yes, but it's always the famous replica... I would like to know if it's sure that the stacks' cover was either made of drilled aluminium, or it was a metallic mesh... I could try to contact Mario Forghieri, that was charged of the technical direction of Ferrari Corse at the end of '61, after the "revolution" of Chiti, Bizzarrini & C..... But I like more and more the Rodriguez "plexiglas version"....  |

I said that in the picture the "thing" seems too transparent to be drilled metal, but it's also true that it's difficult to shape correctly such a big piece of mesh in this way...
Patrick, if it's drilled, you should take a big dose of patience, and drill a thousand holes in the acetate that you made for the Ricardo's car, then paint yellow... it's mad but it could work...

Welle, let's go on with the WIP... to make the windscreen, the kit provided a template for clear acetate... I slightly modified the template, then I photocopied several times the template on a clear sheet... From left to right, the original template, the first modified sample, and the definitive one  Here, the templates copied on the clear acetate sheet...  Hill's car at Spa had a three-parts windscreen, with a little additional screen held in place by five rivets... I made the little screen from a piece of clear batteries' packaging...  After having cut the windscreen, I scribed on it the two separation lines between the front and the side parts, and I drilled the holes for the 0.4 mm head rivets that I glued in place with vinyl glue after having placed the windscreen itself... before, I had placed the windscreen rivets (0.7 mm head) on the cockpit's edge, and the rivets (0.4 mm head) on the engine air scoops edge... the rear brakes vent scoops were taken from a 250 GTO kit... I also put the Dzus fasteners in place (5 per side)...     The wheels' knock-offs were made from styrene, as I didn't have a correct left-right set, nor the kit supplied it...     Moreover, I hand-painted the "PROVA MO 36" plate on the right side of the tail...  |

Great looking kit. Thanks for taking the time to show the board your building techniques.
I am hoping to be this quality of a modeler when I grow up!!!!!

Beppe, you have given us all many practical pointers to improve our skills. But more than that, you have given us inspiration and a challenge to take a sow's ear and turn it into a jewel. Your 156 build was one of the most enjoyable to watch and I sure hope it didn't burn you out. We will be anxiously looking forward to your next project. spyder

Many thanks to all, guys! You are all very kind and it was a pleasure to share my build with you.... I didn't build a singleseater from a lot of time, and I had this project in my mind from almost ten years... discovering this forum was a very nice experience and I hope to continue... in this moment I would to go on with the 1500cc Formula 1 champions (1961-1965) and so the next project should be the BRM P57 driven by Graham Hill ('62 winner)... but I often change... Once I found this very valuable forum, I think also to ask for your help in building my Monogram Kurtis Kraft roadster... Thank you very much indeed!  |

Always wanted to see one of these in person. This and Lauda's 312 are my two favorite GP cars. Congratulations on a beautiful job.  |

You will never see one of those in person. Enzo had them all destroyed, the couple that are around now-a-days are replicas.

Beppe,
Excellent craftsmanship! Your work is inspiring and I learned many things from you! I agree about Olivier's "thing", but I don't have the precision necessary to drill that beastie!

Thank you to all again...
I'm glad if my work was useful for someone else, but me too, I took a lot of inspiration looking at your wonderful creations, and I got many ideas for my next projects... I'm proud to be among you!

I can't think of any comments to top what has already been said, but I wanted to recognize the fact that this is an amazing example of model building. Thanks for sharing.

Beppe:
An incredible job! A tough kit to make, but yours shows what can be done with enough effort...I learned some new things and look forward to future WIP's...I also love the Targa Florio and recently finished the '56 winner, the Jimmy Flintstone Porsche 550, modified...I'll post pictures when it gets decals...is Sicily as beautiful as it looks in old Targa photos?

Anyone looking for this kit? I have one that I will sell. I inventoried it, because the box is a little rough with some water damage, and it is missing a knock off, other than that it is complete. Please PM Me for price and shipping.. Chris

Tim Thank you very much, Tim... Yes, Sicily is beautiful in spite to Sicilians' efforts to ruin it... maybe today is a little worse than in the old Targa era... we suffer for the general Italian crisis, that is heavier in the Southern Italy... and our politicians try to make a mess of our land every day... But it surely worths a journey still today... we have several types of wonderful sea (beaches, rocks, cliffs), the Etna volcano and its natural park (a world in itself), the little islands all around, lots of archeology, from ancient Phoenicians and Greeks to Middle Age, a lot of historical architecture and art... You've just to get the right spirit to visit it, the same spirit that you must have when visiting e.g. Brazil or India... The Targa Florio course was something very, very far from US tracks: one lap was 72 kms of winding and narrow roads on the Madonie Mountains... best laptime around 33 minutes in 1970... If you want to come, I will be happy to help you! Do you know www.targapedia.com? It's the reference sit to get pictures of all Targa editions from 1906 to 1977 (end of the endurance race, before rally version), very useful for modelers! |

I can't wait for your Porsche 550, '56 winner... me too, I have the Jimmy Flintstone transkit... I've lent it to one of my friends to create a full resin kit of the '56 car, but it's still on his workbench...

Hi, Great job! Not an easy kit, but such a nice result: BRAVO! Pascal Thank you Pascal, we've met on www.forum-auto.com (maquettes ou kits à monter)... your jobs are astounding... I admit that I could put some more rivets on my Sharknose... I will try on my next model... |
