A car that was supposed to be the successor to the legendary F40, but in the end, it fell a little flat. The Ferrari F50 was meant to carry Ferrari’s legacy forward, but instead, it disappointed many with its shrieking engine too loud for comfort and a design that didn’t quite live up to its predecessor’s glory. Still, it’s one of the most iconic Ferraris, a true symbol of automotive ambition.
This Ferrari F50 marks my first leap into modelling, and while it’s far from perfect, I’m proud of how it’s come together. There are places where it’s clear I’m still learning, but compared to other first-time builds, I feel it holds up well. One of the standout modifications is the custom bonnet, cut open to reveal details that would otherwise remain hidden in the kit. It’s not perfect, but for a first, it’s a solid start.

Peter HardyPeter this is an astonishing effort! I was SO sceptical when you embarked on this your first build with a plan to add detail to this level. You have done so much with so many different challenges I doffs me lid to yer. And to cut your first model in half to display that detail. I'm not sure I would even attempt that myself! Much encouragement from me and I look forward to seeing it displayed! Well done mate, well done!
Peter MuldoonThank you Peter! I would never have done something like this if it weren't for my admiration of your builds and the encouragement I received from you, and for that I am greatly appreciative. There were some good and bad choices made along the way with this model, each with it's own lesson. This particular model was difficult for a first attempt at the hobby and there were times when I wondered if it would look better lodged forcefully into a wall, but persistence and the ensuing rewards that continued to come from doing it got me there in the end. This has been such an enjoyable and therapeutic hobby for me. I look forward to building more and more and increasing my skillset, as well as the bonding we will enjoy along the way.
