No, I wasn't suggesting that Jeremy cast the Fujimi engine. I was just trying to make you aware of a source for a nice DFV engine.

Fujimi's Dome-O Zero kit has a very nice 1/24 scale DFV Picture here.

Looks great Jeremy. I too have noticed on several period photos that the rear wheels are slightly forward in the wheel opening on both the roadsters and the coupes. Good stuff.

Thanks for the comments gentlemen. Yea, Bill unfortunately that is about the going rate for the Revell kit. Beware the windshield frame on the Revell kit is very fragile.

Thanks Tommy and I agree that the flairs change the character of the car. I like the car even without the flairs.

Hasegawa & Heller both made some nice 1/24 scale Moto GP bikes. Here are the few that I have in my collection.

Added hood pins, fuel filler and jacking points in the door sills. Getting close to final paint.

Here is the view of the engine that you will have on the completed model. Like this shot with the car on the body dolly.

Small update. Battery tray fabricated and installed. Remote oil filer, and oil fill tube fabricated and installed on the driver side engine bay.

Love seeing rally cars on here.

This is a great idea. A great model MUST have the right wheel/tire. I am happy to contribute. Here is a link to my Fuchs collection

Interesting build choice for you. I will be watching.

The Sunny/Minicraft kit is 1/25 scale. It is the AMT kit (chassis, suspension, engine) with a modified body and interior. Sorry for intruding on your thread Ray.

Jeremy, I would use the 289 out of Monogram's GT350 for your Daytona project. Much better starting point.

It is the AMT kit with a modified body and interior. It is the same kit that Sunny released. Love the Minicraft box art.

Rear suspension complete. Mockup.

Great work on this Jeremy. Looks like the kit is getting closer.

Front suspension complete.

From what I have read the main issue was that Montezemolo wanted to keep Ferrari autonomous and separate from the parent company (Fiat Chrysler Automobiles) while Marchionne (Fiat CEO) wants to bring Ferrari more under the FCA umbrella to boost FCA's stock value. The F1 team's declining performance over the last decade also played a major role.

Very nice.

I'm no Hamilton fan but I really like your build Curt.

Luca di Montezemolo will step down as Ferrari chairman, putting an end to a week of speculation about his future. At the weekend Montezemolo said he intended to see out a three year deal with the company, but on Wednesday confirmed he was standing down. He said he felt it was time to move on ahead of parent company FIAT Chrysler Automobiles' planned flotation on the New York Stock Exchange next month. "Ferrari will have an important role to play within the FCA Group in the upcoming flotation on Wall Street," he said. "This will open up a new and different phase which I feel should be spearheaded by the CEO of the Group. "This is the end of an era and so I have decided to leave my position as Chairman after almost 23 marvellous and unforgettable years in addition to those spent at Enzo Ferrari's side in the 1970s. "My thanks, first and foremost, to the exceptional Ferrari women and men from the factory, the offices, the race tracks and the markets across the world. They were the real architects of the company's spectacular growth, its many unforgettable victories and its transformation into one of the world's strongest brands. "A warm farewell and my thanks also to all of our technical and commercial partners, our dealers across the globe and, most particularly, the clients and collectors whose passion I so wholeheartedly share. But my thoughts go also to our fans who have always supported us with great enthusiasm especially through the Scuderia's most difficult moments." He is expected to be replaced by FIAT boss Sergio Marchionne, who earlier this week warned Montezemolo that "nobody is indispensable" and criticised the performance of the F1 team. The end of an era Luca di Montezemolo's departure represents a key change in the direction of Ferrari, but one that has been a long time coming. For some time Montezemolo and his replacement Sergio Marchionne have been at loggerheads over the direction of the brand, with Montezemolo keen to keep Ferrari autonomous from parent company FIAT Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) while Marchionne plans to bring it closer. At every opportunity, Montezemolo has been keen to point to his history of success at Ferrari - he has been hands-on since the 1970s and turned losses into profits when he became chairman in the early 1990s - but with FCA's flotation on the New York Stock Exchange he no longer fits the bill. Whether the new guard of Marchionne and Marco Mattiacci will do a better job in F1 remains to be seen, but for better or worse Ferrari will never be the same again.

Great international trade with PowerPlant. Thanks Matija.
