    Rear shocks re vamped with better coils...kit shocks were pathetic. The moulded coil lines didn’t line up on the mould halves and were very shallow. It would have been really hard to paint (LHS shock is the before in first picture) Indexed things with a brass pin

    Thanks guys for the encouraging comments Wheels are painted gloss black and valves added. Rotors drilled and painted gold Then bagged up along with the interior to protect them...from me

    Originally I was doing a black on black Gas Monkey Garage F40, but I just did the 288GTO in black. So now I am going to go this direction

    I focused the start up on finishing up the interior..black with carbon fibre

    So next up on my desk during this forced viral isolation, the F40 I started this kit in 2015 and am determined to get it finished this time. Here is what I did back then

    Excellent, very well done. Like the colour combo’s

    You are doing a spectacular job I have all three of the big Italeri retro kits in the stash. A bit too chicken to break one open though this lay off would be a good time?

    Thank guys.....she is fair to middling, oh and moved to big boys section, ok. A bit disappointed in the kit fitment in some areas and blow away by detail in others I wanted it completed to move on to other builds, so made compromises that I must live with. Still a very fun build Hope everyone is staying safe and healthy during our corona times

    First finished kit under forced preventative Covid isolation. Nice big 1/16 kit from Fujimi Would like to have displayed engine on its own, but no alternative mouldings for that in the kit

    Ya me too super clean ???

    Ha ha Hi Mike and thanks Ya after a year the red has faded a bit and need a good vacuuming!! bugger I did a little carpet cleaning and made polished aluminum buttons for beside the e-brake handle. The shifter gate needs to be stripped and re-chromed, just didn't come out as shiny as I thought it would

    An amazing model. You have made some fantastic additions

    Hi Rich Yes I am planning on supporting the car's under the body too...something solid and black to hide under there. The leather is from a local store, as light weight (thickness) as I could get. It is lambskin I believe. A chrome tanned lamb leather hide works well. Springfield leather is a good source in the States. I am using the internal/ suede side as the outer grain side was shiny and looked out of scale. The suede side is a better colour match too. Thanks for looking

    So a year later and I pick this back up. I will pick away at the interior over the spring among other projects Made some toggles and dials for the center console out copper wire and brass tubing

  20. Twokidsnosleep
    Engine dry fit
  21. Twokidsnosleep
    Cheers Gary and Bruce? She is coming along
  22. Twokidsnosleep
    Ok so up on her wheels this weekend. Body dry fitted, hood not so great at the moment I had to make some threaded brass rods to allow these Fujimi wheels work...it was a lot of work to get the little nuts on the bolts!
  23. Twokidsnosleep
    HI Bruce it does look like a frame straightener Just needed something as a stable reference to check level and square as I added the suspension and wheel assemblies. The kit parts were semi mangled with separating them and removing contact cement so I lost some plastic and some attachment points...like all of them
  24. Twokidsnosleep
    Cheers Dan
