very nice work. Good to see another color other than red on a California model!!

Re: ferrari 250 california spyder

Beautiful job on the Ferrari. I have an Italeri version in progress which I am doing in Black with tan interior. Hope it looks as good as yours when it is done.
Regards,
Steve.

Yeah, there are some spotty things about the Renaissance, but is has a more accurate body IMO than Italeri version. Nice, clean work!

Agree, Renaissance body is better proportioned than Italeri.
Beautiful work on this Cal Spyder. Color combo is terrific.
