 Cheers Guys

Its the Revell kit , Its ok but the fit is pretty bad due to warping

maybe I had a Duff kit , the door mirrors are to big show you have to chop off a bit off them

the rear lights are molded in clear red plastic

which is a headache as 2 of them are orange

as you can see I painted the chroethen went over in Tamiya clear orange

Result Bronze coloured lights

Dont spend a great deal of time on the Interior ,once its inside

you cant see much

But apart from that when the kits done it looks pretty good

My next mission is the 1/12 Ferrari Testarossa kit

So I dare say I'll be getting wound up building that one

u wud not have thz sought of problem with tamiya kits , their fit is PERFECT & anyway ur kit looks good even though u hate......e-mail dnaxpress76@yahoo.com

It actually don't apply to Tamiyas F-40 as the bonnet doesn't fit proprely and it's easiest to just glue it shut.

Please use proper language instead of this SMS-jibberish, the forum isn't limited you know!?

The build itself is very well executed, job well done so to say.

The Italeri is the old Protar and Revell is the old Monogram, both of them aren't good. But I think that the Protar was better, although when I saw 20 years ago I though...this is not for me LOL.

Sean I understand what you mean about the kit, and this shows us you have a lot of skill...and patience, Congrats!
