I was given this kit by a good friend who produces these wonderful products for a living.

Be rude not to build it...!

 

 

...getting there.

Ultra cool with a hint of Wow.

You must build. :-)

Very nice, I take that to be Amon's 612 Can Am Ferrari.

I had the pleasure of seeing, and better, hearing this car at the 69 Glen Can Am, even have a photo. It sounded like no previous Ferrari, but like one which produced serious torque, and well it should from  6.2 l.The car looked so much better without the huge wing which it sometimes wore.

It was fast too, Amon dealt with everyone..., except Bruce and Denny. With a little development from the factory, this one could have been a contender.Sadly that was just not possible in 1969-70.

Yup! The one I am building - whisper it - does have the the big wing on it though. Sorry.

 

If you like unusual Ferrari sounds, find the videos of the 212E on Youtube!

Actually, here is one now... Ferrari 212E sound on Youtube

Do you happen to know which year and race your model is based on? The original 612 of 68 had the big rear wing but it only entered one race Las Vegas. The 69 model was without the wing till about Jul and the Road America race. Amon seemed to have better results without the wing including best ever 2nd at Edmonton.

That was a great car… the 712 was even more monstrous, though not as competitive.

Nicely done, I built the Mid-Ohio version of Amon's 612P

Excellent choice!
