Finished it tonight. I will take better pictures later in the day. Had couple of problems, one being decals went missing after my clear coat. Don't know how they disappeared on me. Glue issues and fitting issues annoyed me a bit and paint issues in which I tried to fix couple of times. Overall, I'm happy with how this turned out and it's one of my best build so far.

I saw the build up. I think the silver suits the F40!

Nice model. You should paint the windshield surround with flat black. It's small details like this that make a difference, between a nice and a great model, in the end.

To be honest it looks a little rushed with, as mentioned, the window rubbers, but also some areas where unpainted or partially painted red plastic is showing through (edge and oil cooler area of the rear bumper, wheel wells, inside of the engine cover, etc) and also those proverbial ghost lines on the front hood bug me, but on the other hand I like the colour and I completely understand wanting to put the model on the shelf as soon as possible. It's just that I feel your the speed vs quality (or rather thoroughness) ratio should move somewhat towards quality. Not wanting to sound too critical, but I feel you're taking the same approach with your Countach. All that, of course, is just one man's opinion and I definitely see potential in your builds.

Thanks for the comments. I will take those in consideration next time. I didn't bother finish painting the oil cooler area since it won't be shown as much, but yeah, I did forget to paint the window trimming on the windshield so next time I'll watch for those, and to be honest, I did take some time on this build, just didn't look at all the little details thoroughly, but my countach, I will look at every detail to my abilities.
