Phildaupho Posted January 26 Posted January 26 I finished this morning for the Facebook 24 Hour Challenge after working on it for a total of about nine hours. It is the 1/24 Monogram Ferrari 275P. The curbside kit was first issued in 1964 after a 275P won the Sebring 12hr and the Le Mans 24hr. It could be built either as a slot-car or a display model. It's pretty impressive for a model from 60 years ago!! ALTERATIONS & ADDITIONS Re-scribed all panel lines and opened up hood vents and brake ducts Modified interior side panels to be more like real car. Dash drilled for gauge decals mounted from behind Used aluminum tube for exhaust tips Dull coated and dark washed wheels Dark washed rear louvers Tamiya Italian Red with clear coat 10

Not only am I very pleased with how it turned out and I also am extremely impressed with the fidelity of the kit itself as simple as it is especially the fact that it was released so soon after its victorious 1964 campaign. The instructions actually state - " We would like to acknowledge the assistance of Luigi Chinetti in helping us to produce this winner as an exact scale model." Chinetti was the USA Ferrari importer/promoter and a three time winner of Le Mans including the 64 race in this car. This is a fuzzy photo I just took with my old iphone as I wrote this reply.
