Hello guys. It 'a long time since I do not write on the forum. title=
For almost one year I've been busy on some projects, only in November I started again modeling.
My collection of Ferrari cames to 250 GT Spyder California, for me one of the most beautiful Ferraris ever produced.
The model I want to build is the 2161GT that I had the pleasure to see live at the "Galleria Ferrari" in Maranello.
Given the beauty of this machine, I decided to improve the Italeri kit in my possession making a fully open version also in order to emphasize the pure aesthetics of this car.

Here are the first pictures of the work.

PS. I don't speak English very well so.... pardon me for my mistakes :-)

Incredible work, already at this stage. I really look forward to seeing more of this - I still remember what you did with the last Ferrari, that was a beauty, as I expect this one will also be.
