Finished: 1959 Ferrari 250 TR59 LeMans 1959 #12 Gurney/Behra

[360spider]

Finished this one not too long ago. Factory 3 liter V12 TR s/n 0774TR driven by Dan Gurney and Jean Behra. Did not finish the race. Built from Renaissance kit, mostly OOB, with few very small detail additions. "Small" 1/43 scale.

Nice work Alex! I especially like the clear hood scoop.

No matter the scale or the model, what matters is who and how it works and you're good.

GREAT WORK.

Alex, thanks!
It's like my eyes are having a wonderful time on a wonderful place.
So congenial to look at, balanced, very clear and sharp detailling and coeval soft in general. Your work is staggering to look at and i'm glad to have the chance to have a (digital) look at!
Great Great Work, absolutely amazing.

Yours
Jochen

Beautiful work, truly spectacular!

If not for the slightly "fat" steering wheel, it could be 1/24.

Congratulations!!!!!

Yeah, the wheel is a bit chunky, but you can only really see it on the macro pictures.

Thank you all!

Simply fabulous, wish I could build Ferraris like you!

Thanks all for your compliments, I appreciate it!
I have couple more 43rd scale project that will be completed very soon. These small scale builds are whole different ball game and require completely different set of skills, which helps me to learn new ways of building models and helps to improve and develop my building techniques.

The entire time I was oogleing at your Ferrari, I was convinced it was a 1/24, I'm in shock it's a 1/43! I connot believe how you guys can pack such detail in such a small car. My eye sight isin't good enough for that! Great job!

Very nice build. I just finished his Ferrari/Lancia D50 Monaco. I like his
kits alot as he adds small little details to his kits.

I have gotten back into 1/43 building. I am working on a very detailed Ferrari P3 based on one of the old Provence kits.

Huge ditto. I also thought it was 1/24 before I read the text.

This model is in my personal top ten for subject, tastefulness and sheer craftsmanship. Wow!

I'll bet it's been an eye-opener for anybody who thought a 1/43 model couldn't include enough detail. I can't wait to see the P3.
