Front brake ventilations are scratchbuild and painted.

I hope for a Ferrari 312 P, that would match to the 2 announced versions (open and closed).

Small update of the B3.

Front suspension is complete now. I modified the Tamiya 312 T uprights a little bit.

Scratchbuiling is an affair of try and error and revision. So I had two or three attempts building some parts for this car. This is for the front bulkhead too. I realized that the front bulkhead and the triangular suspension supports are not in one piece. Hence I cut the triangular support, made a n...
