Ferrari 330 P3/4

The wheels are PE brass and machined aluminum.

The centers had to be bowed to fit into the rim. I made a plug and pressed them to dish them uniformly.

nice!

Nice to see another 1/43 in progress. Which kit is this 330 P3/4?

I'm quite into both 1/43 and your works! Stay tuned and learn!

Great to see you building again Mark. I was asking David if you fell off the the edge of Cali.

It is a Marsh kit.
I'm still here Mike. Give me a call if you'd like...

Wheels and tires are done, as is the steering wheel. It was cast with a horn button so I drilled it out to match the race car’s wheel.

Nice work Mark.

I have a few Marsh Model kits in the to do pile.

Seat is done. Real car’s upholstery is not leather but vinyl…

The body is resin (with a few PE detail parts) and needed some clean-up. The vent slots needed the most attention, and the front splitter was C shaped so I cut it out and replaced it with a stainless steel piece I made up.
Tamiya Italian Red was applied, as well as the decals…

The kit did not come with windows, not that it mattered too much, the kit was supposed to only supply sheet clear plastic. I made a template for the windshield and rear window, the side door windows were made from measurements. Like the real car (unfortunately) they mount from the outside. I made decals to clean up the edges were they mounted to the body.
They did provide vac-u-formed headlight covers…
Still more details to add, but I think it is near the final stretch of assembly.

Damn beautiful! Top notch works on the windshield! Did you vacuum formed them from the template?

I guess I should have been clearer in my description, the windows are all formed from flat sheet clear. I made a template from paper card stock for the windshield and once it fit I transferred the shape to the clear material.
The cement holds them in the curved shapes. I did not make a mold or vac-u-form them.

Great work! Your 43rd scale models look better than many 24th-25th scale models!
