AM02-0049 Ferrari 296GTB · 1/24 Scale Full Detail Kit
AM02-0049 Ferrari 296GTB build by breakwong
The 296 GTB was presented as the first "real
Ferrari with just six cylinders on it" on 24 June
2021. Previously, such models were both
designed and built by Ferrari, but marketed as a
new, entry-level Dino brand, below Ferrari's
exclusively V12-model policy, until 1974. The
new car went on sale in 2022. The 296 in the
model name reprises the original Dino's naming
scheme, indicating the engine's displacement
and the number of cylinders. GTB stands for
Gran Turismo Berlinetta.

Unboxing
After opening the product package, take out all
the parts bags and the car body. Since the product
may be damaged during transportation through
the logistics company, you must first check
whether the parts are defective. The A-pillar of the
car shell is more easily damaged. , brake calipers, wheel rims and other small parts. After confirming
that the parts are not damaged, please check
whether the etched sheet is bent and damaged and
whether the water sticker is stained. After
confirming that all standard items are normal, you
can start the preparation
Alpha Model 1/24 scale model car kits provides a wealth of carbon fiber
decals on a large number of parts, including
steering wheels, shift paddles, center controls,
instrument panels, rear diffusers, air knives, etc.,
which are basically the same as real cars. In
addition, the main and passenger seats in the
cab Details such as foot pads and storage nets
are also blessed with PE. I believe the effect will
be great after the building is completed.
This product comes with two sets of rims and
front air knives. Players can choose one set
according to their own preferences. The extra set
of rims can also be used on other models.
Moreover, the lettering on the tires also has a
three-dimensional effect and a better texture.
Alpha Model 1/24 scale model car kits products have precise mold
opening, accurate car shell shape, smooth
surface without burrs and shrinkage, deep
engraved lines, and sharp edges. These features
greatly reduce the difficulty of building.
Each car has its own unique color matching, and players
can also color it according to their own preferences. Before building, you can refer to photos of the actual
car and mark the color of each part on the product
manual to facilitate later coloring; in Ferrari During the building process of the 296GTB car, we need to prepare
some necessary tools in advance, such as: outline pen, paper sandpaper, sponge sandpaper, instant glue, tweezers, marking knife, pen knife, etching sheet bending
pliers, etc. , there are handy tools that can more easily
help players create high-quality static models
Car body treatment
First, observe the various parts of the car shell. Generally, there will be some unevenness at the bottom of the side skirts. You can first use sandpaper to polish and level it. After making sure that there are no problems such as missing flesh, use a 0.15mm caliber scoring knife to deepen the scoring. This is In order to have a more three-dimensional feel after the building is completed, natural shadows are used to express the texture of the engraved line. When carving, you need to pay attention to the intensity from light to heavy. First, gently draw 2 knife along the carving line, and then slowly apply pressure; at the arc position, you can use the elbow hook knife to deepen the carving line. If there is no hook, Line knife, when using a straight-edged scoring knife to deepen, do not carve out of bounds to avoid more trouble, and pay attention to the angle of the knife head, do not carve the curved score line into a straight line.
After adding the deep lines, first use No. 800 paper sandpaper to polish and level the entire car shell. This will increase the sharpness of the entire car. The position of the carved lines will be more obvious and the position of the large plane will be smoother. In the later stage of painting, The effect will be better with varnish. During the polishing process, be careful to
use light force on the arcs and protruding
parts to avoid grinding away the complex
details. After leveling, use 1000 and 1500 # sandpaper to remove the thicker parts.
Sand off the scratches, and then use 1500
and 2000 sponge sandpaper to polish it
again. Use high-grit sandpaper to apply a
little more force, which will make it easier
to polish off the rough scratches. Only
after the surface of the workpiece has
been properly treated, The effect will be
better.
Be careful to wear a gas mask during the polishing process. Resin dust is toxic, so pay attention to protection
Preassembly
Use nozzle pliers to cut off the nozzle of the part bit by bit. Do not cut off the entire nozzle at once to avoid missing flesh. Assemble the polished parts according to the part number in the instruction manual. Alpha model 1/24 scale model car kits mold opening is very precise, and every part They can all be assembled directly, with perfect fit and reasonable spout position. In addition, the plain assembly can also let players know the order of some parts during the assembly process, so that they will not install the wrong parts during the final assembly. In the process of polishing the nozzle and the element assembly, be careful not to use excessive force to cause damage to some very small parts. The parts are easy to fall apart when clamped with tweezers. Parts that are not easy to clamp can be assembled with a dispensing pen. The adhesive used in the plain group can use blue butyl glue
Referring to the actual car picture, the ventilation
grille at the rear of the car must be installed on the
car shell in advance to facilitate coloring and
shaping. If installed after coloring, it may cause
problems such as paint peeling and glue overflow.
If you encounter the problem of glue overflow
during the assembly process, you can use the edge
of sandpaper to gently polish it off to lay the
foundation for the subsequent steps. After the
installation is completed, you can choose to use
800# sponge sandpaper to remove the oxidized
coating on the surface of the etched sheet. Sand it
off to increase the adhesion of the surface so that
the paint can adhere to it better. For metal parts
like PE, we can use Mr.hobby SF287 1000# primer
for spraying. This primer can provide strong
adhesion on the metal surface and will not cause
the paint to fall off with just a touch after it dries.
Paint condition
Coloring
For some parts, I choose to spray the whole plate. First, use masking tape to cover the parts that do not need to be painted, and then use 800 sandpaper to polish the parts that need to be painted. Before painting, I use Mr. hobby SF287 water-filling soil as a primer. Be careful not to spray too thinly when spraying. Use a spray gun to spray multiple layers, so that the paint particles adhere to the surface of the parts layer by layer. Wait until it dries before spraying the topcoat. I use Mr. hobby C28 (black iron color) for the brake disc holder, Mr. hobby C33 (matte black) for the cab floor mat, and Mr. hobby C92 (semi-gloss black) for other parts. Some parts, such as the shift paddles, need to be pasted with carbon fiber. Decals with patterns must be primed with black, and there is no need to choose the gloss, because after the decals are pasted, a layer of transparent varnish must be sprayed to unify the gloss.
After the resin parts are painted, PE can be pasted. Use a toothpick to apply instant glue to the parts, and use tweezers and a glue pen to operate. Toothpick glue can avoid glue overflow caused by too many glue points. Jelly glue can be selected as glue. Liquid glue dries quickly, but due to its high fluidity, glue may overflow when bonding small parts. Jelly glue dries slowly, but has poor fluidity. When pasting etching parts, after joining, the shape can be adjusted in a short time. Once you are satisfied, wait for more than ten seconds to stick it firmly.
You can use micro-scale MI-1 and MI-2 to assist the bonding process of the carbon fiber water sticker. MI-1 is a backing adhesive that can increase the stickiness of the water sticker. MI-2 is a softener. After brushing the softener on the complex curved surface, it can increase the ductility of the water sticker and make it fit the component better.
Internal components
The color of the main instrument panel can be a mixture of 80% black + 20% white instead of pure black, so as to be closer to the color of the real car.Lower instrument panel
Can be painted with white primer and
Mr.hobby C-3 (red)
You can use a contour pen to carefully paint the red edge of the main control area with Tamiya XF-7 enamel paint. If there is paint leakage, use a cotton swab dipped in a small amount of lighter fluid to wipe it off.
The airbag cover uses the same color as the main panelThe rims are painted with a layer of glossy black primer and then Dura Aluminum. The paint particles are very fine. The glossiness of the base color also determines the color quality of the metallic color. The higher the quality of the primer, the stronger the texture of the metallic color.
The tread pattern of the tire is very clear, and because the Alpha model 1/24 scale model car kits mold is very clean, the tire does not need to be trimmed at all and can be directly

