Chris Smith Posted January 18, 2024 Posted January 18, 2024 Next up on the bench of mayhem. 1/12 Model Factory Hiro Ferrari 330P4 Spider. I will be trying to recreate the version that race in the Targa Florio. As from my knowledge and some reference photos this particular car did not finish the event. I hope you enjoy the journey with me ? 6
Ace-Garageguy Posted January 18, 2024 Posted January 18, 2024 Kewl. One of THE most gorgeous cars on the planet, and topless to boot. 1
1959scudetto Posted January 18, 2024 Posted January 18, 2024 One of the best-looking racecars ever... 1
Mittagskind Posted January 18, 2024 Posted January 18, 2024 (edited) The Ferrari was fastest in training. it therefore started last in the race and took the lead on the first lap, but was eliminated due to an accident on the second lap. I`ll follow this interesting build. Edited January 18, 2024 by Mittagskind 1 1

Pierre Rivard Posted January 19, 2024 Posted January 19, 2024 Look forward to this one Chris. So many beautiful Ferraris in the 50's and 60's and this one may be at the top of the list. You plan to model this before or after the crash? Just saying... you know, for a bit of challenge. ?

I plan on going for the fresh off the line look.. As if these kits aren’t enough of a challenge ?

Brudda Posted January 22, 2024 Posted January 22, 2024 Great to see you at the NNL West Chris. Ahhh the beautiful Ferrari p4. Can’t wait to see it, The only thing I can tell you on this kit is the frame moves around as you add things to it. I waited to paint it as things were moving around and the body would not line up. This kit really tested my patience. I know it will turn out great.
Brudda Posted January 22, 2024 Posted January 22, 2024 I have built one but I am wanting to build this car. Ferrari p3 that Dino Martin. Dean Martins son. Had built for his street car. Fly yellow spider conversion. 1 1
Chris Smith Posted January 26, 2024 Author Posted January 26, 2024 Started on the main chassis tub. Lots of fitment issues. I probably had to massage each piece to get it to where it is now. I have now to put some more tubing for bracing and then once it’s all done, I’ll get to cover it all up…?
Codi Posted January 28, 2024 Posted January 28, 2024 Hi Chris, I can't wait to see this build. Like so many, I believe this is one of the best looking race cars ever made. I know you'll do her justice. Cheers, tim 1
