So, the time I have the Saint Grail has arrived!
Ferrari 250 GTO!
I have It!
I choose the Kyosho 1/18th because of his proportions. And it is awesome! What stance, what shape. I can't get my eyes off.
But... you know my habits... I thought to modify it. In this case it is about detailing the HiEnd Kyosho 1|18th Ferrari 250 GTO.
The model is outstanding except the under-body where there are no wires, pipes or rubber pipes. So, I get some documentation on the net and I replicated the most of them. I'm pretty sure there are not identical with the real car, but as general look is pretty good. We have to take in account that in reality there are some kind of unique treatment for each car. The history of every one of them puts the mark on the car itself making an unique car. Sometimes there are big changes except the chassis number, which it is the only fixed point in the universe of each one from the 39th units ever made.
So, knowing the mass production model, I'll show you what I have done.
Enjoy the pics below.
The fourth generation of E-Klasse from Mercedes was launched in 2009. The first presentation for the press was at NAIAS 2009 in the United States. First presentation in Europe was in the same year at the Geneva Motor Show.
Design work began in 2004 after the development program commenced in 2003, with the exterior design by Winifredo Camacho and interior design by Thomas Stopka being selected in 2005. After refinements and engineering considerations being made, the final design specifications were frozen in 2006. Certain elements of the exterior styling are taken from the preceding W204 C-Classand W221 S-Class each designed in 2002 and 2003. The bulging rear wheel arches are meant to be reminiscent of the fender flares of historic "Ponton" Mercedes models of the 1950s. The design of the W212 and C207 E-Class was previewed by the ConceptFASCINATION design study in September 2008.

The model I present is an Maisto @ 1|18th scale modified. Stance, SLR rims, tow-tone interior and black chrome are easily notice as diffrences comparing with the serial model.
The details you can see in the photos below.
Enjoy the ride.
It is the 21st of January 2018. Everybody is waiting for a snowy night. Every body is ready to fight the nature... we imagine that...!
Those this things remembers me a conversion I made in Christmas Holyday.
The base is the Renault Kerax 8x4 dump truck. I adapted a snow plow from the Kerax "chasse neige" an that's all. Some weathereing in the dumper was also added for close to reality look.
The model is damn big. Just look at it.
