F2000/F2001 question

[Jester12]

Hi everyone,

I'm just wondering how much difference there is between the Ferrari F2000 and the F2001 Tamiya kits?

I have an F2001 and want to detail it. There's the SMS F2001 super detail kit, or there's a Top Studio F2000 super detail kit.
I think the Top Studio looks more comprehensive, but will most of the parts fit the F2001 kit?

Thanks,
Jesse.

hi Jesse,
the Top Studio detail-up set is awesome and I'm sure most of the parts would fit the F2001 kit!
I've built an F1-2000 with the deatil-up set and also built an F2001 without it. the 2 kits pretty similar, engine same, rear suspention same the fronts are a bit different, so some PE parts might not fit 100% but I think a little filing and sanding can help.

good luck! let us know how it went!
Cheers,
Tom

Thank you NewTom,

You're exactly the person I was looking for. Someone who's built both AND used the Top Studio set.
I was looking at getting the SMS PE and CF sets anyway, as I assumed that the PE parts wouldn't quite fit. It's more the mechanical parts, like the suspension, brakes and engine details I was interested in.

By the way, I just saw your builds of the Ferraris and they're fantastic. The half clear Williams is awesome.

Thank you very much,

Jesse.

those should be fine!

BTW I had the CF decal set too for the F2001 and I found the templates useless. they were all out of shape and way too big.... some might argue with me on this but I had to make new ones.
prehaps it was just me being amateurish.....
anyway, good luck again!

Thanks again Tom, for the info and the heads-up.

As they say, "Fore-warned is fore-armed," so I'll trace the shapes first and check what needs to be modified.

And I highly doubt that it was you being amateurish.

Thanks mate, much appreciated,

Jesse.
