Nice work.

Super clean build. Gorgeous. Dig the location of the photoshoot, too.

this is...what should i say...got no idea

Beautiful work....only 'flaw' I see was made by Fujimi...those stinkin front license plate holes.:banghead:

Superclean job: amazing shine: some few details on the light set please? Your seem good. :)

Nice Work!

Very nice! The car looks excellent on its own but that background makes it look all the more excellent! :D

Super clean build! Nice Ferrari!

-Chris

Stunning!

Absolutely beautiful! Nice work.

Good job, looks so real. Nice background as well.

great work, paint looks super smooth and shiny

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Very nice job on this Maranello. The only minor thing is the window trim on the front and rear should be black on the inside edge too, all the way to the glass.

Other than that, this car is very nicely done

Thanks for the tip, I actually thought about that after the window was already glued in and I didn't want to take the time to take the window back out or mask it up. Maybe if I get bored one day I'll go back and touch that up. Good eyes though!

I agree with the others: extremely nice work!! The backdrop is pure smoothness!!:sunglasse

That is one clean build, impressive work... well done!

Yep, that's an AMAZING Maranello! Great build, I hope you will share more with us in the future.

Impressive work!!!, congratulations :)

My question is, could you tell us your paint process? that shine is amazing...

To keep it short, I prep, prime, paint, sand, polish, wax. Sometimes I'll use clear, depending on the paint. Thanks for the compliments!

Was the front end lowered at all?

Not at all.

wow this one is definately one of my favourite maranello's on AF. it looks flawless. welcome on AF, great entry you made!

i think i might just get a 575m to add after seeing this... though not a 550m... but hell they both look almost alike... nice job there :lol:

cool...hope you do it as good as your F430! the most obvious changes for a 575m are these:
*'hood'vent slightly bigger
*the 'black' bit in the headlights is now the same color as the bodywork
*rev counter is in the middle of all the counters(forgot how you call that thing lol)
*bigger engine
*different suspension
*575m badge lol

these are the most obvious ones.

Stinning finish you have achieved there. Photography is excellent too! :)

Beautiful work. That paint is stunning and I love the reflection it gives off the background.
