This is my latest build, from the old Tamiya kit with the bad reputation. :? The F40 is probably the best supercar ever made and I want to have to my case.
The building process took almost a year (I didn't have much free time so it is a very slow build) and I add many details, especially in the engine. The rear hood fit problem is here, after so much work to solve it. If I make some extra pressure the result is better, but I don't want to risk anything. So here the result...

In fact I build it with her stronger competitor, the well known 959. The class of Titans, in 80's :wink:
