Going to put a standard GT type racing wing on it. Ill have updated pictures soon progress has been hindered by summer school tests and studying for the DAT but i should have some up today or tomorrow. I also like the way it looks without the wing so much i think i will build my standard f50 that way i think the huge wing hides alot of the beautiful lines in the back. Looks more like a mclaren f1 or koininsegggorooonie like this.

Little update. Did all the carbon and kevlar underbody panels and heat shielding on the firewall etc. Also almost done with the wheels and tires just need a flat clear coat, used some old michelin decals from an old kit and used those tiny prancing horse metal transfers that come with the crazy modelers ferrari transfer kit. Pretty much done with the main portion of the engine, the pluming of the turbos is rather difficult. Finished the kevlar doors although i might darken them up with some smoke before clear coating. And finally gave the body a mist coat of flat black to see how things will look.

Hi.

Some cool project you got going.
That's some depressingly impressive work :frown:. I'm not a fan of the F50, but what you're doing to it, I really like. :grinyes:

One question:
I noticed on the pictures that the driver's seat has some kind of texture to it.
Was it that way OOB, or did you create this texture yourself ?
And if you created it yourself, how did you do it ?
Looks very convincing and real. I might try this myself sometime (if it's not too difficult to achieve :rolleyes:).

The seat is sprayed with a textured spray paint made by scale motorsport (same company that makes all the carbon decals). It sprays very clean and can be painted over like i did on the dash. They make it in red, black, and grey i think i have one of each. Its way easier than flocking and looks just as nice.

Wow, that has a lot of promise! It's looking really cool. The scoop on the rear looks a little big and not elegant in my eyes, but otherwise, it's looking to become a masterpiece. Your detail, paint, and CF work is stunning, and I am amazed at how well done your body is so far.

this is an interesting build, but I agree with will that the scoop is not flowing with the body. I would change the size and mainly the shape to better fit the feel of the Ferrari. love your work on the CF and turbos looking forward to the finished result.

Thanks for the compliments! But as for the scoop what would you guys suggest since ferrari doesnt really do the scoop. I was kinda going for the buggati veyron type intake just peeking over the roof. Example pics maybee of what you guys think you work better? Oh and im still adding the piping from the turbos to the intake which will be above the intake manifold.

Hello, nice job. I like specially the driver´s set; bu t I have a question about engine. It´s a twin turbo ??

Something perhaps a a little more elegant, the big quarter sphere just seems out of place. Something like what the Veyron has would be amazing, as would even a scoop like what you'd find on F1 cars or the JGTC NSXs, but I think the Veyron style scoops would be perfect, or even something like what TRD sold to mount on the last generation MR2.

Again, your work is amazing. I'm not trying to second guess you, just making suggestions on what I think will be an awesome model no matter what.

Ill try some other scoops out and see what i can come up with the rear lid is tha last to do on my list anyways.
