Re: Ferrari 312 B3 1973 1:12
The 312 B3 1973 was not a very competitive car, so there is a lack of useful photos, especially of the car's rear end. As most of Formula 1 pictures, they are are obliquely from the front.
That led to some difficulties choosing the correct decals at the body's sides. Additionally decals differed between the drivers Ickx and Merzario and changed from race to race. Building Merzario's Monaco car I finally decided me for that lay out.

Small update with the Magnesium cast bridge above the motor for the rear suspension.
I cut it from a Polyurethane block. Added some styrene strips and tubes

Next step is the construction of the rear suspension.
I was lucky finding a suitable upright in my spare box, because the lower part(area below the transaxle) must be short, as the lower wishbone is mounted over the exhausts. In the 1974 version lower wishbone leads under the exhausts. Next photos show the lower wishbones soldered from brass tubes.

The front tubular trellis frame is soldered now. I used 1.8, 1.3 and 1.2 mm brass tubes.
I added fixations for the watercooler and the brake fluid reservoirs.

All these scratch-build works are fantastic! You have very good workmanship that not a lot of people have.
