Received my copy today.  Now I see why you made the hood.  ?

 

At least your copy of the kit has the wheels and glass parts. Mine didn't come with either. Its...not the best kit even by garage-resin standards.

Alex, all I can say is WOW! ?

VERY ambitious project you've taken on and I'll have to echo some of your sentiments about the quality of the kit. It wasn't this one I have, but another one I got a while back that was let's say..........less than stellar.

Keep up the great work! I'm sure it'll be a sure fire knockout when done and it's yet another Ferrari model that's been very overlooked over the years.

Hey Bill, ambitious is the right word, and I feel like my ambitions are biting me in the a$$ right now, as I don't have time and slowly loosing steam on this. Hopefully I will persevere.  Thanks!

Ok, all these posts above made me get this out of the box and fiddle with it a bit over the weekend - that s until we lost power and almost froze to death here in Texas. Aaaaanyway...

Got most of the interior parts to fit together, more or less:

Not only that - but also worked a bit on making everything fit nicely inside the body as well:

Everything lines up nicely now, which is good. Still need to adjust the chassis relative to the body a bit - my axles are not entirely centered in the arches.

Looks like a when #e77 freezes over moment!  Glad to see you on this again.  I noticed there are louvers for the hood, which seem to be optional, you have any idea what that is about?

Great to see you back on this. Interior fit doesn’t look too bad.

The openings are for the "hotter" engine that was installed into 365 GTC. 330 GTC still had old Colombo-designed double-cam design, and as such - no louvers to "cool" it.

Yup, that's about 3 hours of making it fit

Thanks!
