David Thibodeau Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 My first 1:43rd but definitely not my last! I was worried about the roof line on this body since its so low, but once the car is totally done, it is not even noticeable in my opinion! I parked it next to my 1:24 Red FXX so you have an idea how small it is.... Thanks for looking..... DaveT
FujimiLover Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 Awesome 1/43! But the roof line does look low. Look's like sombody at the chop-shop chopped the roof a scale inch or two! Wonder what happened? I've never seen an F-40 with a low roofline like that. I hope whenever I build my 1/43 it look's this good!
RatRod Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 That must be the Starter F40, it does have some roof issues. I have built more 1/43rd's than I care to remember...lol. I think the BBR F40's were some of the best offered in this scale. You did a great job on this one Dave!!!
vizio93 Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 nice !!! i really like that FXX ferrari. keep up the good work
Nick F40 Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 Well, I love this no matter what, it came out incredible. The roof does looked chopped though, it give it that IMSA GTP look.

David Thibodeau Posted May 17, 2009 Author Posted May 17, 2009 Do those cars usually have a low roof line? It is a NICE BUILD for SURE! The cars usually dont have that low of a line but that was a big complaint with this particular kit made by STARTER... The ride height was too high as well. I was able to correct that by grinding out the wheel well areas to get the tires up in and tucked properly... At first when I was in process on the build I was really dissapointed with the low roof line and the stance but being able to get one of them remedied satisfied me on the final outcome... Thanks all!

Nick F40 Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 It's low car with a low roof line but not that low. They just didn't proportion it right. He did do a good job though making it somewhat unnoticable
cruz Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 Awesome, that thing looks 1/18th scale I can't even do that good of a job with a 1/4th scale!!!
FujimiLover Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 Like I said, whenever I get my 1/43 scale resin cars, I hope mine turn out this beautiful!
ScrappyJ Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 Hey, Dave- Hope all is well. Anothe great job! I just saw the article in the magazine on the FXX. Excellent job on that one too!
