Ferrari F189

this has been my "secret" project for the last 2 months or so. And it´s now completed to join the others in the "60 years of Ferrari".

It´s about 95% completed I would say.. still got some decals and some wiring to do. :)

mostly box stock. Added a cooler and the piping and some wiring. That´s about it.

Hope you like it :)

Beautiful job. Which brand of CF did you use?

Cool-looking race car. It looks nice, simple, and clean. Did you have fun building this car? Any fitting problems?

Very nice build.I really like the tyre markings you have added.Very good paintwork.The engine is impressive as well.

the CF is a homemade secret ;)

and yeah it was a really fun build and the only fitting-problem would be the body. It doesn´t fit very properly but it is not very noticeable. :)

Thanks for the comments !! :)

Beautiful works there! Will be better if we got lighter pics! Thanks for a great entry to the groupbuild!

Beautiful build. That thing looks great. nice work.

Looks good. The seams on the tires are distracting. My FW11 took forever to sand that seam out, but I think it will look much better.

By the way. It was your pictures inspiring me to take pictures with a little darker backdrop on the pics.. It does look amazing and brings more life to the pics. :)

Thank you! I'm glad I helped improve your photography! Your graduated backdrop looks great and really compliment the model! It's always nice to see completed models that have had clear, well lit pictures taken. :grinyes: I especially like the diagonal shots and the shots that are lower to the ground.

I see about the white stripe. I didn't notice the tire labels last night when I was looking at it. Very realistic.

Is that rear shot in this post a reference, or the model itself?

If thats the model, :eek2: Nice work!!!

That last pic is from the reference :) and I really like this F1. It would have been amazing seeing it race for real :)

Thanks for the comments !! :)
