Hi,
this is my F40 build of the Centauria partwork kit. Nearly every part has been rebuilt. This whole projct took me one year and a half.
I hope you like it.

all the best,
Bodo

THAT is phenomenal work; it could pass for an Amalgam release, even better! Did you have to repaint the body as well, the paint looks perfect! Unfortunately this model isn't available any longer; one I missed out on not being avail here in the US.

Amazing! And perfectly photographed!
Did you also worked on body parts and repainted the whole car?

Yes, all body parts have been stripped of paint then all imperfections on these parts were eliminated by filing, puttying and sanding. Then they got a layer of primer. After sanding this some layers of 2K automotive paint were applied. I let them dry for three weeks before sanding and polishing. The original paint job had some flaws….
