The F1M Forums

Has been a long time since last post but thought to close the cycle and post a final update. I finally took the time to finish the Ferrari a few months ago. The model made gold and best automobile at local IPMS nationals. Sorry for the small pictures but I can't do more at the moment with the KB lim...

Cheers
