This is a 1/24 scale Protar Ferrari 412T - Click for larger photos.
I made this fictional Ferrari racer from an Italeri 275GTB. I got my hands on some nice Ferrari photoetched scripts, and they look great! And yes, it's a rather American paint scheme... on purpose! The plates are from Detail Master.
Here's a Testors Ferrari 250GTO. I'd like to rebuild this one, as the paint was messed up. I polished it out, and the effect looks like what I like to call "original patina". Wheels are from Herb Deeks, tires from the Monogram Mercedes SLR kit.
This is a Ferrari 250LM. Great little curbside kit! This was my first time spraying a 2 tone paint job.
Ferrari 312P, a nice resin kit from Fisher. This was my first all resin kit. Thankfully it is a very nice quality casting! There is no engine, but it looks very nice on the shelf. (This model won a first place award at the '02 MASSCAR show)
The Revell Ferrari F50. Tamiya also made a nice kit of this car
Here we have a Testors Ferrari 288GTO. This version GTO was made in the early 1980s, unlike the original, which was made in the 1960s. The original also had a V12, while the newer one had a V8! The tires are from Monogram Testarossa kit, and are far more accurate than the rubber blobs included in the kit.

This is the Tamiya Ferrari 360 Modena kit. I ordered 2 and got them as soon as they were released. This is a GREAT kit! Parts fit together like magic, and the metal transfers are great. My reference photos and limited time with the real car show that it's a very accurate kit. Tamiya did a great job on this one and I'm glad they are back making Ferrari kits. The photos of the finished kit are less than great, but you can get an idea of how it turned out. I had a slight paint problem, though. I tried a new paint, called "Ferrari Red", but it's way too dark for the car. There is a darker red that Ferrari used (uses?), but it looks all wrong on this car. I'm hoping most people don't notice...
A Fujimi 330P4. Great curbside kit! They just don't make kits of interesting cars like this anymore... The gold "Firestone" transfers for the tires are a nice detail. (This model won a second place award at the '02 MASSCAR show)
Revell Germany 275GTB NART Spyder. I found out the hard way that using too much glue to attach the rear facia to the back of the body will melt the little spoiler. Nothing I can do about it now...
Testors 365GT Daytona Spyder. Note the non-kit resin wheels. I unfortunately did not know back then that Testors' clearcoat paint yellows. I hope people don't notice...
Tamiya F189 in 1/20 scale. This was my first F1 car. I do not know much about these cars, which explains some incorrect detail under the "hood". But even still, it is a nice looking model!
