Ferrari 312PB, 1973


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I would like to share with you the build of the nice MFH kit of the Ferrari 312PB Sprint Version.

Few paint job is already done.

Paint is from Zero Paint and clear coat is also ZP 2K. I used Ferrari Red, Pure White, Giallo Modena and semi gloss black.

Metallic paints are mainly from Alclad.

The kit will be almost built OOB. I will just turn few small parts and add small details.

Hi,

More pics of the work done on the Ferrari...

2nd part of the seat is now covered with ferrari fabric.

A light correction has to be done on the upper corner of the seat to put the fabric in the right direction.

Seat will be covered of flat acrylic varnish.

Fire extinguisher cleared with Alclad light sheen.

Light work on radiators. Still need to work a bit on it...

Few pics:

Well, as nothing was dry, I decided to work on the opposite side of the Ferrari :

The gearbox cooler!

I modified the MFH fittings by cutting the radiator pins and making a 0.75 hole to fit the tube I wanted to use.

Then, thanks to the pictures I have, I modified the end of the gearbox and install modified machined/anodized A/N fittings from RBMotion.

Hi,

Small progress again for today, but needed!

Few touch up paint job before the 2K.

Some Rosso Corsa ZP, cellulose thinner, small nozzle and go ... but not without masking!

...Mask on:

dsc02930.jpg

dsc02932.jpg

Yellow on yellow :

dsc02934.jpg

dsc02936.jpg

Touch up done :

dsc02940.jpg

Mask off :

dsc02942.jpg

... And finally, a picture less rotten than others to the rear of the car.

The lights are just laid for the purposes of the photo, which explains the misalignment and lack of electrical wiring:

dsc02944.jpg

As usual, do not hesitate if you have questions and / or comments.

I will try to answer my best!

Pascal,

What a truly impressive build. I've looked at a few Multi media kits, but I just don't have the needed skills to build one. Looking forward to your next update,.
