This is another one i have to add to my chassis to 3dp list

RE: Anyone for a Ferrari 250 SWB?? - Anthony B - 17th-Apr-20

Alexis - be careful though - the 3 makes are different sizes - so it definitely requires chassis length adjustability....

This is the GPM kit. Casting is outstanding. Cannot fault it. But you need To be a top builder to put all the metal pieces on. As I am not I failed miserably with the rear window surround ?

RE: Anyone for a Ferrari 250 SWB?? - Anthony B - 24th-Apr-20

I have always desired GPM cars - and when I was able to pick up 2 kits recently I was so pleased.

Not so much at the moment.....

The body castings are out of this world. The windows fit like gloves. But I was and am unimpressed with the lights, interior and the lack of a simple instruction.
For anyone out there that needs to build one - the windows need to recess slightly, so that the metal frames fit properly. But there is nowhere that states this. Sio I made a hash of the windows on this one as nothing fitted correctly. I substituted the front headlights for units I bought separately from Spain..

Lets just say my next car of GPM's - the Moss car, will be much better.

Building continues and I have got the rear window surround correct on this one

Why oh why was in a kit of this quality it supplied as left had drive. Both Le Mans and Goodwood versions were right hand drive????

So my hand made correction.

Current situation with the protoslot kit - actually a very very nice rendition - better than the GPM and Ocar versions

[attachment=7568]

Then this is where I am with the Ocar version - actually for the price - a very neat kit!

PS I HATE photgraphing my cars - they look awful under the microscope. Need one of those filters that the old actors/tresses used to smooth away wrinkles Tappingfoot

Nice work - thanks for sharing! I've learned to fit parts together before working on them to get an idea of the work involved. It'll eliminate the rear window/surround issue you happened on.
