Completed: Enzo's Last Ferrari - F40

The "brute" is finally finished. Despite little set-back with the engine lid, it was pretty straightforward build, but not easy by any means. Kit shows its age, and few of the sub-assemblies gave me serious fitting problems. Nevertheless, it is done, and looks beautiful. Base is signed by me (per request). Thanks!

Great work! I'm so used to seeing red on these. The yellow looks good! What's next?

Re: Completed: Enzo's Last Ferrari - F40

Nice work Alex, great build, fit & finish are all fantastic.
Q. Are those the right rear view mirrors, they look a little strange on the body, i remember my Monteshell came with 3sets of rear view mirrors, why does the F40 come with 2 sets of rearview mirrors?
Fantastic, cant wait to see whats next!!!

Outstanding!!! That's a great recovery after the small mishap with the engine cover breakage.

What an absolute beauty.

Re: Completed: Enzo's Last Ferrari - F40

This is my all times favorite Ferrari and this model is simply gorgeous!

It looks great on that base!

PS: I suppose it's the exact same type of base like the ones we saw in your cabinet! Having your signature on it is a nice touch!

Yeah, me too. I was actually quite surprised how good it looks in yellow.
Next is my MFH 512BB/LM, 166MM, BMW bike and a few others - take your pick!

I believe these are Euro mirrors. US version had different mirrors. But htey also had different bumpers and blinkers location + various different bits in the engine bay and emission equipment. Not sure about Monteshell version.

Yep, same base, same display case.

Thank you all! Glad you like it.
