A 1:8 scale kit of the classic Ferrari sports
racer, by the same maker that brought us the Ferrari
126 C2 F1 kit.
Materials used (many authentic to the real car)
include:
-
tubular brass chassis with prefabricated mounts for
suspension, engine, etc.
-
chassis panels formed from photo-etched metal
-
hand laminated fiberglass body
-
engine, differential, and gearbox cast in aluminium
-
other parts cast in brass and beryllium-copper
-
rubber gaskets and tires
-
machined, brass plated wheels simulate the originals
-
hundreds of photo-etched parts in nickel-silver,
bronze, brass, stainless steel
-
real screws and bolts
-
seat lining in cloth with scale-correct pattern
-
many other small parts cast in white metal
-
shock absorbers, instruments turned in brass and
aluminium
|
Assembly is primarily with nuts, bolts, and
screws. 18 pounds of parts, over 2100 individual pieces.
The clear and logical instruction manual includes
color photos for each step, and all parts are bagged in small groups corresponding
to each step in the assembly. I also include the full manual on CD in PDF
format which allows closer examination and enlargement of construction
photos if desired. This ultimate 1:8 scale Ferrari kit is fanatically detailed
and not for the novice modeller. Price would be comparable to the Ferrari
126 C2 F1 kit.
