Re: Tamiya Ferrari F40, not for the purists
It's getting better and better with every update. I think F40 is my favourite Ferrari but I'm not a purist and I like your version, maybe not sure about engine, but keep going anyway! Can't wait to see it finished!

Still in the primer stage. I'll be adding a splitter and canards to the front. As for colour, I am waiting for Khyzal's render to work to. I think we will be going with either German grey or medium-dark grey. |

Very cool! I did a Testarossa with some crazy mods a few years ago, this reminds me of how much fun that was! Ciao!
