It will be my first model build, so wish me luck! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right about the size, they should have sent you a life-size model. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have it though I did rebuild it last year. I’m 42 now & it was locked in storage for over 20 years missing lots of parts. Hence the rebuild. So many missing parts I had to hand make things! Good luck on your build & post photos as you go! Edited December 21, 2017 by ZAQ 178 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks great! Thanks for sharing it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger390X Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Funny you mentioned that you have had your model for so many years! I too have had my Daytona for decades and occasionally I come across those Mongram models at flea markets. I found one a couple of years ago for 5 bucks and bought it. I purchased glue paint and a spray bomb and wrapped it up and sent it to Victor over in Europe ( A member on this site) and he built it for himself. It turned out good. There is a thread somewhere on this site about it. I have my model as well as a dies cast 1/24th scale car that was red, that I painted black. Recently I found a small tiny HOTWHEEL version of the car and have it on the dash of my truck. (Wishful thinking) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Vercetti Posted December 22, 2017 Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 That's cool. Could put Crockett and Tubbs action figures in it too. Better keep an arms dealer with a rocket launcher away from it though. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might decide to do a progress type build on here w/ the Testarossa. That can be a lot of work w/ detailed pictures & stuff. We’ll see!

ZAQ 178 Posted January 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 (edited) Progress pic as of tonight. Trimmed/cleaned up all extra flashing & went over the entire body w/ green scorchbright pad. Washed parts in dish liquid, let dry & installed that damn cool high mount drivers side rear view mirror. The Mirror will be painted in the car. The key to clean looking work is in the prep! Edited January 12, 2018 by ZAQ 178 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZAQ 178 Posted January 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 (edited) Good eye Gary! Full-size Tanfoglio Witness 45ACP w/ Wonder Finish & Armadillo horizontal shoulder holster (very much like Sonny’s Galco Jackass setup). This is my main conceal carry piece. The last photo was a recent range day after it just saw 150 rounds though it. That’s why it’s a little dirty.

ZAQ 178 Posted January 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 (edited) The V12 Testarossa engine is now finished as well. Detailed & the plug wires were my addition to it for extra detail. The 2nd pic is the real deal for comparison.

I have an older model of the same one you do without the rail and Novack type Sights. I use the newer K2 Megar Magazines which only hold 14 rounds of 10MM, but I think that would even be enough for Sonny as his Bren only had 11 round mags. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may buy the 10mm conversion kit for mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
