In the history of Ferrari, the biggest engine (6.9 l), is poorly documented. For the serious modelbuilding it dosn't promotes.
Today, the Body (0866) exists in the collection of Mr. Dusek (USA). However in a very different kind.
The idea was the model of the beginning of the 69 saison.
Like the other models (300 SL and 250 GTO), it is a scratch building.
In one picture you can see the difference in proportionality, between a series kit and the scratch.
I cannot understand this, so you can read the original dimensions in some books.
You can see the model in various stages of advance.. The complete model will come in a few weeks.

After some poor results, Juergen stops the assembly of the brake hoses. It seems, that there is no way, to build flexible breakhoses in correct size.
It's not so important, the hoses are assembled, when the car war prepared for race.

One of the most amazing models I have ever seen! Especially after seeing the incredible amount of work that went into it.

at the end, some 'little' problems make some trouble and heartattacks
i think, it is a real great moment in the 1/43 scene!

Good morning!
The unrecoverable assembly starts!
First the Front section an the doors.
It's real difficult, pinning the doorhinges. At the pictures, all looks big. The size of one hinge shaft is 0,47x1,45mm. Nearly invisible!
Juergen guarantees you can open the doors for all time!
Now some cables must placed in the Front section. Than starts the great adventure – the rear section. Engine and Suspension.
But what is modelmaking? The Limit will moved up and up.

Now it arrives: the biggest conceivable accident! The greatest fear.

PICTURES from the car!

Pete Lyons had made a lot of pictures made – in this year and of this car! This pictures force me for some modifications at the end of the car. Juergen started immediately. But the final assembling …………… ! :-(
That's the fate of the modelbuilder, who wants to build a perfect model.

Actually juergen assembles the rear side.
All parts come together, to examine whether everything fits and find a usefull sequence of assembling.
At this model it's more difficult. The most parts will soldered!
In this stage juergen realize, that the strut between anti-roll bar and lower wishbone was too thick. So he reduces them from 0,47 to 0,34mm! more is not possible.
One of the last challenges is the trouble between the exhausts and the shocks! He must fit the exhauasts for first – but than there is no place for the shocks and vice versa :-)
Somehow it wents!

what a beautiful piece of art! everything is very well fabricated with delecaty.

it is a wonderful "mesh" of highly detailed parts......love it!

Harm Posted - 09/07/2012 : 01:48:02
Marvelous piece of craftsmanship. I am deeply impressed. And: please don't insert a driver: it makes a model look toy like. A Denizen figure standing beside the car is great, however. But that's how I feel about it.
