Berlinetta Bargain

[tractorboy]

Not sure of Richard (rvrevro) is still posting but pretty sure he's got one of these that is a distinct metallic green/blue.
Great find.

Very nice find kiwi78. These are hard to find and almost as hard to photograph.

I found mine at an indoor toy fair with overhead fluorescent lighting. The color was almost unrecognizable until I got the model outside. The paint seems fairly thin almost as if it missed a second coat.

Yours is in better shape than mine.

Enjoy!

You're quite right and I've struggled to photograph it too. It never wants to come out right. In my opinion the best result I have achieved so far is this picture. The Berlinetta in question sits below the light blue Iso Grifo, behind the dark green and standard green variations and in front of the red Superfast.

That is a very good photograph which shows the true colour of the Berlinetta well. I have also found that a daylight bulb in a lamp gives a pretty good and true representation of a models colour. The links shows a typical daylight bulb.

hi peeps, long time no see.

aha, my favorite subject, and the light met.blue 'sea-green' Berlinetta. A rare find indeed.
Have had one for decades.

Made couple better comparison photos so you can see the different shades of green better too.

3 different shades of green

Welcome back Richard and what a nice little collection of Berlinettas. You came back at the right time to catch this thread, I know you have been on 'Planet Diecast' more than here but did not want to disturb you asking for you to come and see this Ferrari thread.

Now your here, why don't you start posting pictures of anything from your collection, we have a special member's gallery for that now, you must have added some to your collection since your last visit, cheers.

my friend Rodger told me about it, and found the email whilst I was clearing the mailbox.

That was good timing...

Love the Yellow example, why has nobody else done it in this colour, looks great, did you do this yourself Richard.

Great thread! I haven't done a yellow one yet either, it looks great!!

Such an elusive car, the blue-green Ferrari. I am 99% convinced I have one, but can never seem to photograph it in the right light..
