Exotics_Builder Posted June 25, 2016 Posted June 25, 2016 Randy, this is really looking good. I still haven't decided on my color choice. Studio 27, BTW, is producing two decal sets for other color combinations. Even though I already have the kit, I likely won't build it until after the move back west. I'll be watching your progress on this!!
Brizio Posted June 26, 2016 Posted June 26, 2016 Nice progress, the detail you are adding are a game changer.
Randy D Posted July 4, 2016 Author Posted July 4, 2016 Hi Folks, Thanks Paul! Hi Chris, Thanks buddy! (belated Happy Birthday) Thank you Brian! Scott, I knew what that part was, I just didn't want to use big words so you folks north of the border could follow along Ben, Did not know they made one for this kit! I got the Tamiya add on set... Hi Dennis, Thank you for commenting ! Thanks Tony!! Hey Tim, Appreciate it! Hi Gerry, I have seen the yellow and white ones and like them both. Hi Ryan, Thanks for following! Hi Fabrizio, Thank you my friend! Busy with summer stuff but the weather has been good and got some paint on this one... Will let this dry out for a few days and then I have some clean up work to do. I really struggled with the candy paint job keeping an even finish on all the separate body pieces. Will see how it looks with the decals on it. Thanks for looking ! Randy
superbike-shaun Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 Randy,that paint looks miles deep! What paint did you spray?,,, thanks
Twokidsnosleep Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 I agree, the lighting is not great and you can still see it glow and reflect Nice stuff, pal
Codi Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 Those few pics of the paint Randy look fantastic. I've no doubt this will be stunning when finished. Great job. cheers, tim
Randy D Posted July 16, 2016 Author Posted July 16, 2016 (edited) Hi Folks, Shaun, Thank you and here is what I used... Thank Scott! Hi Ben, Thanks, have you started yours yet? Thanks Tim !! You guys are too kind with the comments on the paint. Have yet to finish up that part. Some progress to show... Some reference shots taken from the LaFerrari parts catalog. .... Made the decision to simplify the plumbing of the four different oil coolers that are mounted behind the screens in front of the rear wheel tubs. I will run the piping directly to the coolers and not try to model the various values, filters and manifolds that you can see in the diagrams. The engine oil cooler is the larger one on the passenger side. I ran lines between the oil pump on the lower right side of the motor block to the cooler then from the cooler to the oil reservoir. The transaxle has two sets of lines. One set runs from the left side rear of the transaxle over the top of the transaxle then up to the smaller cooler on the right side. The second set runs from the left side of the transaxle by the axle and up to the smaller (upper) cooler on the left side. The big square box gets lines running to the second cooler on the left side. Using the braided lines from 'Pro-Tech' . Ferrari does not use the standard A&N fittings for these lines. I made my versions using some plastic nut, bolt and washer castings from Tichy , nickel silver tubing from Albion and some copper colored nuts from RB Motion. Thanks for looking in!

aurfalien Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 Like I said earlier, this will be drivable for certain.The body paint is stunning!
Bennyg Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 Awesome. This is easily the most detailed Ferrari out there. Ben
Codi Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 Whew, I was starting to wonder when the next update might be coming..................just in time. Fantastic details you're adding and I like the fact you're taking the time to document and share for us how you're doing it and what you're using. I had a big smile when I saw the pic of Albion Alloy tubes on your desk. For those scratch builders looking for a great source for hard to find sizes and materials, check em' out. Sorry Randy for the mini hi-jack. I won't do it again. Can't wait to see the painted car in totality. Cheers, tim
superbike-shaun Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 WOW Randy,Just WOWWWWWWWWW. very awesome detail, when i looked at your post, i was crosseyed trying to follow the plumbing. MY GOODNESS!
Mooneyzs Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 Randy.... Incredible updates my friend.

martinfan5 Posted September 2, 2016 Posted September 2, 2016 You know Randy, ive been wanting to start on of my FXX-K kits, but after watching you build yours, all can think of is I would just be building a toy compared to the work you are doing, my chin is on the floor.
Bennyg Posted September 2, 2016 Posted September 2, 2016 Randy, I hope you're taking heaps more pictures so you can do a "how to" on this.Ben
