Impalow Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 This is so cool to watch! I built one of these 1/8 scale monsters when I was a kid since the f40 was one of my favorite cars! Yours is downright amazing, great design touches and truly unique! Great Work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mirage1980 Posted March 20, 2022 Author Share Posted March 20, 2022 we come to a question that made me study a lot, namely the hinges of the front hood. Since the machine is very low and more elongated than the original, when it opens it must necessarily stand up at the tip. The system that I will put in fact is this ...

beeRS Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 This is an amazing build. I actually thought some of the pictures of the interior were a 1:1 car. Its a shame that some of the earlier pictures in this thread are no longer displaying for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

absmiami Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Thoughts: if Court of the Crimson King is your favorite rock album - its well chosen … thought II. Everyone should try to build a 1/8 sc kit at least once - if you mess up ANYTHING - it looks like a toy - would enjoy seeing you tackle the 8th sc Lotus 72 kit - could i tempt you to back date the C spec kit to build the red, gold, and white Series 1 model …. ?? That would be fun … Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tutti dovrebbero provare a costruire un kit da 1/8 sc almeno una volta - se sbagli QUALCOSA - sembra un giocattolo - mi piacerebbe vederti affrontare il kit 8th sc Lotus 72 - potrei tentarti di datare indietro il kit delle specifiche C per costruire il modello Serie 1 rosso, oro e bianco .... ?? Sarebbe divertente … thank you very much. Yes King Crimson is one of my favorite bands along with Genesis, Yes, Camel, Mariĺlion etc. Regarding the construction of the Lotus it would be nice but the Pocher kit is not yet available.

Codi Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 The body is perfection.

The main muse is a revisitation of the F40 designed by designer Samir Sadikhov. My intention is to maintain almost all of the pocher kit, modifying it to make it similar to the designer's project, similar because I will also use mine. Images will not load on my Kindle.