After the brake disc is made, you can use Mr.hobby WC01 dye to dye the holes on the disc black to simulate the texture of the holes in a real car.
The brake calipers are finished in gloss black to simulate the metallic feel of the real car.
The exhaust head section cover uses electroplating effect and has a mirror effect.
The exhaust part uses Tamiya X-32 metallic titanium color, and uses appropriate amounts of transparent brown and transparent black to increase the texture.
The storage net bag behind the cab needs to be carefully aligned and pasted, and be careful not to let the glue overflow. And there are PE rivet-like patches on the four corners, which can be pasted with a glue pen.
Body shell
Vehicle A-pillar painted black(C-92)
The inner frame of the windshield is made of matte black (C-33) material, which will look more reasonable after the windshield components are installed.
The inner parts of the wheel arches are finished in matt black (C-33) to create a shadow effect

The interior of the bodyshell is finished in matte black (C-33) to improve the look and feel.
The car shell is first primed with gray resin water, then filled with soil, and then primed with pink. Finally, it is sprayed with Ferrari Russell Red. It is recommended to use Mr. Hobby C-185. If you pursue a mirror effect, you can spray amino varnish. It is recommended to use Glasurit BASF brand 447 varnish.The interior of the front grille is matte black
You need to be more careful when spraying amino varnish. Spraying too much at one time will cause edge accumulation. If the engraved lines are shallow, they will also fill up, thus losing the better texture. Especially the fuel tank part, this position needs more attention, because the area is small, once the amount of paint sprayed by the spray gun is large, the paint surface will become uneven. If there is no way to control it accurately, you can use sandpaper and polishing paste to polish it after it dries. Generally speaking, polishing treatment, in addition to maintaining the gloss and smoothness of the paint surface, also needs to ensure the overall texture of the car body. 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 a beautiful and reasonable work.
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)

Wiper building
Make the swing arm first, and bend it 90° according to the groove on the PE. Be careful not to bend in the wrong direction, because the bending groove is thin. If you bend it too many times, it will break. The connection part between the swing arm and the wiper is relatively small, so you can use tweezers to clamp and bend it.
Bend the wiper bracket following 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.
Pass the buckle of the swing arm head through the hole in the middle of the wiper bracket to complete the assembly.
Final assembly & completion
The air intake grille under the front of the car needs to be compared in advance and bent at a small angle. Alpha model 1/24 scale model car kits has precise mold opening, so you only need to compare the slots. It is recommended to use jelly-like instant glue for bonding when dispensing glue, and pay attention to the control of the amount of glue; because the headlights have no black edges to cover the defects, the glue can use colorless and transparent UV glue. Even if a small amount of glue overflows, it will not be seen. After the position is adjusted, use ultraviolet light to cure.The shape of the rear grille needs to be carefully compared, which is the most difficult part of the whole vehicle. Be careful not to scratch the paint when installing it. In addition, PE is relatively thin, so pay attention to the degree of deformation when bending. Finally, when dispensing glue, be sure not to apply too much glue, do not scrape off the paint on the etching sheet when pressing it, and be careful not to let the glue stick to the parts.
