First things first, I’m the realest I’m back from Italy! I actually arrived yesterday... but whatever.

So I bought this Ferrari F40 at the Ferrari Store in Milan for 85€ (76€ after tax rebate). Good deal, right? By the way, I need to get a better photo setup than my iPhone and a poster board.

Here’s the engine. Very well detailed; in my opinion a work of art itself.

Hubcaps to match the timeless F40 wheel design.

Adjustable, bolstered and detailed seats.

And a suggestion from Alex B., the Hoodrari ™.

The build took me 3 hours and was very fun. I recommend this build for any Ferrari lover that's a child at heart!

If you have a white bathtub, you can use that as a background.

Let’s see here: I’m a Ferrari lover, child at heart, and my favorite car happens to be the F40. Maybe I should get one!

OH WAIT I ALREADY HAVE

I just haven’t gotten around to an Oppo post.

But do you have RC Enzo and 1/18 LaF? I'll do all 3 in one article.

It only works for small stuff.

I just finished mine about 5 minutes ago. I spread it out over three days, though. I’ll be posting my own pictures soon.

It was a fun build. I love how you’ll be building along, and place a piece, like a hinge, that won’t be needed for 15 more steps and as part of different major sub-assembly. The only thing I’m not crazy about is the bracing pole for the engine cover. It seems like sort of an afterthought. But I love the weight of it and the detail. The flip-up headlights are da bomb. Now, on to the latest Ferrari F1 transporter I got for my birthday back in November....

lol cool!

I spent around 30 minutes last night, and 2 hours and 30 minutes today. Then I played with it.

I did make one tiny mod to the engine by adding two dark gray studs (didn’t take time to look for red ones) behind the red studs, ahead of what I presume are the air cleaners. It makes the elements line up better.

cool! any other mods?

I put a rear-view mirror. Meaning that I took a 1 X 2 piece and attached it to the roof.

No, that’s the only one. I like you rear view mirror idea, though.

Search LaLD for making your own lightbox. Philipilihp made one out of an empty Pampers box

I just got mine on Wednesday! It is an awesome kit.

That kit is pretty great. I’ve been thinking of either the VW van or mini as my next large kit.
