Great creation! And epic execution!

Sutch a nice looking build and your details are top notch! Great work and photos does give it justice!

Nice modeling! With that tiny nozle how do you set ut up when printing so you get the detail good. i have had several tiny parts to fail.

Thansk everyone for your kind words! I apriciate al the comments and thoughts! @Rattlecan Dan @slusher @ChrisR @beeRS @Perspect Scale Modelworks @bbowser @PappyD340 @ybsluos @espo @ea0863 @Jim B @Jim N @seanyb505 @happy grumpy

That would be epic, and I belive many folowing the sport would encorage it. And if we compare where alot of the electricity (not regen of course) comes from, a good fuel would still be better. But then again should we grow plats for food or for fuel? Debates debates...

Thanks allot everyone for your kind words! And I also hope the reissue this one. I do have a new kit as well that will be built some time that I got for original retail price since my lhs had missed to list it on their websites and was forgotten I their shelf’s. here is a photo of the car in its dedicated Aston Martin display with memorabilia from my practical training there in 2006.

Nice work! I can agree that the kit have its shortcomings, I have a build going on in WIP and group builds. I had a problem when installing the chassi with interior that the body did not seat as it should. I actually boxed my build for a while thanks to the issues.

I got this kit in a trade with s fellow member here on the board, it was built and some parts missing i took it mostly apart and repainted some parts as well as the body. Interior was painted in a flat gray so I only shot semi gloss clear and detailed it. The seats was replaced with a set of buckets that got a Prodrive decal and belts from “Kits world” and since I only had one set I improvised and extended the optional shoulder belts with Tamiya 3mm tape that I painted with Ohuhu acrylic markers of a similar color. And I made the passenger lap belts in the same way with some PE buckels. I did also make my own seat brackets out of some old floppy discs. And I might have put the seats a bit high. Steering wheel is replaced with a spare o deep wheel. Most decals was shot or missing so I coppied my new set with the printer(bad resolution I believe) and aded some others and printed new ones. Chrome emblems on the engine are from a Mercedes metal transfer I bought. wheels and tires are my own creation that I made to have a ofsett so they would lick the wheel well edge. otherwise quite out of the box. took two more in the afternoon sun.

Nice work on the vette! Chassi looks great. If you want to go the next step on your brakes paint the brake bad black/grayish.

Got the brakes and wheels on. And then I noticed that I had to do some thing about the chrome grill. So I stripped it and painted it the same color as the wheels, which is Vallejo metal color Jet Exhaust.

Welcome to the board! I do build 1/16 but i have a Vette and a C10 and no fords in my lineup ;D Hope you find what you look for.

Welcome from a fellow scandinavian!

Welcome to the board!

Nice decals! I have an issue with my inkjet printer and that is that they easily get blury, like smudged while printing. Need to try and let it dry better directly after i think. In the settings what "paper" do you mark it as, photo paper? I use Green World white ink jet paper and also have an other brand clear paper. I have a Epson Photo printer from 2012 that have otherwise worked well but the ink is getting pricey. I use Decal fluid on them after they are printed and that seems to work ok.

And regarding fitment, depends on what wheel and tire combo you get, but aoshima and Fujimi have an other fitment system than Tamiya. Tamiya have a 2mm rod, and the others have a cylinder. I have made this model of wheel that you can have. Can make the wheel with any backspacing so it fits your F40, the center al ready have tamiya 2mm.

Yes they want to join for the new car and engine rules that comes in 2026. because its a good time to enter when the rules change.

Looks great mate! Engine is a gem and looks so clean! nice work there!

Got interior done made some seat brackets out of old floppy discs and I might have installed the seats to high up. But they look way more in scale than the kit piece. Belts are a combo out of kits world belts and Tamiya 3mm tape that I painted. screwed the body together with the chassis.. getting there..

True that, ford is almost more like a name sponsor in that sense. But of course they bring their own crew to the game. As long as they don’t put wet belts in the engines, right? 😉

Nice project! I like where this is heading!

Nice! Good job on those doors.

GM have not bought Haas, they start a new team, the 11th at the grid. powerunit is as explained above the combination of electric and combustion engine and al regen equipment and such. engines will be Ferraris until they can make their own. They need to engineer a new engine and probably make a new factory. Ford and Audi is making a new engine for 2026 but started couple years ago.

I get that it went back. For me this chassi have been going back the box many times so many awkward things in my opinion so I don’t get interested enough to take my time to correct it. well keep at it!

Sweet build! looks like a great stance and i do really like it!
