CMC is without a doubt one of the best model manufacturers the world has ever seen. Their 1:18 scale model are usually priced over the Rs 30 thousand mark and are an absolute copy of the real car to the minutest details. The Ferrari 312P engine from the 312 Berlinetta seen here then, is no exception.

Although small in terms of overall size, the 1:12th scale engine is imposing. CMC could not have chosen a more beautifully sculpted engine, with its powder coated, white, exhaust manifolds and triple carburetors topped up by 12 individual air intakes. The engine, capable of producing 420PS provided the 312P Spyder and Berlinetta with a top speed up to 320 kmph. As with the real deal, CMC has detailed the likes of the distributor, with 12 individual spark plug wires and the intricate throttle linkage assemble. This engine, is truly a model maker’s masterpiece.

The texture on the casting itself is well detailed to replicate the likes of cast iron, steel and aluminum components that make up this engine. The likes of the oil filter and the auxiliary oil lines, combined with the finely detailed cables that make up the throttle and clutch linkages are also well replicated. The transmission too is well replicated with its various casting effects and mounting points. The Magneti Marelli ignition coil and its bracket too are absolute masterpieces of hand crafted Italian precession model making.
