Ferrari 348 TS 1993
Bburago #3039 Ferrari 348 TB first came out in 1992
and is still being produced. It has been made in red, yellow and lately in blue.
Converting the base model TB (Berlina or Berlinetta) into a TS version is not so hard,
provided one has the right tools and good Ferrari litterature. (Note: Maisto has
a 348 TS model #31804)

TIPS : - If you are not using the 348 kit version as your starting point, you should strip your base model completely of all its parts before starting. - To remove the Pininfarina and Ferrari decals, use a good decal remover solution but be careful, some solutions can ruin your decals. I prefer to use a weak paint thinner to soften the paint around them and then remove them together with the layer of paint beneath them with a good razer. The disadvantage with this method is that one has to glue them back on when the model is repainted which gives them a risen appearance... still on the other hand that's exactly how they look like on the real car! - When cutting the roof, use a high speed cutting tool, you might be surprised at the hardness and thickness of the metal in some areas. - Use only metal filler. - Use a very high grade water proof sand paper (600 or more) for the final finish before repainting. - Finding good literature and pictures are essential in order to form and make your model accurate.
