What type of project is it ideal for?

This body is designed for the enthusiast who enjoys both the workshop and the track. If you are passionate about miniature painting, custom finishes, or simply want to reproduce a specific historical livery of the Ferrari 308 GTB, this kit gives you all the freedom to do so. It is also very useful as a replacement when the original body has suffered damage on the track or during transport.

For painting, brands such as Vallejo, Tamiya, or Kaleido offer reference colours that are perfectly compatible with resin, suitable for application with either an airbrush or a brush. We recommend always applying a primer coat before moving on to the final colours to ensure perfect adhesion.

Assembly and Preparation

As it is a white kit, the usual process includes:

1. Fine sanding of the surface to remove any moulding imperfections.
2. Application of resin-compatible primer.
3. Painting of the desired livery (airbrush or brush, according to your preference).
4. Protection with matte, satin, or glossy varnish depending on the desired finish.
5. Assembly onto the compatible chassis with the Avant Slot reference.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this body include chassis, guide, or braids?

No. It is exclusively the unpainted white body kit. The chassis, guide, and braids are not included and must be purchased separately.

Which chassis is this body compatible with?

The body is designed to be mounted on the corresponding Avant Slot chassis for the Ferrari 308 GTB. We recommend checking compatibility directly with us if you have any doubts about which base to use.

What paint is recommended for working on resin?

Vallejo, Tamiya, and Kaleido are very reliable options. The essential thing is to first apply a specific primer for resin to ensure good adhesion of the colours.

Can I use this body to replace the original one on my Avant Slot car?

Yes, it is one of the most common applications. If the body of your model has suffered damage, this kit version allows you to repair or replace it by painting it to your liking.

Is it suitable for enthusiasts without painting experience?

With some patience and the right materials, yes. Resin is a forgiving material that responds well to both airbrush and brush. For beginners, we recommend starting with a brush and acrylic paints from Vallejo or Tamiya.

History: the Ferrari 308 GTB in competition

The Ferrari 308 GTB is one of the most beloved Italian sports cars of the seventies and eighties, both by the general public and the motorsport world. Unveiled in 1975 at the Paris Motor Show, the 308 GTB was born with a fibreglass body—later replaced by steel—and a 3.0-litre V8 engine that made it a benchmark of the era.

In competition, the Ferrari 308 GTB Group 4 reached its peak in the World Rally Championship. With profound modifications compared to the road version—turbocharger, reinforced suspension, and an aggressive look with widened skirts and spoilers—it was driven by figures such as Jean-Claude Andruet, who achieved victory in the 1982 Sanremo Rally, or Markku Alén, who took the car to the podium several times during that season. The 308 GTB also competed in GT circuit categories, leaving an indelible mark on European motorsport of the time.

Its unmistakable silhouette, crafted by Pininfarina, remains one of the most reproduced designs in the world of modelling and slot racing today, and having it in a white kit is an invitation to pay homage to it with your own livery.

The Avant Slot AV20221 Ferrari 308 GTB body kit is an unpainted resin shell designed for slot car collectors and modellers who want to paint and detail their own livery. Compatible with Avant Slot's corresponding chassis for the 308 GTB, it faithfully reproduces the iconic lines of the classic Ferrari GT. Ideal for custom slot car builds, rally livery reproductions and replacement bodywork projects.
