Gramps46 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 (edited) In 1967 a Ferrari entered by Scuderia Filipinetti won the GT class at Le Mans while Ford won overall. This alloy bodied 275 GTB/C 09079 Ferrari was the last competition prepared Ferrari to run on wire wheels. This is an older Italian made BBurago model which has replacement resin cast wheels and a few competition features added and decals from the parts box. Oops - I left off the colored signal lights on the right hand side.

keyser Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Stellar. Love that particular car. Did ok for a 28yo Colombo 2-cam. Both you and Snake pretty quiet recently. Nice comeback. 👍🏼😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caapa Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Great looking car in the race livery. The wheels are superb. Are they full resin or wired with metal wire ? As street car it isn`t attractiv so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the reference link above is a full side on photo which I think I can copy the number circles and print onto decal film for more accurate numbers. I also found that by slicing the vinyl headlamp comers longitudinally and put them back on they lie down a lot better. I will add the number lights and the side marker lights in the next upday.

Very nice, Gary - the wheels make a big difference! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gramps46 Posted July 11, 2022 Author Share Posted July 11, 2022 I updated the number decals to be more accurate and I added the signal lights on the right side. I also added correct Ferodo decals copied from the Fujimi P4 kit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gramps46 Posted July 26, 2022 Author Share Posted July 26, 2022 Great score on the Ferraris Ron. You can find all sorts of decals for them on eBay with a vendor in Spain called Le Mans Decals and a choice of scales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gramps46 Posted August 16, 2022 Author Share Posted August 16, 2022 There is a new listing on eBay for a Fred Cady #106 decal sheet which has the correct markings for this Ferrari plus extra Scuderia Filipinetti scripts of various sizes. Yeah!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
