Ferrari 312/66
Description
The Ferrari 312/66 was my first attempt at building a cigar-shaped Formula One car from the 1960s.
The kit was produced by Tameo Kits, and although it is based on a proportional model, I completed it as a full-detail build, including the engine and many of the internal components. Beneath the simple and elegant bodywork lies a surprisingly complex mechanical structure, and I focused on recreating as much of that detail as possible.
The Ferrari 312 series competed in Formula One from 1966 to 1969, with the 312/66 marking Ferrari’s entry into the new 3-litre Formula One era. Its beautiful body lines and powerful V12 engine continue to make it one of the most iconic Ferraris of the period.
After publication, this model received more attention than many of my previous works. It reminded me just how popular and admired the Ferrari 312 remains among motorsport and Ferrari enthusiasts around the world.
