F1 Ferrari 312B

Model, text and photos
by Giovanni La Rosa

This model is based on the Tamiya kit, with extensive modifications.

The rear wing received several modifications. First, in the middle is an added elbow that was used to empty the total amount of fuel creating a depression inside the fuel tank.

Marelli Dinoplex with rear oil radiators.

Right side engine. The fuel iniectors are scratchbuilt, and the fuel pipes are made from the nylon wire that is used on the labels for items of clothing. The gold fuel pump is completed with black pipe(with scripts) and fittings.

Oil recover tank. Situated behind the roll-bar, this tank is completed with fittings and pipes that the kit had omitted.

Left side engine. Here is visible, at extreme photo left side, an element of the Lucas Injection System that is scrachbuilt (not included in kit).
