Tamiya Ferrari F40

Here's another model I completed recently. The picture quality is not that great because I had my camera on the wrong setting and didn't realize it until too late.......

Why I ever decided to paint this car black is beyond me. It was pure torture to polish it. The light reflection you see on the panel edges etc... are not primer showing through it's just a reflection.

This was built out of the box and makes a decent kit but to make it great it could use more detail, especially seatbelts. But it's still a decent shelf model.

Hey,

Nice n clean! You should get the pe set. It helps on the windows. The breaks and wheel locks are great too. If you want it more detailed. Any engine shots? Looks great! Keep up the awsome work.

Looks real sleek in black!

Thanks everyone, this is a kit I would like to build again someday. A different color, more detail....

Oh well, add it to the list, I'll get around to it someday.

My favourite Ferrari of all time, and yeah, black is a real pain in the arse to polish, sigh.... great mirror finish, and black makes a nice alternative to the usual Rosso Corsa :-) Good job

The F40 looks good in black. Good work!

I like the black. What model did you win a top 15 in Bham with?

Thanks Ken..

LOL.... I didn't win anything in B'ham..... just not good enough I guess.

Looks great in black. Very clean, and nice work on the finish.

Another great build from you! Looks soo slick, thats an awesome model:)

Not good enough? You must be kidding.

I thought you did win something, sorry for my mistake.

nah, no apologies necessary, I had a great time but we missed you there. It made my day to land a sweet deal on a sealed 1/12th Tamiya Martini Porsche 935 Turbo for $65 even, since there's no shipping.

Good price. I just bought a new reissue for $94, shipping and everything.
