Default 599 to 599xx

I've been pretty busy for the last 'long' while but I've got a entire summer free and I'm planning to dedicate it to the hobbie, while i'm waiting on some stuff to arrive this is going to keep me busy...

Its a plastic kit by Revell America, cost me $24, as it sits its fresh from the box a Ferrari 599 GTB but my aim is to do the necassary body-mods to make into a 599xx, pics can speak, its white bw, jus looks odd in the yellow light














(Am I allowed to make these pictures larger than the above size? & this is in the correct section right?)

Does anyone kno of internet retailers that sell polystyrene sheets?

TowerHobbies has a lot of choices.

Another idea is to flip open your Yellow Pages/Phone Book and check local plastics stores and see if they have anything your size. More often than not they are cheaper than hobby shops, and sometimes even cheaper than TowerHobbies. That is if you don't mind the leg (or mouth in this case) work.

Cheers,
Kyle.

photobucket's 15" screen option is the correct size here for the max size
