A good few months ago I put it to a vote between the Ferrari and the Flanker for my next build. The Sukhoi won the vote, but only just... So as promised for my next build, a hyper car that the boys in Italy were so proud of they just simply named it, The Ferrari !
I'll save all the technical specs for the final article and just concentrate on the kit and the build here in the WIP. But I can tell you now that it is a feat of automotive engineering that I am really excited by. In a nut shell, the boffins at Ferrari put all of their F1 technology into a road car, and came up with this.
I read the build review in Tamiya magazine when the kit was first released and bought it straight away. It was described as Tamiya's best car kit to date. Their other car kits are pretty impressive, so I'm thinking I am in for a treat here! I splashed out on some aftermarket goodies as well to enhance it, so this is not going to be a quick build.
Tamiya released the carbon fibre decals as an aftermarket option and it would be a crime not to utilise them. I also purchased a Hobby Design detail up, resin and photo etch set to go with. On closer inspection I feel that there is a few PE pieces that are going a bit over board so I probably wont use them all. I think you can sometimes spoil the end result by battling to remove a kit piece then replace it with a 'hard to work with' piece of photo etch. Well I can anyway...
