Excellent.

I hadn't realised that I left the underside so badly finished. Sorry about that!

Please - it is awesome

It needs cleaning up, but until I actually had the front engine mounted, running and rear gears meshing, and then fitted into the propshaft tunnel you made, I am not doing any tidy up   

Wait and see my friend!!

So ..... whats next though

Good question!

I'm a bit worried that I've now made three Ferraris. Yours and two Spazzaneves, one of each scale. I have never really understood the attraction, I mean, they're just cars, y'know! I prefer Alfas or Maseratis.

As I usually only make cars for particular race meetings these days, it's a while since I've just made what I fancy. I've done the Chaparral bit which was the only make that appealed for doing the entire range (still a couple that I missed) so there aren't many cars left that really float my boat that aren't readily available.

Just noticed you said decals! What are you going to add? I've never seen any photos with anything other than the two badges.

Ah...correction, they added some when Phil Hill drove it in modern-ish times!

Yup but then again, it's your car and only your opinion matters
