    Wow!! What a collection man!! What display cases are those btw?

    They are great also, I assume the light is above the top model? Or there are 2x lights above each model?

    Thanks for sharing, they are all awesome.

    Thank you. I'm glad you like them. The cases are custom built. Because of my limited space, I designed them to be double stacked. Each unit has two dedicated display boxes. Within each box, there is an LED ambient light box above the car with a remote dimmer. The light units are then covered with a frosted cover to disperse the light evenly. These images have the light at 100%.

    Good morning. That's an amazing car. You should be very proud. Yes, Im looking forward to completing the set with the F50. I'm told it will be released very soon. I'm glad they used your car because that's precisely the spec I will want.

    These models looks like real cars! Also carpet on your room somewhat looks like "Namako wall" of traditional treasury vaults in Japan and looks very tasteful

    Congrats on the colection and display, very classy and clean..really beautifull
    Ps: Just out of curiosity, why did you choose the f40 american version? The original is much cleaner and nicer, but of course, still a very nice model.

    Thank you. I actually prefer the US F40. But everyone will have a different opinion. I'll post more photos when I have the chance.
