Fisher 1/24 Ferrari 365P White Elephant.

[Rich Chernosky]

Another Fisher kit under my belt. This one is the Ferrari 365P White Elephant car that ran at Le Mans in 1966. Colour is Tamiya TS26 white and Testors 1111 dk blue. Extra features include seat belts, steering wheels, wing mounts, extra photo etch, mirror mounts. A lot of very fussy details went into this project and it slowed me down quite a bit but done it is. This model represents the car as it was raced. This car was run by North American Racing Team    (NART) and went through quite a few changes before it hit the track. Seat blet materila is 4mm silk ribbon cut in half, Hardware came with the kitWhite elephant on the wing support is how the car got its nick nameOne of these knock-offs had one of it ears broken when I got the kit.  Found it in the box and repaired it. It was very tiny and I was lucky to find it. Learned a new trick when I applied these bolt heads. They are almost microscopic.Original photo had a blue paint smudge above the front winglet. The camera never lies

Came out looking great Rich.  Is the shovel in the kit or did you add it?  Very appropriate to get out of the sand bank at Le Mans.

Thank you Gary, especially for the reference disc, which was an invaluable aid to finishing this kit.  Yes....the shovel did come with the kit and it looks like it was very much needed according to some of your reference pics.  If I remember correctly this was standard equipment on many cars at the time.  The drivers were not allowed outside aid.

That looks great Rich, well done.  I enjoy building Paul's kits, still have the Matra to go.

Thanks for the compliment Dave. I also have the Matra to do and the multi colour paint job looks to be a real challenge.  I'll race ya....

Looks great, I am not familiar with that "Porsche looking Ferrari"  but it a unique and sharp looking build, very nice.

Interesting subject!  Like how it came out, I know it's not just a slam bam thank you mam.  The 3 red lights on all the cars in the race?
