Would it be Acu Stion by any chance? If it is can you tell me where you bought the etched parts from because I can't find them anywhere . I also want the Acu Stion F50 etched parts.

If I remember rightly (I checked the box when I received the parcel, but my Mum has the kit now because I'm getting it for Christmas ) there are a long and a short pair of mirrors and you use either one or the other. I'm definitely going to use the short ones because I think the long ones would detract from the look of the car.


Here is a picture of the assembled Tamiya model, but it's difficult to tell if the wing mirrors are the same length or not.

Here are some good high quality pictures of the exterior if you don't already have these.

If you got it from Grand Prix Models, then they would have been the Acu Stion etched parts. They are not in stock at the moment and they don't list the F50 parts, so I will have to contact them when I have the money to pay for them.

Pleeeeeeeeaaaaaaase can we have pictures of the outside cause I'd love to know what the etched mesh looks like.

Hi Fooesboy,

Glad you made it to AF! Welcome!!!

Finally I get to see your F-40 and I have to say it looks stunning!!
Keep up the good work and keep the progress pics coming!

The thing about the mirrors:
Ferrari used a different pair on their first F-40 prototypes, but I don't know which ones where used on which. I don't know cause I don't have the kit. If you post a pic of the mirrors I might be able to tell you from the pics I have here.... Also their vertical openings in the rear wing were different from the prototype to the production car. (Proto had 4 openings whereas the production had 5).

Eat your heart out Ferrari lovers :finger: this is the Benz maniac who's helping out here...



Cheers,
Guido

First of all welcome to AF.
Superb work you are doing in that F40. I’ll be waiting to see the conclusion of this one and the progress of your future projects.

Thanks for all the kind works!

My cars really don't look very good, well I'm never happy with the result.


I tend to work on loads of different project at the same time, this F-40 has been put aside "to let the paint dry" (well that's my excuse)

After posting the pics and receiving all the comments I clear coated the body last night. I think it needs some more colour though I will give it a polish in about a week and decide then.

So please don't expect this car to be finished any time soon!

I asked Guido for some reference photos when I started........... Do you remember when that was Guido ??????? must be at least 6 months!


With everyone so interested, I guess I better hurry this one up!

There is no escaping over here! Once you get in, you get hooked... The number of models that I'm doing and the appetite for modeling has certainly gone up since I discovered AF
