Hi guys!

The starting kit is the Tamiya kit.

First of all i start to work on the rear panel, tail-lights and a new plate made with Tauro Model decals

See ya!

Nice progress.The seats and dashboard look great.

Comming along very nicely Ricky. Must be good to have a change from rally cars.

nice subject. It really looks like your moving along on this and its coming out quite clean. Keep up the good work

Really a good start Ricky, great interiors. I'll see some kevlar on the chassis: F40 is really magic! And.. look at gear's shift lever: it's really oversize: just a bit thing but you'll improove quickly ;)

Very nice work,i like the painting.

Thanks guys.

looking good!

Very clean and crisp looking build, you're doing a great job so far.

It's a shame that some of the mold lines are still visible; you're doing a cracking job on the painting and it seems a shame that you missed some of them.

Looking very very nice!:grinyes:
The interior and engine are nicely detailed. I know the instructions say to paint the sides of the intake manifold gloss black but i think they look better silver. Is that possibly an error in the instructions?

Yes, i have this kit on the backburner. You've given me some inspiration. I just don't want to stuff it up, the F40 is a legendary car.

Keep the progress going, i want to see what this looks like all together:p:iceslolan

looks good, cant aiwt to see it done

Here I am guys...
here are the pics of the f40 finished!

No comments guys?? :evillol:

come on tell what u think of it! :grinyes:

Bye!

Hey great stuff! Really like the interior.
Are the wing mirrors painted? I ask because they seem to be a lighter colour than the rest of the body.

Hi Rallyraider.
Yes the mirrors are painted.... but i don't use primer on it... i forgot it... and the result is that the colour is a little bit different... u are right...

i am looking your carrera gt ... great... i got it on the stockpile waiting to be assembled! i will look your wip closely!

Thanks
Bye
Ricky :smokin:

amazing build. love what you've done to the engine!
