Fujimi Ferrari 330 P4 1/24Lee Yoder 12-22-2011, 08:51 AM Good Morning all, I opened my new Fujimi kit last night to see the condition of the parts and to do a cursory inspection of the instructions. To my surprise (and a little disappointment), I discovered that this kit is meant as a curbside model. The only engine parts are some exhaust sections mounted to a bar and the gearbox. I have been doing alot of research on the 1:1 car in the hopes of doing a decent representation in scale, which meant opening the engine cover. Since the kit has no engine, can anyone point me to a source for a Ferrari V-12 engine in 1/24 scale? Many thanks in advance and I wish everyone a safe and Merry Christmas!

Look over StradaSports HRM and Renaissance 1/24 tabs and you will not be disappointed any more - John P.S. the other option is to get the "Union" Ferrari 330 P4 kit - it has engine-gearbox-exhaust etc in the kit - John BVC500 12-22-2011, 11:33 AM Before you buy, you can check out the kit contents and instructions on Hobby Search's website. ffreak 12-22-2011, 02:40 PM As mentioned earlier, the HRM kit is an excellent source for this. I have that engine kit myself and recommend it highly !!

Doc, what references are you planning to use in the construction of the tube chassis?
