I'm glad to announce yet another triple WIP - Steven, Gio, and myself decided to build the same kit and by doing this push ourselves to the extremes of modelmaking (yeah, ok) title= We decided to build Ferrari 166MM Barchetta - the first Ferrari to gain international racing success, first one to win 24 hours of Le Mans, and one of the most beautiful cars of its time. Here is the kit - Model Factory Hiro 166MM in 1/24 scale:

Each of us will make announcements as to the version we will be building. I'm going to build 49 Le Mans Winner car #22. Steven and Gio's announcements are to follow.

HondaBear: don't know if we can take it to next level (Alex for sure title= ) but I'm sure to be right if I say that isn't easy to do: yep the kit is great but need a lot of effort: I'm sure that with Alex knowledge as help we will overtake some troubles.
