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)  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: "Aerodynamics is for people who can't build engines" - Enzo Ferrari
