Academy Ferrari 250LM

[Dave B]

Back in the mid 60's I was lucky enough to see Scuderia Veloce's 250LM (chassis #6321) race at Longford, Tasmania. This is the 250LM now owned by Ralph Lauren (http://www.ralphlaurencarcollection.com/). When I was given an old Academy kit, in need of restoration, there was only one I wanted to build.

Tks for looking

Nice save of a cool kit

That is a super sharp little racin' Ferrari! Nice save on that one.

Great work on this pretty basic "Korean" Academy kit....(got one a few years back..tought was too "toy" looking!)

Wire wheels are really sharp.

Very, very nice work.

Nice!!

Rarely see this kit built...

Nice job now why haven't I ever bought or built one? And I passed up one for $10 recently (it was started but very workable)

That looks brilliant. I didn't really care much for the 250LM until last week, when we found a Corgi Die-cast in the local charity shop for £2.99. Now I _really_ need one of those kits! Especially if it can be made to look like that! The wheels, particularly, look WAAAAY better than I expected...

bestest,

Very nice! This is my favorite era of Ferrari sports racers. I wish I could be Ralph Lauren just for a week to play with the cars.

Looks Great.

Love that...I was late in loosening up my American muscle car chauvinism, but now any 50's-60's Ferrari really gets me going. Sure wish there were more affordable subjects in this vein.

...Not to mention the models...

Tks guys, like others I opted not to buy one when they were released/re-released. Given the opportunity I will next time as a 'new one' would give me the chance to improve a few things (i.e. It wouldn't have broken rims on the wheels for starters!!)

Tks again
