Ferrari F40 IMSA Italeri 1/24

[1959scudetto]

Finally finished this one: started around 1990 and finished it today.

Mostly box stock apart from some detailing.

In comparison with its civilian brother (also Italeri):

"Winged warriors" - Italian style:

 

Here is sort of a WIP if interested:

Great looking IMSA Ferrari. Well done. In fact, they all look great.

This turned oput great Helmut. Lots of extra detail work that really shows off this model. Great job. 

[PappyD340]

Great job on one of the most beautiful cars of all time.

Thank you all for the positive comments on this kit (which has certainly its issues).

Very nice.

Looks great Helmut, I was lucky and saw it run at Mosport IIRC it finished 2nd.

 

[Dave B]

Good one Helmut, just the nicest looking later model Ferrari.  Nothing since looks as good.

Well done Helmut, I like it!

What about the naca duct intake in the center of the hood, did you do that yourself? It‘s not included in the kit‘s body, right?

Lucky guy, I have only seen photos of it online.

Exactly my words, Dave - though I also do have the later F50 and Enzo kits in my stash, I find them not as esthetically pleasing as the F40.

Correct, Thomas, I cut it into the body with a hobby knife.
