The V12 Icona. 3,778 pieces, one very good engine bay shot.
A Brick Club member built the Ferrari Daytona SP3 (42143) and sent photos. The kit is a licensed replica of the Daytona SP3, one of 499 units from Ferrari’s Icona series. The real car is a V12 hypercar. The LEGO version has a V12 with moving pistons you can see through the rear.
The red bodywork replicates the Daytona SP3’s long nose, fastback roof, and wide haunches. At 1:8 scale the proportions come through well.
The V12 sub-assembly takes its time. good builds it carefully before you move on to anything else. The pistons are visible through the rear once the body panels are on, and the mechanism runs smoothly if the sub-assembly is solid.
499 units of the real car were built. The LEGO version captures the same visual drama – a long nose, wide rear haunches, and the V12 block sitting centrally behind the cockpit. The engine bay photo from this subscriber is one of the better ones we have seen from this kit.
This is exactly why I like putting member builds on the blog. The official images tell you what a kit is supposed to look like. Member photos show what it feels like once someone has actually sat down, opened the bags, and worked through it.
If you have just finished Ferrari Daytona SP3, send over a few photos. It does not need to be a full studio setup. A clean table, a finished build, and a few notes on what stood out are enough.
Rent the Ferrari Daytona SP3 and send us your photos
Subscribers get one kit at a time, free post both ways, and as long as they need to build it. When they are done, it goes back and the next one ships out.
