Chris Smith Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 (edited) Since it’s going to be a New Year. It’s time for a new build 😊 I am going to attempt to build the Ferrari 333SP from Model Factory Hiro in 1/12. Mr. Paul Cadwell (aka.. 2 Wheel) will be joining me in this adventure with a friend build, hopefully I can coax him into finishing this before he finds something new and shiny 🤣 Hopefully you’ll enjoy this journey with me, and I thank all of you for your support.

Chris Smith Posted January 10, 2023 Author Share Posted January 10, 2023 So those of us living on the left coast have been spoiled by our weather, but also have been plagued by drought and forest fires for the last 3-4 years. Now we are getting hammered by rain and high humidity. Not very friendly when you want to get some painting done and make some progress on your current build. But there was a window of opportunity to get some stuff done… so here it is 😁 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2whl Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Nice progress, Chris. My humidity has been high for almost two weeks now. Kinda tough to paint when you have to go into the garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Smith Posted January 16, 2023 Author Share Posted January 16, 2023 I took advantage of the the wife being busy with other stuff this weekend. I probably have about 10 hours into just the fuel injection system, a lot of wires into a small space. I took some liberty with the valley tray/intake manifold. The directions say paint it interior green. Not many photos of it. The ones I have, it looks like fiber glass or some sort of composite. Sure hope you like 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Smith Posted February 7, 2023 Author Share Posted February 7, 2023 I have spent the better part of a week building the gearbox. Lots of little bits and pieces. I did decide to use some RB Motion A N fittings. I wasn’t happy with the ones that came with the kit and these match the reference photos I have of the car.

Chris Smith Posted March 5, 2023 Author Share Posted March 5, 2023 So first off, I would like to say I am a jealous person for those of you that have a basement or room to do what we love and especially if you have a paint booth in said location. I myself don’t, I have to wait for favorable weather to go into my garage and paint. So, that being said I was able to get some painting done as well, a lot of carbon decals done. The weather in Nor Cal has been crazy to say the least… lot of rain and some snow. So hope you like my little update, I should have more to show very soon 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
