Built in 1988 from the Union reissue of Heller's old Ferrari P 4. I wanted to build it in different colors than the works cars: in 1967, Ferrari customers could buy "updated P3" racers which had the engine specification of the 1966 car, but the new body mods of the 1967 330 P 4 - these hybrids were called 412 P, looked like the P4 and were used by Luigi Chinetti's N.A.R.T., Maranello Concessionaires (UK), Ecurie Francorchamps (Belgium), Scuderia Filipinetti (Switzerland) and Englishman David Piper. So I choose to build a David Piper version in its typical BP green (reference was a 1/43 diecast by Brumm) and the '67 Le Mans participant from Filipinetti (reference was 2 pictures in Antoine Prunet's Ferrari sports prototypes book) - Jean Guichet/Herbert Müller DNF this race. Decals are partially from the spares, partially drawn by hand or made from rub-on letters. First a photo of the kit box: Finally some mid Sixties racers : 3 from Heller, 1 from Academy/Minicraft: Don't be too hard with Heller - they offer some kits that you won't get anywhere else (OK, the P4 is an exception)
