Ferrari 250LM 1965 Le Mans - Climax/MFH 1/24

Fifty years ago, Jochen Rindt and Masten Gregory wins Le Mans 24 hours in the wheel of a Νοrth American Racing Team's Ferrari 250 LM. This is the last overall victory of Ferrari, in legendary 24Hour race.
Early this year I decide to celebrate this anniversary, with the construction of this particular Ferrari , with #5893 for serial number and the No 21 on her doors.

For this, I use the Climax kit which repacked bye MFH. It takes me over six months and found it very difficult in many ways. Finally, I manage to finish it so I can publish it... Here you are:

Totally awesome! Amazing details and finish! Great work all arround!

Mamma che bella George.... Top model here

Thank you mates. Really, appreciate your comments!

I like all your works George! This Ferrari looks very good too. Just two things that I don't like: misty windscreen and too low ends of exhaust pipes.

Thank you my friend for your good word and your comments.

For the windscreen, I don't know why looks so foggy in some photos. Nothing similar in real model. If you see the 6th photo seems OK. Maybe, because I took the photo outdoors without any light and no sunshine :screwy: Then, because they are dark, I add brightness but this addition damage the clearance.

For the pipes you are absolutely right. Maybe If I shorten them, they look mere correct. If you notice it in during the WIP, I can solve it. Now, I didn't want to damage the model.

In, generally, as maybe you know is a very difficult model to close. For sure it isn't perfect, but I 'm happy that I manage to finish it. The next one will be better, I hope :wink:

Excellent workmanship and perfect detailing under the hood make a really outstanding model.

Thank you Jürgen!

Really incredible, stunning and gorgeous work.

You did it justice, great work! :thumbsup:

Not perfect? It looks pretty close to me! The model is stunning, gorgeous! And the engine work is just beautiful. What a stunning model!

I had the pleasure of seeing one of these for real this spring in Naples, FL. A breathtaking spectacle in person.

Very nicely done! You have captured the essence of the full size machine.

Outstanding build, and being a challenging base kit makes it even more impressive!!!

Thank you guys. Your comments is the best conclusion for this long build...

Awesome. The engine is fabulous and the master paintwork.
Well dome my Greek mate!

OMG！　Real master peace...... !!! What a incredible work! Paint, fine engine works... everything is perfect.

Awesome built!!!

Living vicariously through you! Awesome work.

Your work is so great, but your patience and your interest passing is much greater!

You made it! We are looking forward to seeing your next work.
Good luck!
