Ferrari F40 Tamiya

Hello again,
I show you here and old beginned WIP of Tamiya F40.
I always loved that car. I still have a S27 kit of the "Igol" Race F40.
I started detailling a little bit the engine, with differents nuts and bolts.

I then began to "wire" the engine.

I worked a little bit on the body by removing the plastic meshes everywhere and opened the closed louvers.

I also detailled the nuts on the wheels by drilling them and inserting an home made stopper.

and finally two views of the almost finished car.
Need to paint the black line inthe medium of the body, put the rearview mirrors and the "whipper" (is that the right name for essuie glace?)

I see the pictures just fine (and I'm even on my work internet connection :naughty: )

The kit looks good Jamme, is it really as orange as it appears or is that a trick of the light?

Hello and thank you.
No, its painted "Rosso Corsa" and the Orange shine is an unwanted trick of the light.

I love the weathering on the wheels and valve covers, looks good

Very nice work!!! Leave the back open to show off the details! :)

Looks awesome. I think the word you were looking for is "wiper" as in windshield wipers?

Hello and thank you all.
On what car do you mean?
On the 512S?
If it is that car, it is glued in place with 5min Epoxy as the customer did'nt want to open it.
Otherwise can you be more precise, please?
Thanks,

Jamme

THe F40, the fit of the rear hood isnt too good.

Great car!I love the F40!:)
