Well, ok then! :D Thanks for making a new guy welcome!

Yes it is a Fujimi Enthusiast model, that I super detailed with all visible(and some not visible;) ) wires, hoses, belts, etc.

Here is the engine before I shoehorned it in the car.

Awesome, great colour too!
I did this kit too years back! paint finish was poor but I remember really enjoying the build! Lavish detail! Well done on 3rd!

There ya have it folks, the special edition Ferrari flywheel with Washington's head on it. :)

J/K :D the Dino looks great, I like the look of this classic Ferrari, looks like a Lotus europa!

P.S the name "Dino" reminds me of the dinosaur from the Flinstones :lol2:

Olivier, thanks so much for the detail compliment. I bought a Dino Marparts manual with drawings of all the different systems in the car and copied them as best I could. The fuel system detail is kinda lost under that air cleaner.:(

As for the next project, Im slowly working my way through the Fujimi Enthusiast serires as I have all 3 Dino versions, all 3 Daytona versions, almost all the 356 versions, and most of the 911s. I'm alternating between Ferrari and Porsche with the next in line being the 73 911 Carrera RS. My previous Porsche was a Fujimi/Testor's 356B Carrera Cabriolet, which I'll post up here as well soon.

Sorry you only reached third place.

Please do me a favor, show us your Porsche.
You'll make me very happy. :D

Only third place!? when will the madness end?
