Silk Purse From A Sow's Ear?.... Maybe... [PIC]

About 35 years ago I was madly in love with the Ferrari 330P4 and all the variants  of that mid to late '60s period. The only show in town was Jouef models who did the 330P4 in 1/43, 1/24 and 1/18. Jouef always baffled me as their 1/43 and 1/24 were beautifully detailed with all opening panels as well as engine details. They were cutting edge in 1/43 and equal to Mint quality in 1/24. It was frustrating that in 1/18, although they produced both coupes and spyders as well as the 412P in various liveries, the parts count on these models were no better than any $25 you could get in Big Box outlets. I bought 4 of these from eBay a 330P4 in coupe and spyder and 2 412Ps in N.A.R.T livery and this Scuderia Filipinetti. The bodies themselves were accurate and actually, the ride height was more accurate than the precision GMP models that came decades later. I added mesh screening to the grill openings added mirror inserts to the fender mounted mirrors, cleaned up the livery that was just water slide decals that had discolored and cracked and then focused on the engine bay. There wasn't a lot of pics of great quality that I could find back then but I knew there should be 4 coils , two distributors and 2 plugs per cylinder on the V12 as well as bare metal heat shields over the exhaust headers. For the wiring, I stripped some from an old electric motor that I had laying around. After I painted the wires, they looked like the proper scaled diameter and then went through the rather tortuous process  of drilling and wiring. The single wire coils were easy. The distributors started as a glob of epoxy shoved in copper bands of the proper diameters ( the soft copper bands are used in dentistry) and inserted all the ignition wiring before the epoxy set. The result looks pretty cool although I can't vouch for its accuracy. I did this twice: one for this 412P and the other for the #23 330P4.
