A.R.C. Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 F-40 are such a bad bad car! My favorite Ferrari. Nice work so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plasticfanatic Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 SUPERB, the engine unit is a beauty in itself, can't wait to see more updates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chillyb1 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 You are doing a superb job with this kit. I built and found it challenging but rewarding. Looks great when completed. Are you going to paint the red or use the decals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby 427 1965 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Looking fantastic! I built this kit too - please be careful of a fitment issue on the rear hatch, it doesn't go on properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

935k3 Posted January 20, 2013 Author Share Posted January 20, 2013 (edited) Looking fantastic! I built this kit too - please be careful of a fitment issue on the rear hatch, it doesn't go on properly. I know this kit is famous for that. I did allot of work to fix that including getting rid of the mounting post that attach cahsssis to the body. I then made that air intake at the back of the side window one piece as on the real car. I also covered that stupid notch in that area. Some plastic was added to make it fit better. Edited January 21, 2013 by 935k3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace-Garageguy Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Yes, sweet, clean work. I especially like the slight scuffing effect on the (PE?) brake rotor faces...very realistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scalemodelworld Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Awesome looking build. Your detailing is amazing. I agree with Bill about the brakes, and the interior detail is the best I've ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
935k3 Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 The brakes are photo-etch sanded in a circular motion with 1000 grit sand paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennyboy Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Beautiful work on an amazing car. I have the Protar 1:12 F40 in my collection of "not finished" and builds like this are an inspiration to pull it out and get back to work on it.
