Hi
I start this project 2 weeks ago. There is my wip so far. I will update asap. Hope you will like it.





Two wite metal parts are original parts. I think it's not sharpen enough. So I redo those parts in copper.

Brakes are not sharpen enough, too. So I scratch built 4 brakes disks.

Paint the engine parts and gear box. This kit include clutch disk, I am so Surprised.

The Chassis hard work almost fix done.

This pin head looks so Orz...

Fix the pin head.

After I fixed this pin head. It looks better.



The photo shows what I do.

Some body let me put a coin into the photo. XD

Make some ants XD...

Add some scratch built parts on driving shift.

I use the BOSICA wheel trans kit, but the offset is not the same. So I have to fix that problem.

Solder the hub on rear suspension.


I use 0.1mm copper wire to make the break hose.

After I wash car body parts, some parts get rusty = =". So I have to palish some parts.

The front trunk cover does not fit.

After I modify the cover. It looks better

The kit did not include the joint of the front trunk. So I scratch built one.

Wow! I sveral times saw a kit of the Feeling43 250LM and heard it should be very difficult to build, but now I understand why.......most parts have to be modified and even machined over.....You did an impressive job! and I am very envious since the 250 LM is one of my al time favorites! Looking very good!

Very nice display...but I can't help but think if you had done the wire wheels as a dull aluminum [as they were] it would display much better on that base.

That's my only advice on a superb build!

I just did a 335S and when I designed the base I found little bricks at my local shop. I think they are just too cool!

I just noticed something...the rear "wing" section of the roof [normally] should be molded into the body....I see a join line. Is that correct for this version?
