Model or real

Postby expat » Sat Dec 09, 2006 2:01 pm

Not sure if this has been posted before, but it is a model of a 1:3 scale Ferrari 312pb. Below is a link to a few photos. The second link is to a video of said model running. It has a fully functional 12 cylinder dry sump fuel injected engine. 15 years and 20,000 hours. Pierre Scerri is a modeling God.

I just wish my modeling reflected the skill this guy has in his little finger.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Alas there are some people that seem to possess near superhuman talent. I won't comment on some of my Airfix models that have suffered daughter related accidents followed by superglue repair jobs ::)

He must be self employed, independently wealthy, or have lots of free time. Figure in 15 years a person would amass approx. 31,000 of work based on a 40 hour week, with no vacation time taken.
