Ferrari GTC4 Lusso – Alpha (1/24)

Post by JesusM »

Primero de todo, Feliz Año a todos!!

First of all, Happy New Year to all!

Puedo decir que este proyecto ya está terminado. Le añadí los limpiaparabrisas, retrovisores exteriores, los emblemas de Ferrari y los cristales de los faros que pegué con el Ultra Glue de MIG.

I can say that this project is now finished. I added the windscreen wipers, exterior mirrors, Ferrari emblems and the headlight lenses which I glued with MIG Ultra Glue.

Y aquí mi valoración tanto del kit como de mi trabajo: el kit tiene unas lineas muy buenas, y está hecho con una resina muy lisa y bien terminada sin apenas burbujas. Tanto las piezas como los fotograbados encajan a la perfección auqnue tengo que comentar unos puntos. El primero es que los cristales que vienen muy bien creados, con dos plasticos en ambas caras para protegerlos, encajan a la perfección sobre la carrocería, pero con las capas de imprimación, pintura y laca, hayq ue ajustarlas porque si no, los cristale slaterales no caben en su hueco. Otro punto son las fijaciones de las ruedas delanteras son un poco grandes y hacen que éstas sobresalgan de la carrocería. Para arreglarlo, hay que cortar un poco dichas fijaciones, por la parte interior, en lugar de la exterior, que es la que yo modifiqué. Y los fotograbados, son muchos y hay que trabajarlos con cuidado porque algunos son muy pequeños y frájiles. Es una lástima que el interior no se vea porque con tanto detalle, queda muy vistoso (quizás por ello es que me compré el 488 Spider para que se pueda ver bien!!). Y el resultado está ahí, un coche precioso y un diseño que llama la atención, de buenas líneas al que se le puede sacar mucho, pero hay que ser muy limpio con el trabajo. Sin más. las fotos finales!! Espero que os guste!

And here is my assessment of both the kit and my work: the kit has very good lines, and is made with a very smooth and well finished resin with hardly any bubbles. Both the pieces and the photoetched parts fit perfectly, although I have to comment on a few points. The first is that the crystals that come very well created, with two plastics on both sides to protect them, fit perfectly on the body, but with the layers of primer, paint and lacquer, you have to adjust them because if not, the side crystals do not fit in their hole. Another point is that the front wheel mountings are a bit big and make the front wheels stick out of the bodywork. To fix it, you have to cut them a bit, on the inside, instead of the outside, which is what I modified. And the photo-etched parts, there are a lot of them and you have to work them carefully because some of them are very small and fragile. It’s a pity that the interior can’t be seen because with so much detail, it’s very eye-catching (maybe that’s why I bought the 488 Spider so you can see it well!!). And the result is there, a beautiful car and a design that catches the eye, with good lines that you can get a lot out of it, but you have to be very clean with the work. Without further ado, the final photos! I hope you like it!
