1/8th Ferrari F40LM

Post by daves »

I have been looking for this monster kit for a couple of years. It was never available in the USA. Thank to my friend Sean Main, I was able to purchase a complete kit from a vender in Poland.
Everything was sent except for two front wheel screws which Sean provided. It all went together well and all of the colors matched. The smaller F40 is a 1/12th Monogram I built many years ago.

Beautiful work, David. I am always happy to help. I’ve just started some of the detail work on mine. Still can’t find those 5 missing packs. Still debating whether or not to decal it.

What’s on deck?

Beautiful car Dave.
Well done. If this was mine i would go for a more "raced" one.
But just obb it's still a beauty.

Dave, your LM looks excellent!!
Boy, this is tempting, especially considering the oob Pocher F40 I have is such a POS. And anyway, of all the road cars there are, this is my holy grail. You're only allowed to drive one car, money is no object? THIS car for me.
Cheers,
Roman

I’d get this for sure, if there is a way without adding ridiculous premium

Hi Dave,

What a beautiful F40!
The paint job is top notch. I would think it takes a while to polish so big a car.
The Monogram F40 looks a bit boxy in comparison. May be it is the distortion created by the camera. The front end looks a bit too square.
