This model has a better paint job than my actual car.

[@375GTB]

Ferrari race cars were often painted with mops, brooms, and roller brushes Last minute before going to the docks, back in the day.. You needed to see them in the pits, up close, at Daytona and Sebring.... NOT at the auto shows and later races back in Yurp! J.C.

my favorite line in Ford vs Ferrari is when Ken Miles first sees the 330P3 and says "If this was a beauty contest, we just lost!"

[@bandrail]

CONGRATULATIONS FOR THIS BEAUTIFULL MODEL! Many years ago, it was 25 April 1967, I saw the Ferrari 330 P4 race an win the 1000 Km of Monza, driven by Bandini - Amon, with Scarfiotti Parkes on second place. After the victory, as usual a I nvaded the pit lane and I reached the car, smelling the hot engine parfume of oil, burned tire, and smashed mosquitos in the front of the car. The sound of the 12 cilinder, deep, loud and furious is something the I never forgot. Thank you for this beautifull reproduction of the best racing car ever!

[@omarsayed9155]

There's only one word I can think of that describes this video: humbling.

[@duckman5642]

Amazing! I went straight to the end to look at the finished model, and compared it to the photograph I took at the LeMans race (I had a photographer's pass for trackside access). It is incredibly accurate, and only after going back to watch the whole video, did I realise what a massive amount of work you did to match the car in the kit to the real-world full-size car. Thank you!

[@alexanderrepollo1024]

[@straightshooter8443]

Man, these people should be paying you, very well I might add, to assemble their models and shoot pictures of them. You could do the same thing! Video, just like you do now. And have it run in their sales office. That way after people take tours of their plant and go into look at the models and buy them. They can watch you doing your thing. That paint job has got to be the best I’ve ever seen on a models. Kudos to you my man. Way to go!!!!!

[@billbatross6856]

I use to love building super accurate detailed scale models! But anymore, heading into my late fifties, my hands shake too much to install the small detailed pieces! So, I relocate to building larger scale models! Which, I have always loved building anyways! It's funny how time has flown for me! I remember starting to build models when I was 12, with my sister, who is a year older then me. Now, in my mid-fifties and I'm still building models! Drives my wife crazy! But, she likes that I have a hobby to keep myself busy!

Exceptional!!! One of my all time favorite race cars and the finish on this - wow. I know I'm a layman, in regards to this - but still - wow!

Absolute masterpiece, the finish is amazing. Very neatly filmed too, especially the final presentation. You say "not perfect", what on earth could you do to improve on this build? These bolts/rivets are SO small, I would struggle to get them off the tree, let alone get them onto the car. A wonderful build and a pleasure to watch. All the Best from Scotland, Dougie.

[@vgbondarev]

Nice touch on levelling the decals. People don't realize that in this era of racing that the numbers were painted on, often on the weekend of the race with a brush you would paint a house with!

[@BrianWCarlson]

Nice build - this Ferrari is my favorite car of all time. A little FYI, in the video there is commentary that the 330 P4 and 412P are different cars, this is not quite correct. Given they were hand built race cars every chassis varied slightly and cars had multiple body panels as they were crashed and rebuilt. Mirror configuration changes were made car to car and panel to panel. The 330 P4 and 412P were exactly the same chassis, however, the 412P were sold by Ferrari factory to private teams and ran with carburetors. The P4 ran with mechanical fuel injection by the Ferrari factory team since it was new technology and faster. Mr Ferrari, ever image conscious, held back the fuel injection so the Ferrari factory had an edge (read faster cars) than the private teams he sold his cars to!

[@BOABModels]

I've recently bought this kit and your video is not only a great display of your brilliant modelling talent, but also brilliant reference and research for the car in question. Many thanks, David. Great video.

You better not put that on a wooden shelf. The sun's rays will hit it and start a fire! Wow...so nice.... Thank you for the video, and such a perfect project. Classic Ferrari's are a work of art. You certainly do them justice.

[@robertaugust7425]

I find it amazing that as smooth and as rounded, and as beautiful as these cars were, they were like driving bricks around the course compared to what we know about aerodynamics today. I'm a little sad that we know it and have had to change them.

[@robertaugust7425]

Oh...and definitely subscribed...👍

[@MFKR696]

A handy tip for polishing is to pre-load the polishing tool with compound before using it. Otherwise, you're essentially just sucking the compound off the surface with that dry cotton ball, which means you'll generally end up using way more compound than you really have to. Use one ball for each compound as well. It's going to pick up compound regardless, and you can't wash that stuff out, so you might as well just have a set of polishing consumables for each grit, especially considering that you do this for a living as far as I can tell. My father was a body-man (collision repair) at a GM dealership for almost 50 years, building hot-rods on the side until it became unprofitable, and he taught me quite a few things. There wasn't a thing going on in that shop that he didn't know every detail about, including PnP (paint and polish). Any time he'd see me painting or sanding/polishing my models as a kid, he'd always show me what I was doing wrong. One of the things he taught me is that you use separate tools for each compound, and you load each up with the compound it's intended for. This also quickens the polishing process, in that you don't have to bother with the futile process of washing compound off, and when you're at the next step, you can just clean the part, throw the next wheel/swab in, put some fresh compound on it and get after it.

[@valkyrie013]

Very nice! For the decals over complex detals, Please try a hot wet rag, and push it on the decal over the detail. Just take a rag, wet it, ( not soaking wet, wring it out to "Moist") throw it in the microwave for 15-20 seconds, it will be hot, be careful, just apply the decal as usuall, normal setting solution, and just use the hot rag on it after positioning it. Be careful because once you heat it and push it on.. its on. :)
