Inspired by 'Peter's ongoing builds' thread, I decided to do something similar with my Ferrari projects and thus combine them in one continuous thread. Most of my projects exist only in my head for now (...) but some have actually materialized into running projects and even finished cars! This thread will be a combination of real scratch builds and upgrades of existing cars (adding detail, improving running gear, etc). But only Ferrari's! Forza!
Let's start with an actual finished project:
Ferrari 312 B2, 1972
This is a golden oldie I did many years ago but it's still one of my favorite cars as it goes really well and it just looks awesome when going around the track. It is a modified Scalextric that many of you will probably own or know. The most important alteration that really brought the car to live was lowering the nose. The car has a much better stance now. Also the mirrors did a lot for the overall look, even if they are a bit too bulky. Added suspension detail, repositioning the rear wings and a livery based on the Jacky Ickx/Monaco 1972 race have also done wonders to the nice but fairly basic original Scalextric. It is by far not perfect but it is very pretty.
