Nice Alan.
Here is a resin 312P body made a long time ago under the name of Lesco100 (They made the coupe version too) I don't who they were/are, but to my eyes, it's the nicest 312P available. Mine is fitted with a Riko chassis.

Here is one we don't see very often, I guess it could be replicated by modifying an existing 312P

I have just a handful of Ferraris in my small collection that I need to assemble, but they are some of my favorites. Just realized, I have the wheel spinners for this car, so consider it unfinished.

Joel I recon butchering a fly chevron might be easier

..or start with a Betta polystyrene vac-formed 312PB.
(I enjoyed tracking down what this one was - the NART badge gave it away!)

Not sure what would be easiest, I think the real car was a re-bodied 312P in which case is would be bigger then either the PB or the Chevron.
It ended up looking like this.

I might do the first version, as a project for this year.

I thought the chevron as it has that flat wedge front and the rear deck isn’t to far out either

The Betta 312PB is a ‘handling’ body, so it’s oversize and would do quite well for one of these. The polystyrene is really easy to cut and shape. I used one to make a 1972 Le Mans Duckhams Cosworth, which you can find on this forum.

Guys, thanks for the suggestions, it's much appreciated, in my thick head I had decided that starting from a 312P was the best way to go. Now I am a little bit confused, I'll measure things and decide how I progress, I do have a couple of spare Fly Chevron, and Ian is easy to contact if I need to.

Speaking of 312P, I found this lovely French kit on ebay recently. Inside carved reads “Spa 69”.

3 Breadvans, don't know who made the first 2, but the black fibreglass one was made by the late great Derek Cooper.

Circuit 24 was the generic name for slotcars in France in the same way Scalextric is in the UK.
250TR, 1960 LM winner.

If you thought the Fly Daytona was a bit wide (you would be right) but see what someone did to it in the early 70s in order to comply with the silly racing rules of the period. Thunderslot is now halfway to the same sillyness. The one on the right is more to scale, recast of the Ikko model.

And just for fun, another picture of the Hasegawa 1/24th Dino. Currently sitting in my "to redo" pile. (I lent it to someone at Rockingham who totally trashed it crashing every lap going full pelt into the first corner).

IL Commendatore! Or God, as I thought of him in my teenage years.

This little beauty is a Scalextric Ferrari F40 road car. This is my favourite F40 model and it even has working brake lights. Not sure why Scalextric gave it a rally car crew.

A Ferrari a Ferrari my kingdom for a Ferrari, don't have the kingdom but i do have a Ferrari.

Or two plus there are more.

Interesting point on the 0123 logos on the F40.
There's a guy on YouTube does vids on typical Tokyo work and life, its rather different from here.
He did a vid on a typical Tokyo flat and move to a new one.
The removal company was quite possibly a seriously good improvement on your typical Pickford's, the company is 0123, so accidentally I discovered what the hell 0123 were.
