Ferrari 312T

I just picked up this at a sale a week ago for $65 US. The re-issues are nice because they have new shiny and very white decals compared to the originals. Anybody here ever built this, any gripes,problems or complaints about it. It looks like a great kit of a classic F1 Ferrari. I am looking forward to building it.

Hi. I also have a Tamiya 1:12 scale Formula One car. It's not a Ferrari 312, but a Tyrell P34 Six-Wheeler F1 car. Actually, I have 2 of them. One is the original issue I got from a friend but has some parts missing already. The other one is a re-issue which I bought brand new around 2 years ago. I haven't attempted to start this project as reading the manual alone intimidates me. The details are so stupendous that it will take a very long time to complete. Although I plan to start it sometime this year. If you're interested, I can send you some pics of the kit. BTW, congratulations on the beautiful kit that you got. Damn, I wish I had one of those too. Good luck on that project! :sun:

I look forward to seeing you build it!

Was this a recent reissue? Nice find :)

I think it's in stock on HS ;)

And I am ooking forward to seing you build it!!

Yep, I built it when it originally came out years ago.:D
Wish I had Cyano glue back then!!

No real gripes, a JOY to build. The only real advice I can give is just make sure the FI lines and Ingition wires aren't too high, as the engine/cockpit cover fit is very tight.

Mine is in the showcase of my old Honda dealer back in Vermont.
I traded it for 2 years of free oil changes. :D

Looking forward to your build.

I found that the top cover cannot cover the the whole body, still can't figure out how.:(
