This is a great body, Comes with mask, overspray film, many decals of which are quite detailed. The body mold is nice too minues the wing bumps. The lexan is quite strong too. One of the bad things is the rear wing which is simply a flat piece of lexan, and it only comes with one side plate. The rear wheelwellls has no mold, but this is good for failsafe accuracy, and good for any chassis, although it takes some time to do the measuring, tracing, cutting, dremel etc. The overall design is quite plain, which gives so much room for nice details for the typical concourseman. Im suprised I rarely see anyone with this body! I give this body a 8.5/10!

your's is the first i have seen posted but yet to see one posted that is painted. I backordered my f-50 about 10 months ago and received the body about 2 monthes ago .I have not got around to painting much less choosing a paint scheme. Looking forward to seeing your's painted. Just wish they had either realistic wing that comes on the ferrari f-50. Good luck.

its been out for the longest time! Its only $19.99!! +6.99 shipping ( I don't know of any LHS that carries the F50 GT)

Search : Ferrari F50
They come in both 190mm and 200mm sizes!! (mine happens to be 190, but I managed to fit in on my 200mm E-Rally because I put some skinny rims.
The realistic wing would be easy to make. Castrol Supra wing + styrene! ( for the pedestals) I tried it and it looks perfect.

I think this body is based on the F50 GT. It doesn't have the factory rear wing. Instead it has an adjustable rear wing.

Rumors have it that an Enzo GT is in development! Supposed to race in LeMans?
