Jacques has just completed this 275 GTB/4 and for the first time will be applying a technique to give the car a dirty/dusty finish. Normally his models look like new or restored cars so this will be quite interesting to see how he applies the affect. Stay tuned for next photos...

The final result. Jacques imagined how the Ferrari would look after a spirited winter drive from Vancouver to New York. I was thinking Swiss Alpes but you can imagine your own route. This model is now available to purchase!

That is quite something... It would be a real talking point in anybody's collection :o)

Bravo Jacques!

For those would prefer to keep her safe in a heated garage on a battery tender, this can be ordered "clean" as well. :-)

I saw that car at Concourso Italiano and had the same thought when Jacques sent the photos. I told him it looked like it should be in a 1/43 barn.
