Completed: Ferrari 330P4 & Ferrari 330P3/4

[nniemi]

Well, I see that there are couple of Fujimi 330P4's already so i'll add two of them. First one is Fujimi 330P4 built with Acustion PE set and Renaissance decals, Car #19 from 1967 Le Mans:





Second car is Fujimi 330P4 built with CMA transkit for Ferrari 330P3/4 #20 from Le Mans 1967. Decals are also from renaissance and some additional details from Acustion PE set:





And a small teaser from my next project.....

Man, I was more that impressed with the first two models, but then nearly jumped out of my skin when I saw the teaser! Awesome!

But really: you're still doing what I just dream form my Fuji stuff: what're you still using as engine? A 250 series V12 colombo's stuff?

And looking back, amazing finishing on your 330, supershining.

And about colors? Whant next? Nothing about Piper mint stuff?

Really good builds! A pleasure to see them.

A super detailed Fujimi P4 is high on my project list too, using the Union kit as a doner for the engine, chassis and suspension which Union have reproduced quite well. The body will be the standard Fujimi one though - which is 100x more accurate than the Union's. (I'd love to get the MG Model version but $$$)

I am really glad to see some one kit-bashing the Fujimi kit. Cannot wait to see the progress... The level of detail etc, etc, So many questions....

Are you planning to strengthen the Fujimi's rear subframe at all? I think it could be a weak point on the model.

Would you be the person outbidding me (repeatidly) for the P4 kits on Ebay

Good luck with the build! Anticipating the updates...

Engine is from Union 330P4 kit, with scratchbuilt/modified cam covers and gearbox modified with Fujimi kit parts.

Piper's Mint coloured "P4" is actually a reproduction done from original drawings and parts. So no mint P4 for me. Third car will be *surprise!* #21 from Le Mans 1967, the best finishing 330P4 in LM.

It is quite weak during the building process, but when completed the subframe will be glued to the firewall, so there is really no problem with that.

I actually have used only engine parts from Union kit, most other parts need to be scratchbuilt and kitbashed from various other kits

No i'm not. I had three original issue Fujimi 330P4 kits. All but one were started by someone else, so i got them really cheap. (one hood and tires from Fujimi Daytona kit+15 euros for all three
)

And thanks for kind comments,
Niko

It is long out of production. I bought mine from ebay, and i think that it is the only possible source.

Yes, teaser is Fujimi+Union+Evergreen

Hi ,
i am trying to scratch build the rear of the 330p4 spyder since the transkit from CMA is no longer available. Could you mail me Pics of yours? and maybe any reference pics you might have ?
Thanks,
Fola
