1/24 Ferrari 275 GTB/C 1967 Le Mans - update

[Gramps46]

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.

Stellar. Love that particular car. Did ok for a 28yo Colombo 2-cam. 
Both you and Snake pretty quiet recently. Nice comeback. ???

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.

The wheels are resin copies of the 3 piece wheels in the Monogram Mercedes 196 F1 I believe.

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!

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.

Gary I can’t believe a Bburago looks that good. Nice update too.

I Have a 1/18th 62 Ferrari GTO.Also got that pretty cheap at a car show/swap meet..It’s a little rough.Then a couple of F40s,and a 1/38th scale 250 GTO.Really like your Ferrari.Very nice details.

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.

Thanks Gramps.

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!!!

If only I knew someone was building Filipinetti stuff ?????

Another beauty from your stable, Gary! Very nice. I've got one in route from the UK right now.
