thanks 4 viewing.

man, i always enjoy your builds. the 180, the impreza now this. can hardly wait for the next update.

WOW, looks great, clean work



Mike

I'm not a big fan of the F50 but i REALLY like what your doing here!! keep it up!

That's a cool conversion, waiting for the progress pics for sure!

Awesome work so far, great mods everything looks very well executed.
MSM Creation do a F50 GT Transkit, thats ok quality. Not sure its worth the $..
I had a similar mishap with the rear mesh, but I was lucky enough not to break both sides at the same time, very fragile.
Cant wait to see more, are you making this a curbside build?

Great start... i enjoy all of your cars...

Coolness!
Are you going to paint it yellow? (lol)

Wow! Great work! I've got a F50GT transkit myself, but the workmanship you've put into your custom job looks even more fantastic. :iceslolan

I can't say much more but WOW!

Great work...
I am looking forward to do this...
Thanks for sharing

Looks great so far, good to see someone building a model of this legendary car.

Great modification!! keep it coming!

Which putty or sealer are you using?

I like it!

Thanks guys 4 the comments :) appreciate it.

for the pass 5 days only manage to assemble CrazyModeller PE brake set, very slow progress and i think not worth to show it yet. Now trying to do the door panels and dashboard.

da_ashman : there will be the interior and try to replicate the actual GT engine, hope going well. :)
Ferrari TR : I think it's going to be red.

agamo: Now I'm using "Bondite". I've tried a few epoxy putty (Tamiya, Hardex and Selleys) and i think this is the best so far.

Thanks, will post the update when i've done with the dashboard and door panels.
