Hi guys !

I started a new project for the production of transkit .
This will be set to convert the Ferrari 328 GTB \ GTS Hasegawa in the sports version of the Ferrari 308 rally .
Hasegawa set includes a lot of parts for chassis and engine.That is why I chose it as a donor.

I added a few new parts for the rear power of the framework.

http://romik505.users.photofile.ru/photo/romik505/96598152/xlarge/124408041.jpg

To change the body, I took an old set Revell 308 Magnum. I did not use body Revell entirely, because he did not correct very low roof. I took only the back and top of the front.

http://romik505.users.photofile.ru/photo/romik505/96598152/xlarge/124407970.jpg

For the back cover I picked up the lattice from 308 Monogram. Monogram body has a very good view. But it differs in size from Hasegawa. And my first thought is to use the whole body was not successful.

http://romik505.users.photofile.ru/photo/romik505/96598152/xlarge/124472876.jpg

For the front bumper, I used parts from Revell Monogram and. The front grille of the Monogram, but the holes are made in full.Bumper will be a separate item. It is easier to assemble and manufacture.
http://romik505.users.photofile.ru/photo/romik505/96598152/xlarge/125060417.jpg

I had a set with a body targa and I had to make a new framework for the rear windows. I plan to have a complete new rear glass. So you can use any set of 328 Hasegawa.

I'll be very glad to your comments.

Hello Roman
Great news about the 308 rally...
I also work in my conversion but I 'm sure it will not be as great as yours
http://s2.postimage.org/mfwic45g7/WIP_Ferrari308_GTB_Rally_068.jpg

I 'm interest to buy this transskit for sure, to make an engine version... Count me when its ready.
Also I want to say a public big "THANKS" for your help to find a decal set and for your decals, you send to me...

Good luck until the end with this great project...

I've been putting together my Group 4 project using a "TILT" Ferrari 308 and a Hasagawa Stratos. I haven't figured out the roll cage or all the interior. Good luck with your project. I will be following with a lot of interest.

Great to see you tackle another "kitbash" project.
I'm afraid it's not a very interesting subject for me personally. But i love to watch your great work, so I'll be following this build closely.

Yep, glad to see that you are doing the 308. You already made a great start chopping the body's of different models. Would love to see it in the Pioneer livery. Keep up the good work.

Hello !
Thank you for your interest. I did a little new.
I increased the thickness of the body from the inside. It was a long and not interesting.
http://romik505.users.photofile.ru/photo/romik505/96598152/xlarge/125060495.jpg

The lower part will be new in the set. Suspension parts are standard from Hasegawa.
http://romik505.users.photofile.ru/photo/romik505/96598152/xlarge/125367503.jpg

I tried the body with the front wheels from Lancia. I was afraid that it will be very wide, but the wheels have come good.

http://romik505.users.photofile.ru/photo/romik505/96598152/xlarge/125367490.jpg

The kit will have two versions of the headlights. Open and closed. And of course be additional lights. I do not know how they sound in English. Russian rally-fans call them "chandelier".

Livery is just blue with a red Pioneer. It might be the second option blue livery Pioneer.

Matwej , спасибо вам за информацию, очень интересно для меня.
I saw your Ferrari for a rally. I've been thinking about the model 308, but your was the impetus for beginning the project.:smile:

http://romik505.users.photofile.ru/photo/romik505/96598152/xlarge/125583919.jpg

And where is the place for the protection of a cage in the dashboard ?
The block with the holes on the edge of the dashboard, what is that ? The pictures I know, it is not. :uhoh:

I've put together parts of the interior.
I tried to connect the body and chassis, but it did not work the first time. Several times I rewrote the side panels and rear panel of the interior.
Wait until you have a protection cage and seats. :evillol:

Your comments are very useful for me. Thank you.
I look forward to further progress.:smokin:

Looks very nice. Engine detail will help sell the kits. I already have a Big Model kit of the Pozzi car along with the Tilt kit from Japan. The Tilt kit is of a group 4 car with different flares as raced at Daytona and Sebring in 1977 or 1978 if I remember correctly. It is the best plastic kit of a 308 to date.

