Fantastic, you applied the CF decal and then trimed it down afterwards.. I thought you couldn't cut CF once it was applied.. How did you trim it down, amazing..!!

Looks great...

AWESOME!!

This is one of my Favorite Ferraris
Trully inspiring!!!
Great attention to detail

I have one question:
Do you have any reference about the fuel tanks?, as far as I remember they are black painted.
Any reference about those triangular bays in the underside?

Cheers!! and keep that great work!

Looking forward to it.

Re: In Progress: Tamiya Ferrari F40

Nice work on the oil filter. Did you use a mill to machine the little finger notches?

Thanks everyone!

GTmike400- Yeah, with a 1/16" diameter end mill. Cute little thing. I managed this and the waste gate without a rotary table!

D_LaMz- Waste gate is machined aluminum, too. Haven't yet decided if I'll paint it.

agamo- My references on the fuel cells are kind of sparse- I don't really have any pics of them, and they're not really visible in the car. There is a diagram of them in the owner's manual. The impression I've gotten is that they're made of pressed aluminum sheet welded together, filled with foam. But I could be wrong....

mickbench- As soon as the decal dried, I trimmed the corners with a sharp scalpel blade. I've frequently found it easier to cut CF decals a bit big, put them in place, and then carefully (and I do mean carefully!) trim them to shape with a really sharp blade.

blueboost- What am I, your dealer now? No worries, I'll keep it coming.

bkvj- Enjoy the F50! I did.
