I’ve had this set for a while. Finally sitting down to build it. Will build and report.

I love Ferrari, and I love Lego, but this build was tiny sticker HELL.

I suck at stickers.

I attach the piece to a larger lego, and then use tweezers to apply the sticker. It’s always easier to do the stickers before the pieces are on the model.

I use a dental pick for the stickers. The very thin sliver of metal gives you a lot more control than you’d imagine and when you pull the pick back it slides out super easy and leaves no bubbles

I never have problems with bubbles, and I obsess over getting the stickers centered and straight. They can make or break the model. My tweezers are medical tweezers, and are very thin and sharp. They work great.

Is the F40 kit now the official Oppo kit?

Why not? It was a great build.
