I'm not going to use it. i will make this one of my long term builds.

the Kit is a Revell of Germany kit
Model: Ferrari Testarossa
its scale is 1/12

here are a few pics of the kit:









and for size comparison:

the blue Volkswagen notchback is a standard 1:24 scale model kit
and the purple beetle is a standard hot wheels car in 1/64

so you can see the size of this kit!







but you might be asking yourself... Chris Why are you not using it for the build off?

I'll tell you...

this kit, even though it has alot of pieces and is fairly detailed just out of the box, i am not using it because to me IT LACKS ALOT OF DETAIL!!!

for one, it does not come with brake calipers or rotors,
two the interior is kinda simple,
and three the engine is junk.

i'm going to make my own engine and interior from scratch using resin and molds, and i will cast my own parts from metal.
pretty much all the parts in the kit, minus the chassis and body are just going to be used as templates for my own custom parts.

with this project, i might not finish until next summer with the things i will do to it.



so as for the model kit build off, i guess i need to find another kit. Sad