Hi.
I need your help.
I made a roll cage. But I'm not sure that everything is correct. I see different cars on different configurations of pipes. I think that the two pipes are replicas of Ferrari. But I have thought to leave the two pipes. Cut off the excess will not be difficult. I think it should solve every builder himself. What do you think?

http://romik505.users.photofile.ru/photo/romik505/96598152/xlarge/125929797.jpg

And the second question:
I started to think about the decals for this version of the livery.
http://romik505.users.photofile.ru/photo/romik505/96598152/xlarge/125929793.jpg

I can make a blue decals, but some of them will be very difficult when applied.
If you do only part of the blue decals, there may be differences in color.
I think maybe to paint the body in two colors using a mask.
What do you think?

Roman,

First of all, I'm extremely happy to see this progress, it looks fantastic.

Now to your questions - I agree that two pipes is a good idea as removing one is somewhat easier than adding one.

As for the blue areas, why not have both options - include both the decals and the painting (colour code and mask?) instructions and then the builder will be able to decide which way to choose or maybe to go with a combination of paint and decals.

Hi Roman,
I'm 99% sure there wasn't 2 diagonal bars on the works Ferrari 308... But also sure the bar starts from the corner of the main central part, not from the side vertical one as you did on your rollcage, and it's visible on the burnt 308 pic.
If you release the pioneer version no need to put additional bars to me, belonging to each of us to work and modify the rollcage if needed to get eventual privates cars.
Concerning the paint, I'm not for a decal/paint combo solution, half of a thing + half of another one never did an entire thing...
I would better appreciate a good masking plan with templates to get a full painted body.
If decal and paint dont perfectly match (and it -almost- never does... ) that may be visible as the noze in the middle of the face.
I'm for painting. ;)

10-16-2011, 01:28 PM

Thank you guys. Your advice is really helping me.
Phil, you're absolutely right about the top of the pipe. I have changed this part.:smile:
With the decals blue, I see two problems: I'm not sure what will happen carefully put on the engine cover and front bumper.
And yet, perhaps a little transparency is blue with a red body.
And I also agree with Phil, the combination will not be good.
I will try to make a model decals for bumper and covers engine. Maybe it's not as difficult as it seems .

Late, but still. :runaround:
The frame:
It depends on which Group it is.
Gr.2 and Gr.4 has only one tube at an angle. Two tubes in the cross of St. Andrew (Flag of the Russia navy fleet :wink: ) the car is under new regulations . Regulations changed in 1985/86 .
No horizontal pipe there.:nono:
http://www.specialstage.com/forums/showthread.php?40336-The-Original-Rally-Supercars

To decals and color variants:
Color masks and just deal with advertising decals. Pioneer's version is very well known. More interesting is the car from rallye Hunsrück 1982, Jean Claude Andruet the driver .

I would suggest, but it may be due to the test fit, to make extra lights have a straighter sight, they look too much to the ground to me... ;)

Hi guys.
I got a ready-made parts for the body and the second set in preparation for painting.
http://romik505.users.photofile.ru/photo/romik505/96598152/xlarge/126802074.jpg

We decided on the coloring - will have two options. Red and blue Pioneer (Tour de Corse and Monte - Carlo 1982), and blue Pioneer (Tour de France 1982)
http://romik505.users.photofile.ru/photo/romik505/96598152/xlarge/126802082.jpg
http://romik505.users.photofile.ru/photo/romik505/96598152/xlarge/126802085.jpg

Will be different vheels for the blue Pioneer and will not be lower fog lamp.
Now there is a preliminary layout for printing decals.
http://romik505.users.photofile.ru/photo/romik505/96598152/xlarge/126800643.jpg

If you see inaccuracies - please let us know.
I decided to do some blue stripes on the decals. I need to do a test blue color for decal manufacturers.
What do you think about the TS - 44 ? I think this is the most similar color available for all modellers.
