Done a really nice job here. Well done. The digital decal looks sharp, like it.
Will the wheels go any tighter to the brake shroud, gap looks a bit too big?

Thanks Davey! On the last picture the wheels were not inserted all the way through, you're right the gap is big if compared to the first few photos. The reason for that is that the wheelnut is too thick and not easy to insert, I probably was afraid to break suspension arms if pushing too hard. But yes, normally the wheels are fixed tighter to the brake shroud.

Looks good. I see you have also wired & plumb the engine bay.

That's good. A little bit of caution when dealing with fragile suspension arms is always good.Corpsegrinder wrote: ↑Thu Sep 28, 2023 6:36 pmThanks Davey!

Came out really nice. Nice attention to detail. Like the way you handled the cowling intakes.

Very nice clan build. I haven't ever built a Fujimi kit and not really considered it honestly. May just have to reconsider.
Enjoyed seeing your work!

Thanks!
So far the Fujimi kits I have put my hands on were very nice, McLaren MP4/5 and this Ferrari were awesome to build. The McLaren MP4/6 from Fujimi though was another kettle of fish, I think that's probably the worst ever kit in the history of static modeling.

No way, what was wrong with it? I built it full detail and found it to be a lovely build.Corpsegrinder wrote: ↑Fri Sep 29, 2023 1:22 pmThanks!
