Ferrari 330 P4 #23 Daytona 1967 (Bburago metal kit, 1/24 scale)

[Tommy124]

Hi there,

I saw one of these modern Bburago metal kits on a German forum some weeks ago. These kits did exist before, but back then they weren't up to today's standards. I find kits of this kind particularly interesting especially for cars that aren't available as regular plastic kits. The (open-top) Ferrari 300 P4 shown here is one such example, but so are the also available Ferrari 488 Challenge or the Le Mans-winning Ferrari 499P. 

For around €25-30, you can get kits with a properly pre-painted body and around 30 parts.

Let's face it, these are the same parts used in Bburago's finished models. They're just putting something together here to appeal to people like me – who don't put anything in their display case that wasn't at least partially "built" by themselves.

But it's also fun to do these as a quick alternative in between more difficult builds.

You need to apply the decals. I sealed them with Pledge for protection. Futhermore I added some painting for interior detail, other than that this is OOB.

 

This is what's inside the box:

Very nice Ferrari 330 P4, I've been thinking about getting their Ferrari 499P  but at the same time wishing Tamiya would do one.

I don't suppose Tamiya has a license to do Ferrari kits currently. There are resin kits for the 499P, but it will perfectly do for me to build the Bburago one. 

If you want to see one built by a German fellow modeller, here's the link:

That 499 turned out very nice with a little work.
