Finally completed. Even though this is an out of the box build, it took me a year from start to finish. I used tamiya spray cans and paints, tamiya carbon fiber decals, tamiya photoetch parts, crazy modeler seatbelt hardware, and t2m black seatbelt adhesive cloth. I also built a little road scene for photos with sandpaper as the road and spray painted the markings. Here are some photos.

Beautiful looking model, very realistic. I would buy this kit today if I knew I would get it built and build it this nicely.

Thank you for all your kind words. I know it's far from perfect, but I did my best at the time. I think I can improve on the body finish and carbon fiber decal work next time It was difficult to finish because I didn't really like LaFerrari, the front-end just doesn't look pretty. My next kit will be very simple - Tamiya Porsche 935 "Martini", just want to complete something quick after this long project. I am hoping to get an airbrush in the near future. Anyone recommend a nice airbrush and an air compressor? I was thinking about getting a neo top feeder airbrush and a neo air compressor from Iwata. Are they any good? Thanks.
