Kits in this size are not on my taste BUT your small Ferrari F 2008 is really well done and beautiiful! Congratulations!
These cars are the last beautiful F1 racecars, the 2009 versions are ugly ugly ugly!

Awesome! That RedBull is one sweet looking ride. Compared to 1/43, it is a giant!

Ferrari Red looks accurate as well. Nice job, and I like the $20 bill too.

Very nice job

I agree with all the above except I'd prefer a 100$ bill

Beautiful result. Exceptionally done!

I'm still wondering how you manage to build such beauties in such a small scale.
I'm having troubles with 1/24 ones being to small sometimes!

they aren't that bad, I'll be getting the F60 once its produced, and I would like to build the RBR5, if the front and rear wings were like the 2008 spec, I wouldn't mind them, but we all have to live with it now, hopefully the racing will be just as good.

The 2009 cars are generally much better than what we got after 2003 in F1.
The lack of aero appendices allows us to see the beautiful flowing lines of the single seaters.

Could not agree more! At first I thought that they looked weird, but I knew I would get used to them. And as you said, without all those ugly winglets they look very very beautiful, kinda like a classic F1 car should look like in my opinion.

great job!

[Spike2933]

instead of starting a new thread, I thought I'd show you my lastest F2008 build, its the French GP version, and my amateur skills come to play, I'm just happy to get it done. next to it is the European GP version, (old aero, vs new aero)

hope you enjoy them anyway
