Ich_Will Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 The hard fought build of the F40 is done. I learned a lot of what not to do with PE parts (my first time). It’s not perfect but I’m happy overall. I gotta do another one of these, maybe yellow tho... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carmad1957 Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 I can see why you're happy with it! I'm guilty of over criticizing my work as well! Have a few Ferrari builds coming up myself....is that the Tamiya kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carmad1957 Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 It's just my opinion, but I've found that the Tamiya kits are generally better. By better, I mean crisp, clean and very sharply detailed. There is never flash, and the way they pin them to the sprue is close to perfect. I'd say you did a great job with that car, and look forward to your next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dann Tier Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 You did a fantastic job here, bud!!!.....I actually prefer this kit over the Tamiya versions. Can I make a little suggestion?.....paint your front side indicators with silver paint, then cover that with clear orange. They will look like realistic lights......keep up the great work!!

This one was still enjoyable, and I have 3 more Fujimi Ferraris (plus I have it on good authority the wife is giving me 3 for Christmas). Thanks for the compliment.

aurfalien Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 This one turned out far far better then mine, well done. The Fujimi kit is better then the Tamiya one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
