With Lamborghini's stunning Miura in the late '60s, followed by the iconic Countach, the age of mid-engined supercars had begun, and Ferrari was under pressure to follow suit. Despite Enzo Ferrari's traditionalist views of "the horse in front of the cart", the 1970's saw Ferrari answer with the Berlinetta Boxer, or more well known as the BB.

Named for its hardtop body and the horizontally opposed boxer engine adapted from the track to the road, the BB saw continuing development into its final form, the 512 BBi. With its 5 liter 12 cylinder engine, and later fuel injection, the Berlinetta Boxer could run with the fastest cars of its day.

This is Fujimi's Ferrari 512 BBi model kit, and one that went together great aside from the rear valence/bumper, which didn't seem to want to fit well. It didn't matter how good or bad the kit was to me; this has always been one of my top favorite cars to come from Ferrari.
