Giovanni La Rosa Posted April 28, 2022 Posted April 28, 2022 Hi everyone, Attached, photos of my Ferrari 312 P model, Brands Hatch 6 Hours version from 1969. In my opinion, the 312 P is the most beautiful and elegant Sport Prototype car of all time. I have also included a card that summarizes the most important changes and additions made during the assembly. Greetings, Giovanni La Rosa FERRARI 312 P Brands Hatch 6 Hours 1969 Base kit : FISHER (U.S.A.) BODY PAINTING : Tamiya TS 8 Italian Red (can decanted and sprayed with airbrush) FRAME : Alclad II Chrome INTERIOR COCKPIT : Tamiya TS 30 Silver Leaf RIMS : Testor’s Gold TIRES : Humbrol 85 Coal Black + Microscale Satin RIVET used : Adlers Nest and Scale Hardware FRONT HEADLIGHTS Completely rebuilt with Sakatsu chrome parables and Modeler’s lenses. The screws on the plexiglass shell are taken from a set of F1 Specialties photoetched. REAR LIGHTS Supplied in the kit in printed resin, they have been replaced with red and orange lights of Tron Accessories. EXHAUST Also these, supplied in the resin kit, have been replaced with brass tubes and painted in Tamiya Matt White. ROLL BAR Rebuilt with brass rod , replaces the resin in the kit. SEAT BELTS Made with fabric of the american company Model car Garage and completed with photoetched set of the Fisher same, sold separately, wich also includes the wings (placed on the front nose) and the spoiler (placed on the rear hood), necessary for the realization of the 6 Hours version of Brands Hatch # 60 from 1969.The Fisher set include also the rear hood closing handles and other details. RIMS Painted with Testor’s Gold , they were completed with the balancing weights , made with nichel plated rod and strips of Bare Metal Foil and the inflation valves of the Sakatsu TIRES Also supplied in resin, they were painted with Humbrol Coal Black 85 and completed with golden wheels and Firestone writings by Fred Cady decals; all sealed with a hand of trasparent Microscale Satin. BODY Painted with the Tamiya TS 8 Italian Red decanted and sprayed with airbrush , it was finished with the Tamiya TS 13 Clear , also decanted and sprayed, followed by polishing with Micro Mesh abrasive papers. Many missing decals have been added on the sheet supplied by the kit and placed above the Clear. AIRSCOPE It was excavated to give depth to the air entry hole. FUEL FILLER CAPS AND VIEW MIRROR Painted with Alclad II Chrome and the mirror was made with DC Fix “Mirror” film. NOTE The Fisher kits are very essential, but they have a correctness of exceptional lines that, together with the integration of the missing details, perfectly makes the idea of the real car. 3 1

Gramps46 Posted April 28, 2022 Posted April 28, 2022 Excellent build and added details. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Rich Chernosky Posted April 28, 2022 Posted April 28, 2022 Having done this kit myself I can say you really knocked this one out of the park. Very well done Giovanni.
Giovanni La Rosa Posted April 28, 2022 Author Posted April 28, 2022 Hi, I am very happy that you like my Ferrari 312 P. Thank you very much everyone. Ciao, Giovanni La Rosa
1959scudetto Posted April 28, 2022 Posted April 28, 2022 Excellent model of this beautiful spyder, Giovanni ! You raised the bar very high with this one. I built the same car over 30 yrs. ago and used only the Fisher kit + a few missing decals - it didn't look bad but yours is just perfect with all these detailing.
Giovanni La Rosa Posted April 29, 2022 Author Posted April 29, 2022 Hi Helmut, I thank you for the compliments that, made by someone like you who knows about racing cars and modeling, make me even more happy. Thanks again , Giovanni La Rosa
absmiami Posted April 29, 2022 Posted April 29, 2022 GIO - Paul would love to see this build - by a modeler from Italy - as you may know - his “factory” went up in smoke in the great “Paridise Ca fire of 2018 (?) - so its a treat to see one of his kits built WELL - send some of these shots to his email on his site … and thanks for the post …

Yeah, I heard what happened to Paul Fisher and I'm very sorry. I still have, to build, several kits of him and also many of those of UMi (M. Quatermann) which, since it is said, many bear the signature of Paul. Thank you again, Ciao, Giovanni La Rosa

sflam123 Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 Absolutely stunning build! Great attention to detail and great added detail. You should be very proud of your work. Thank you for posting!!
Pierre Rivard Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 Giovanni, è bellissima, è assolutamente stupenda. I don't have these kinds of skills so when I see such a beautifully detailed and finished replica like your's I can only admire and maybe learn a little from you. Thank you for the detailed explanations. This is art at the highest level. Magnifique, félicitations!
absmiami Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 Done with the Becassa app on my I phone - hope you like …
