F-40

Hello all! This is my new project, ferrari f40. It is gonna be box-stock with studio 27 photo etched. Trying out a new colour for the ferrari, green ! Bet no one ever seen a green ferrari before. :smokin:

Damn man! It looks poisonous! Keep up that "crazy" color-scheme.

Woh nice goin to be sweet.. I got a few cars pland but I need an airbrush...

That's a very original colour for a Ferrari, I have to agree..eheheh

That was my very first model I ever built, but I have a couple of pointers for you to watch out:
-The engine lid sits very oddly, it needs a bit of sanding to sit properly on the body;
-The exhaust does not align too well in the opening. The exits need a little tweaking to center properly.
-A part of the rear side windows needs to be painted body-colour, so it gets a little tricky to get them looking realistic.

I'd do a search around AF for more pointers, or visit Alex Kustov's web site (http://italianhorses.net).

Have fun, and keep us posted! :)

Best Regards,
Pedro.

CADGuy built a Dark Green F355 a while back.

Looks very nice, good luck.

Actually, it reminds me of the David Piper 250LM. Definitely cool. :biggrin:

Edited out

i should hope you have never had something that glowing green come out your ass...if that is the case please see a docter immediatly...something is probably very very wrong...

I think this punk should be banned right away! There's other forums for your filth, and this isn't the place. W**ker

Well I don't think he will be here for a while

Got'em.

Got'em.
tonio your gettin faster! :lol: This looks good i like the green alot!

Got'em.
You work to fast for me!!

I think it looks great in green for a change

:iagree: It makes a pleasant change from seeing red Ferrari's all the time. Nice work :)

I really like it alot. It adds a bit of change to the standard colors that people do, like red, black, and white. Its refreshing to see someone go with what they like, and not follow the crowd. I eagerly look forward to seeing more and more updates on this one. keep up the good work!

Very interesting color.
I'm curious to how this will look on a street version of this car. I could definately picture it as a racer in that color.

I look forward to watching this one progress.

Thank you for the kind comments so far. I actually did a photoshop on a modena with the same colour and it turned out pretty good. So hopefully no major problems on this model! =>

Looks great so far. I like the green color on it.
I'm currently building the same kit but painting it black.

Hello guys...school's been rather busy...so just some minor updates.

I think the green looks great. Good to have something other than red or yellow on a ferrari.

Looks good so far...
What brand/shade of green is that?
I'm in a "mint" green mood for a future project.
:p

I never thought I would say this about this shade of green, but it looks surprisingly classy! With the panel lines done, it has a minty-cool aura about it... Very nice work!

Looks good! nice to se some thing diferent.
