At last we are nearing completion of the fantastically detailed and very beautiful Ferrari 250TR Scaglietti ‘pontoon fender’ of 1957 at 1/8^th scale. Here you can see many of the master parts assembled together on the bench to check fit before being put into rubber tooling to cast the parts for the first 15 models.
