They did it in 1/20, I figured this would be it.

They did the 2002 and 2004, all with engine detail including the 2003 in 1/20

A little disappointed but will get it

Have the F2000 (Matilde),2001 (MgModels-finished), 02 (Revell plus aftermarket), cars, crappy MgModels 04 (curbside) in process so welcome news , plus the F2007 and F2008 and F10

Now they have to do

I wonder if it's related to material limitations with resin used for body panels.
Could it be not strong enough to make parts thin enough to be true to scale.

No, that can't be it. They have done thinner undertray parts in 1:20...
And they've done bigger resin cowlings for sportscars.
And on the F2003GA the cowling is still not as tightly wrapped around the engine bay as nowadays.

I think they want to produce an 1/12 Ferrari, which is not "for experts only" to build as a beautiful model. They also did for instance the 1/12 FW16 Senna car as a curbside - simply to make it easy and fast for the non-expert to build the kit.
