Ferrari 296GTB 1/24 Scale Model Build Guide PART 2 (AlphaModel)

Ⅵ. 1/24 Scale Body shell

The engine room cover is black and covered with amino varnish to increase the aesthetics. When separating red and black, be careful to cover the red to avoid paint leakage and loss of aesthetics.

The black decorative strip under the tail wing is sprayed with varnish and then sprayed with semi-gloss black (C-92)

The interior of the rear ventilation grille and the exhaust bracket are matte black (C-33)

You need to pay more attention to the amino varnish during the spraying process. Spraying too much at one time will cause accumulation at the edges. If the engraved line is shallow, it will also fill up the engraved line, thus losing the better texture, especially on the fuel tank. You need to pay more attention to this position because the area is small. Once the paint output of the airbrush is large, the paint surface will become uneven. If there is no way to accurately control it, you can use sandpaper and polishing paste to polish it after it dries. Polishing treatment, in general, in addition to maintaining the gloss and smoothness of the paint surface, it must also ensure the overall texture of the car shell. The beauty of a model is not only reflected in the color or gloss, but is composed of many details. Yes, it takes a lot of effort to make beautiful and reasonable works.

Ⅶ. Wiper production (ALPHA MODEL)

First make the swing arm and bend it 90° according to the groove on the etched sheet. Be careful not to bend it in the wrong direction because the bending groove is thin. If you bend it too many times, it will cause breakage. The swing arm and wiper Because the connected part is relatively small, you can use tweezers to hold it and bend it.

Bend the wiper bracket according to the groove, and bend the top of the bracket into a square opening.

Pass the wiper blade through the square hole of the water hanging bracket and fix it in the center.

Pass the buckle of the swing arm head through the hole in the middle of the wiper bracket to complete the assembly.

Ⅷ. Final assembly & completion

The air intake grille at the Ferrari 296GTB bottom of the front of the car needs to be compared in advance and bent at a small angle. Alphamodel is accurate in mold opening, and you only need to compare the slots. When dispensing glue, it is recommended to use jelly-like instant glue for bonding. Pay attention to the amount of glue. Control; because the headlights do not have black edges to cover the blemishes, the glue can use colorless and transparent UV glue. Even if there is a trace amount of glue overflow, it will not be visible. Wait for the position to be adjusted and then use the ultraviolet light to solidify.

The shape of the grille at the rear of the car needs to be compared carefully. This is the most difficult part of the whole car. When installing, be careful not to scratch the paint. Also, the etched sheet is thin, so pay attention to the degree of deformation during the bending process. Finally, during the dispensing process, be sure not to apply too much glue. When pressing the etched sheet, do not scrape off the paint on the etched sheet, and be careful not to get glue on the parts.

Pay attention to the contrasting positions of the Ferrari and Prancing Horse logos in the middle to ensure they are affixed in the middle.
