Ferrari s/n: 1010

Ferrari s/n: 1010 is one of the few cars that had several "suits", read bodies on the same chassis. The last one was as a 1974 Ferrari 712 that only raced in Watkins Glen Can-Am. A model of it exists in 1/43 but when it shows, it is usually over $200 US, so I decided to buy a 1972 Ferrari 712 from the "Ferrari Racing Collection" for $29.95 US and convert it.
The photo sequence is:
1 - Ferrari 712 (1974) racing at Watkins Glen.
2 - 1972 Ferrari 712 by "Ferrari Racing Collection".
3 - 1st cut, remove what does not go with the 1974 model.
4 - 2nd cut, install the aluminium pieces to do the conversion.
5 - Filling with epoxy
6 - The 1974 Ferrari 712 complete and primed.
7 - After the red paint and the decals

So you use aluminum and epoxy! Not plasticard?
