Ferrari F40 Pics...Let me know when you`ve had too much

[Hawk312]

Here are some pics of my Fujimi Ferrari F40 that I built about 2 years ago. In my opinion, Fujimi`s version is much more accurate than the Tamiya version, which I have also built. I used testors gloss red for the finish. I didn`t prime the body first because I was worried I wouldnt be able to get full coverage under the rear spoiler. I sprayed four coats, waited for it to dry (about 2 weeks) and then sanded with 2000 sandpaper and finished it off polishing it out with nicsand 10,000 grit sanding gel. The interior and engine were well detailed, but you would never know since the model has no opening doors or hatches. Let me know what you think or if I am posting too many pictures.

Why? What's different?

Not a problem. :coolguy:

Probably the most noticable difference is the wheels and tires. Fujimi`s kits tires had a lower profile than the Tamiya`s. They are more convincing to me anyway than the Tamiyas.

Good question! I can barely remember building this model, but I am assuming I got impatient and cut corners and moved on to another project. Either that or I lost it to a decal casualty. It`s a shame, because otherwise it came out fairly decent. I would like to find another one and build a yellow version as well.

How about showing us the engine?

Unfortunately, the rear hatch doesnt open up, so the only way to see the engine, and only part of it at that, is through the glass in the back. Maybe I will try and see if I can pull it apart safely and take pics of the engine.
Thanks again for all the compliments everyone! :flash: :flash: :flash: :flash:

You just have to love Hawk's paint job on this F-40

Sweet, you can NEVER get enough of the F40... it's the ultimate Ferrari.

P.s. the F40 sports a "black belt' (black trim) all around the car which i don't see on the model... may make it look even better!

Excellent job.
