WIP: 1/20 Tamiya Ferrari F60

[jaykay]

Nice and clean work.....on an ugly car :-)

The little thing on the front of the engine is the oil tank. Has been there for quite a while on Ferraris i think. IIRC they moved it on the F10 to save "lenght" with the bigger fuel tank.

Hello

Amazing work

One question: What do you think about Tamiya's effort on engine and gearbox? Is it real naked as it looks?

Thanks for sharing such a great build. Keep us updated

Best regards

You're putting a lot of effort in this build. And it shows. It's going to be great looking model
when finished. Great progress so far. One thing - I cannot see if you glued A5 and A6 parts on.
I've almost missed them in my build. Depending on camera configuration you choose, one of
both of them should be glued on before primer and paint, imho.

They do look rather under detailed. But then on photos of real car I have, there are only anti-roll bar,
third damper and rockers, I could see. Of course there are lots of cables and small details around that
engine. But with currently available references it would be impossible to make accurate model, imho.

Great work. !

All the time you're investing at the moment will certainly pay off with the finished model.

Yes, I glued them on. And it is a good tip for anyone building this kit, when I saw them on the sprue I had no idea where these tiny parts should go . You should also make sure that you glue part A4 on before painting which I accidently threw away but I was able to rescue it (which involved me rifle through a garbage can )

I can only agree with Sergey, the engine looks really basic especially the gearbox, 2 or 3 electronic boxes would have been nice. But nonetheless If you are brave enough you can add them yourself

i had to cut some green off my decals to make them fit the tamiya wheels: (5mm)

It looks good. I have same decal so I will try to use it.

I guess today everything is more camouflaged. Thanks for both replies!
keep the good work rolling!
