Ferrari 330TRI

This is my latest finished project. Model represents the last front engined Le Mans winner, Ferrari 330 TRI from 1962.

Built mostly out of the box from an old and quite rare 1/24 Q-Model kit. Only added parts are tires and side grilles behind front wheelarches were substituted with real mesh. The kit was a real joy to build, specially when considering its age. I'll let the pics tell the rest of it.

WOW! Even awesome, fabulous, and immaculate do not describe your work. Did you take any pics of the original box?

Superb job, Niko

That's a beautiful car and you have done it great justice.
(also 1962 is a great vintage anyway LOL)

I was actually surprised how "cheap" this was, your battle was quite weak

Thanks for your feedback,

Niko
