Thanks for posting all the research photos and the links, I am a Ferrari Tifosi at heart and love the 156 Shark Nose. All I can say is "What a Great F-1 Car" behind the TG-1 Eagle it is right up there on the most beautiful F-1 Car ever.. Paul, your Fotki Album is great!! I have a 1/43 to build and 2 Hong Kong toys to convert courtesy of Patrick G. Chris

Good luck with the mesh covers on Trip's car! I was going to make the yellow shark nose until I came against the dreaded mesh screen! I tried to do a drilled mesh screen...hated it! If you find a way PLEASE let me know!

I built this 1/24 Modellisimmo Leonardo 11 years ago…it had clear intake covers… It lost a wheel in The Great Flood of 2017…I really need to restore it properly… Seems the 156 sometimes had clear…but the cars with clear always seem to be from 1962… I’m guessing the 62 cars confused the resin master…the previous photos are from 1961 Monza, so mesh it was! Cool story: Enzo was so disappointed with the 62-63 results that he destroyed ALL 156’s…any you see today, like at Goodwood, are replicas… Tim

If I may offer a solution for the mesh intake covers. I have done this and it works (might take a little practice).
Take the plastic cover and fill the inside of it with resin (a release agent will be helpful). When it sets, place your mesh screening on the inside of the plastic cover and press the resin part into the cavity. Remove mesh from the sandwich, trim off the excess and you have a mesh intake cover, exact fit.

Paul, actually MFH already has a way to make the mesh covers. It's the same method I did for the mesh covers on the BRM.

Better still! Exact same but you don't have to make the jig.

Paul aka 2whl, I was going to post the exact same thing! MFH does that for you and if you happen to have bought that kit, you have paid a real good price for a "buck" on which to do mesh covers for a Ferrari 156 Dino. Small aftermarket profile but it is there! LOL!

Here is interesting dilemma... the slots on the lower wind screen are very prominent in all of the photos of the actual car at Monza as evidenced below. I have not laid hands on the kit yet, but am wondering about the clear parts from MFH. Can they be trimmed to match the real car? Thanks in advance and here is the photo...

If you look at the mesh covers on my C2, they were made using the non pointy end of a x-acto knife as the male and the cap from a sharpie pen as the female.
A somewhat more economical method.
Whatever works!
