krishna.iskandana Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 Hellos is a ferrari F40 from tamiya, built oob with TS-8 Italian Red. Let me know what you think and thanks for looking. Cheers Krishna Iskandana Perth, WA
crispy Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 Krishna, that looks pretty good! Did you spray the red right over the kit plastic? It seems to have a toy-like look when viewing the rear with the bonnet up. If I may add one constructive criticism. If you can, gently pull the clear covers off the front and run either a black sharpie around the edges or semi gloss paint. I think it would really add a bit more realism to the car. Just want to help you out. Otherwise it's a very clean build of an iconic Ferrari. Thanks for sharing. Chris
Brizio Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 Very nice job!!! The last Ferrari that the Drake saw!!! It is also very impressive on the road!

I usually spray the plastic with white surface primer before spraying the paint. I will make sure to apply black sharpie around the edges for my future builds. Cheers Krishna Iskandana

RodneyBad Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 Great looking F40 Paint looks good. Motor looks good also. 3 Exhaust tips on a Ferrari? One heck of a Muffler tho.

Surprised I haven't commented yet? This is very well built! This is making me want to build the 5 or more kits I have even more! I got a special one thats going to be posted real soon! The muffler was pretty much a chamber for the turbos but eahc of the outer pipes were the pipes coming from each header and the middle was the exhaust outlet pipe for the turbo, so it was essecntially straight through! Hey, it was a factory street legal race car Edited September 18, 2009 by Nick F40
