The Supersonic has landed.

Headers are part of the engine, carbs and aircleaner are not. Headers connect with the exhaust pipe which is printed as part of the engine compartment.

How'd I miss this one??  

Absolutely gorgeous! And this reinforces what I've been saying about 3D printing! The sky's the limit of what can be done!

Awesome!

Bill,        Surely you attended the Philly NNL earlier this year? I displayed the model there.

No, missed that one. IIRC, it was too snowy that period of time and I didn't trust the roads or the parking area. Perhaps this one coming up I'll get to if the weather cooperates (for me).

I’m truly amazed! Beautiful subject, beautiful craftsmanship! 

Can I ask what program you used for 3D artwork?

Please tell me there is resin copy avail .

I'm good with a curbside version

The Lusso I modified from a 330 LMB, about 21 years ago. I painted it red but since then decided that looked a bit too common and so I am now repainting it in Gravity Colors MB Ice Blue. I have displayed it over the years but, oddly, it never drew much interest. I cast the body and sent it to an English builder that I swapped kits with , who when he quit building, sent it to Scalekraft. So it is the basis of his kit. Unfortunately, he went out of business about 11 years ago. The Lusso is my favorite Ferrari and in my top ten favorite cars.

Apologize for not replying in Feb.!    I had acquired the Model Factory Hiro kit this summer, so I got that out of my system.  More back to topic, I got two different bodies from Shapeways, the Ferrari Berlinetta is much better quality than the Chevy COE.  It makes a huge difference on the plastic?  Is there different formulas for the plastic?  Does digital file size matter, if someone models in 1/43 but blows up to 1/25, would the result look like it's carved from wood or sand cast?

BTW: Your model looks awesome!

I used Sketchup to modify the file for 3d printing. The file for the body was obtained elsewhere, PM me for details.

This was printed by an Atlanta area 3d printer, and he will print one for you for $150 plus shipping. PM me for details. Engine and engine compartment are included.

Your models were made from two different materials. The COE was made from what they call SWF - strong white flexible - I think they have changed the name recently.  It's finish is  rough and "sandy" and requires a lot of primering and sanding. It can be finished well with a lot of work. The Ferrari was made from a high detail material and is much higher resolution and the material is much easier to finish but is more expensive, and it's worth it. The file size does not matter if the digital file is well made and detailed. You can print a 1/43rd model or cut out a 1:1 master using a CNC machine.

Know what to look for now!  Thank you.  I did wet-sand the Ferrari to see how it would go, seemed to be slightly harder than styrene.
