Hi Ringleheim,
thank you for your compliments !
Attached, other photos of modified 500 F2 details.
These are the pipes connecting the engine to the front radiator of the water which have been integrated with the hoses and the self-made clamps that reflect those used in 1952 and the springs that served to hold the front hood of the car, modified in the springs (correct diameter and finish) and in the attachments to the bodywork.
Greetings,
Giovanni La Rosa

Hello,
the Ferrari 500 F2 is finished!
Last weekend, exactly on December 3,4,5 2021 he participated in the Historical Modeling Exhibition which was held in Catania Italy, organized by CSMS, a group of loccal historical figures.
My 1/12 scale Ferrari 500 F2 won the Best of Show Trophy!
This was very unexpected for me because winning such a trophy in an exhibition organized by fashion designers, populated by hundreds of planes, military vehicles, tanks, dioramas and figures, was a wonderful surprise and, I think, that the organizers and the judges had a lot of courage to make a choice like this.
Ciao,
Giovanni La Rosa
