wow - that is stunning. The best '36 I've ever seen!

A great job there Jason. I love the colour - it looks very period, and if you didn't say, I would have thought it was a real Ferrari shade! I like the nice deep panel lines and good use of chrome foil/Alclad. I have two of these kits on the shelf waiting to be built (a Spyder and a Coupe), and - yes - the windshield posts on my Spyder are snapped too. Very nice to see a Ferrari of this vintage without the Barroni wheels. The kit ones would not have looked good on such a nicely finished model anyway. I can only hope that when I finally build my one of these it looks as good as yours. Do you remember what the part number for those Campagnolo wheel + tyres were? HRM...?

A very cool Camino. Good photography too.

Nice Z28! Good choice of colour, nice wheels and great detail.

This is a stunning model Jurgen. Your scratch building skills are amazing. It is utterly flawless - as are your other 1/20 builds. Do you have any pictures of the building process? I would love to see more.

A very nice build there Yuriy. A very clean build with good choice of colour and great photography.

Nice work Mike!

Nice one. Those decals must have been a challenge!

This is a spectacular build! I bet many builders of a 1:1 would not have put in this much effort. Keep up the amazing work.

Lovely build Bruce. Great colour combo and a perfect stance. I would love a 1:1 one just like that in my garage.

Looking good. Where are those wheels from?

That's a super sharp looking model Chris. Nice work. I love the colour and the flawless finish.

For me it as to be the 356 Porsche range from Fujimi. Not the easiest kits to build due to the shear complexity, but detailing and accuracy to die for! Tamiya's Enzo is also superbly engineered and I suspect their new LaFerrari will be a masterpiece of engineering too.

A BEAUTIFUL model Sean. I can't wait to see the kit.

This is going to look really bad for me... Number of kits in my stash: 283 Number of kits completed in the last year: 0 That make my percentage: 0% ( I worked on a lot of stuff - just didn't complete anything!)

I just spotted a couple of extras for the LaFerrari on Tamiya's website. They've got a PE set (Item No:12654) and a carbon decal sheet (item No: 12656). They're both shown at the bottom of this link... http://www.tamiya.com/english/products/24333/index.htm With the LaFerrari kit due for despatch from HLJ any time now I've decided to order both extras now. Hopefully all will arrive together. Something to do for Christmas!

Very nice and squeaky clean. I love the Red Fire paint Tom.

I'm not sure if news of a new release belongs in this section. I just pre-ordered this from HLJ... http://www.hlj.com/product/FUJ12583/Aut It's one of their 'Real Spors Car' series, so I guess we can look forward to an over simplified engine, and little underside detail. Still; it's just such an insane looking car that I though I must put one on my shelf next to my Countach and Mercielago. It'll make them look boring.

Nice job. Some of those pictures look like a 1:1 car!

That is soooo beautiful Peter. I watched your build with interest. I am very familiar with this kit and have been looking forward to building it some day. Your one looks absolutely stunning. I remember seeing a Coupe in this colour racing against a boat on Top Gear. I remember thinking I would like to build my Fujimi in the same colour - but you beat me to it! The Top Gear clip is here... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBBy-4tnWoM

That's a fine job done there on the Daytona Peter. Its looking amazing! I built the Spyder version about 15 years ago and I remember it being an amazing kit - one of the best I've ever seen. I have bought a spare one of these kits because I needed the a second convertible top. It sounds like you've already got a pair of indicators on the way to you, but if things don't work out just let me know your address and I can send you a pair. Look forward to seeing this one finished.

To be honest - this kit will probably sit in my stash waiting for me to get round to it one day. I'm fed up with carbon fibre work (I'm still doing my Tamiya 1/12 Enzo), and I'm not that impressed with this kit. I really love the F1 and have looked forward to receiving this kit since I first heard of it, but the doors with no hinges are not a great idea. I wish the engine was a full detail one too. And the tyres with no side wall markings (as seems to be the case with all new kits!) just don't look right. It'll probably still make a nice display model, but its just not one I'm that enthused about right now.

and some more pics...

I finally got round to taking some pictures in my not-so-well lit photo booth. So, I apologise in advance as these pics aren't great...

This is a great idea Andy, and what a good kit base to start from. Tamiya's kit of the mk11 is great. I've often looked at it and though it would make the great basis for a custom. It looks like you have at least two of these kits so you could build one stock for comparison. Inspector Morse would be impressed!
