Can't believe that I missed this thread until Page 3!

Superb work Martin; your scratch-building skills are wonderful.

Regards,
Bill

Re: GB 60 red years: F40 LM 1:16

Update time.
I am still working on the Turbo setup.
I realized I had to modify the Wastegate. It has a very visible place in the engine compartment and the Fujimi kit has the stock F40 wastegate:



Which doesn't look anything like the F40 LM wich is much bigger and polished:



I began with cutting some pieces of aluminum tubing, and made the flanges from styrene sheet:



And the result after some Alclad II chrome. I will fix the angle later:

Great attention to detail, Martin. The wastegate looks like a perfect match and the Alclad finish is perfect.
