Ferrari 275P '64 LeMans winning car

[Jim Gibbons]

I built this a number of years ago, and had given it to my brother as a gift. It only took him ten years to finally send me some decent pictures! He forgot to mail the disk, but emailed me a few pics, so I will have more with some interior shots. This is the Starter 1/43 resin kit. I replaced the molded in resin exhaust pipes with aluminum tubing, and added some photoetched rear deck latches to the interior tub, plus aftermarket instrument decals. This is my favorite sports racer from the '60s. I really need to find one of the Monogram SSP 1/24 kits of this. That kit was the very first model I built solo.

Gotta love the 1/43rds...

Wow, beautiful! Very nicely done, even more so considering the scale.

I recently built the Monogram kit and it looks remarkably good for a converted slot car body. You can find the kit here: My link ...Seems they've gotten a little pricey, but I doubt a reissue is in the cards anytime soon...
