Final Photos - Ferrari 312B - Tamiya 1/12

[cor]

Ferrari 312B from 1970 in 1/12.

Tamiya kit from 1971.

Build thread here: Build thread

Lots of aluminium foil and wire, and the usual assortment of wires and tiny nuts and screws. Leather interior. MFH seatbelt.

Fairly heavily weathered to look like it's had a season racing. Hope you like it.




















My dads racing books, from a similar era.

Thanks Scott, Im glad you enjoyed following it along. It was a very enjoyable build of an amazing 52 year old model.

Stunning result! And from an era when drivers were held in more by their backsides clenching the seat than by their belts.

That really is beautiful
