  21. My build idea here was to build the LM into a "barely street legal" version of Ferrari's F40. I also wanted to see first hand why people shy away from building this kit - I've only ever seen two built, and they both seem to have the same issues. All the glass parts fit like BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH right out of the box, so I cut apart all the windows and re shaped them to fit better. The side glass was replaced by clear acetate, and until I can find some super thin clear acetate that bends easily, I'm not putting on the headlamp covers. In my opinion, they were by far the worst part of the kit. I did several body mods: cut open the rear cowl "gills", added body work to the side rear windows, filled in the rocker panel vents, cut off that very ugly chin spoiler on the front, and scratch built a stock rear wing & kill switch. I also added parts from a Tamiya F40 kit, such as : seats, lower dash vents, foot pedals, stock wheels & tires, wiper, oil filter unit, and tail lights- they had already been painted. Photo etch parts were: seat belts, designer and Ferrari scripts, gas fills, and rear mesh. I also used self adhesive 3D Ferrari emblems I got off Ebay that stick really well !! I scratch built floor mats and the headlamp buckets. I slightly weathered the engine, and added braided intercooler & turbo lines. A lot of people say that you can't really see the detail behind the rear glass, but after I polished it a bit, it is not too bad - especially in person. After all, the window in the real car wasn't glass, and it wasn't that clear anyway. Hope you enjoy, thanks for looking!!!!!
  22. And here I thought I was the only one who wanted to build Fujimi's Ferrari F40LM kit!! -hopefully I will be posting mine up tonight........cant wait to see yours!!!
  23. Nice job on this kit!! -This is only the third one of these Fujimi F40's I've seen built. I must say, you did an excellent job on all the windows too. I just got done with my Fujimi LM, so I know how horrible those windows AND headlamp covers fit. Great looking build!
