Fun fact about the Bburago F40. Bburago is the only model maker to date to make the F40 Prototype. Note the 5 slots below the rear wing instead of 4. Note the different rear windowcompared to the 'production' F40. Also note the side mirrors of the Prototype (Bburago F40) 'sit' in the side windows and not on the doors. Which make these early Bburago F40 models rather special. Again you can use a black permanent marker to paint the b-pillars black. Make the engine strut black. Use a fine 0.4 marker to paint in the black stripe around the sides of the F40. A silver permanent marker is also very useful in refreshing the wheels, just push tyres out of the way. Would love to see you do that.
Yeah it’s exactly that what you’ve wrote, it’s funny how I realised it just a few weeks before! For me it was quite disappointing because I of course wanted to own the actual production model. Anyway if I close my eyes on it, it’s a very pleasing modelcar to own! P.s. I’m probably going to restore the rims in some way: I have to hit off the old paint and find a way to fix scratches and dents on plastic. After I can use chrome spray paint 😉
I’m not surprised! This model is actually pretty popular, especially in Europe. I know a lot of people who have one, or even multiple F40s in collection. Now I’m happy to own one too, and it doesn’t look bad, is it?
