Regia Aeronautica Ferrari F40

[fredk]

Ok, so I'm gonna go with it, as I cant think of anything else to do.
A Ferrari F40 in sand and smoke rings as seen on Regia Aeronautica aeroplanes in WW2.
The victim kit; one of Mongrams finest;


There is also a frame of the 'glass' pieces but I left them in the plastic bag to keep them safe.
If I feel brave I may attempt to tint the windows.

Good choice, Fred. Glad you are going with it!

[Sissel]

Yep, glad to see you going with your first idea.

[Narayan]

Good stuff Fred, look forward to seeing it.

Great Fezza Fred. Are you painting the smoke rings or using decals?

[Miss-Stang]

That should look great Fred! Looking forward to seeing it

I'll try painting them. It'd take me just as long to draw them up on the computer for printing out then applying them.

Looking forward to seeing this one.

That's a very suitable combination of car and colour scheme, I like your thinking!

Definitely the nicest looking Ferraris of recent years (87-92, does that still count as recent?). Should suit the cosen scheme admirably.

It does in my book! Anything made after 1979 I consider a 'Recent' car! I obviously spend far too much time messing with old ones....

Looking forward to seeing this one progressing.

A little bit done on this; interior and engine done up;

And the body shell sprayed Humbrol 93;


Earlier I discovered that the rear wing/aerofoil is missing, so I'll have to fabricate something. Or just stick two big somethings in those holes at the rear of the bodyshell,

Fantastic painting of the interior and engine, superb!

A couple of discreet and hastily fabricated tail fins would be my suggestion!

The engine and interior look great.
