Ferrari F50 Ref Pics

I'm working on the Tamiya F50 and using the new Crazy Modeler PE Set
and have been searching Google etc for some good pictures of the Interior and Engine bay without much luck.
Also been looking for other peoples builds here but on being 3 letters F50 it seems to find nothing, Can anyone help ?
The other question is which Scale Motorspot CF/Kevlar is best to use instead of the crap tamiya supplied ones to best represent the 1:1
Thanks

Promise us a WIP thread~~~:evillol: :icon16:

HTH Mike.

EDIT What carbon fiber will you be using Steve? I started mine a week ago and can't tell whose C/F to use, since you have all the sheets there what do you suggest?

I had no idea CM had done a set for the F50. Hopefully it's better than the wretched S27 set. :nono:

I did this one a couple of years ago, and wrote it up as best as I could. I used SMS carbon kevlar (gold dots on black). It looks decent- but pics I've seen of the F50 don't show alot of woven pattern on the composite parts. If I did it again, I might very well just spray everything in bronze, and then spray on a clear smoke over it.

Replacing the rear grille is definately a challenge. Even if the PE part fits, it's tedious demanding and difficult work to cut up the clear kit part. Be warned, the clear plastic frame will almost definately break on you at multiple points as you're gluing the PE mesh on- but be patient and don't loose the bits and it can be pieced back together.

The rear dampers could certainly stand to be replaced with turned parts. My thread shows what mine look like.

As for refernces, I did mine completely with online pics like what people posted above- some of those very pics, actually.

Good luck with it, I'll keep an eye out for your thread. If you need anything else, as ever just ask.

I am currently working on a racing f50 and chose to use the sms carbon kevlar like MPWR and it looks pretty darn good in my opinion. And yeah i searched the web for some good ref pics comming up pretty thin but the links above are sweet def help me out now with engine wiring had alot of trouble finding some good engine pics.

Thanks Guys, You are a great help :)

I only have few of the GF50 GT

maybe it can help

Does anyone know about or have a picture of the underside detail?
I don't know if the bottom is all CF or has a composite (plastic) cover.
I've been itching to get back to my giallo F50.

we need a wip thread!

Wow, I really want to take on a F50GT now! I studied the supplied pics here and it seems quite easy?!

Anyone achieved this yet with a stock F50?

"seems quite easy"...ROTFLMAO!

Mine's been on the workbench, on and off, for about 3 years now.

I just looked over it, looked like great progress. Have you just been too busy with other stuff? Looks like you are pretty much there.........

It's my "halo" project. I generally spend around 30 minutes a day refining the shape of the body...Still...About 3 years of refining the body shape so far...;-)>
