Ferrari 330P with Historic Racing Miniature engine

[dougwintz]

Here is work in progress on the Fujima 330P Ferrari, with Historic Racing Miniatures engine. Most challenging part was deciphering the instructions for the engine - but it is a great addition to the kit.

Here is the finished product.

Absolutely beautiful build, nice work on the engine. Couldn't agree more about the instructions. I have a number of these engine kits from various vehicles. Although they are absolutly incredable resin castings the instruction are some of the most convoluted I have ever tried to decipher.

Great build, my absolute favorite race car! Nice job on the HRM engine, have to agree with Rider that instructions for these resin engine aren’t the best, but they sure do look amazing

The mighty P4. One of my favorite racing Ferraris. Unforgettable shape!

Looks good,  definitely need some lowering in the back.

Great job!

In my opinion,  the most beautiful Ferrari of all time!  I want to build a yellow P3 some day.

Thanks,

Maybe Brad is trying to copy the typical Japanese instructions.

Hey Rider. Yes. Between trying to find reference photos and just staring into space trying to figure it out, it did take me a long time to decipher the instructions. For instance (as someone pointed out) I couldn't find a definitive picture showing the direction of the trumpets. Then in the HRM kit, there were all these tiny pieces that I couldn't figure out what to do with. But in a way, I guess HRM thought "hey, we figured it out - now you do the same and good luck!". I'm fine with that. I really admire the guy who did the castings the provided that engine kit. I also have a couple more HRM kits including the Porsche 917 engines. 

Veering off topic, I did a model of a Lancia Stratos and transplanted a Dino engine from a Fujima kit. I don't suppose anyone knows of another source for those Dino engines - I have some other Stratos and hate building curbsides.

Saw this in the I'm Finished Yay section.  Nice job!

If I ever get around to doing mine, will take lots of pictures and perhaps do a tutorial on this HRM engine kit.

For those of you who only know HRM and Harold Bradford from his great resin products, here is a picture of him today with his lovely wife at todays MAMA 30th anniversary meeting.  Photo courtesy Lyle Willits.

Harold is such a nice guy. I spoke to him years ago when I first found his awesome products, called him up just to say thanks for making such fantastic stuff. He was super friendly. 

 

 

Here's some engine ref pics of the trumpets.
