Way back in dreamtime...an Italian company named Polistil produced a Ferrari 312 B3/1973...the only problem was/is that it was too bloody short! I bashed one anyway and, of course, it looked too short! I dreamed of getting two of them and slicing and dicing them into a proper length. I sold the bashed model sometime in the late 80's and it came back to me a few years back with another body So finally...
...I used my Xacto razor saw to cut a clean line behind the radiator vents on one and measured the other body to lengthen the body...
...the wheels are from the "model"...
So...now on to the engine! I used a Monogram Testa Rossa flat-12, but I had to modify the block because it has part of the transmission under it. I sliced it off and glued the bottom plate back on.
...add some bits and paint...presto! A racing flat-12 Ferrari...
...parts in place ready for assembly...next? Adjusting the damn thing
together. I recently have been having a bear of a time with this step what with the ride height and getting the suspension squared.
