This is the Tamiya kit built box stock, painted with Tamiya TS8 and unpolished because the real F40's have a rough finish due to the kevlar weave pattern underneath the paint.
I used a .005 black pen to color in the 'belt'.
This is a joint build between my nephew and I, he started the kit years ago as I was teaching him how to build, then he moved away and no longer had time to finish it. He had assembled the chassis/engine and most of the interior, I painted the body and finished it.

interesting remark you made about your polishing policy.I have seen many red F40's in real life and the paint never struck me as being particularly different. I am almost sure that if you scale up a 1/24 non polished paint to 1/1 you'll get something pretty rough. Recently I did the red Modena and sprayed TS8 sraight on the (cleaned) bodywork, and then only very little polishing was needed. Can't remember how long ago I did the same F40 kit, but at that I found the quality of the plastic good enough just to refrain from painting at all. Would never do that again though.
