    Below find a picture of the instructions, the part is D9.
    Also the end of the exhaust pipes are ending in nowhere, there seems to be no part for connection to the endpipes.
    Can anybody help?
    I even couldn´t find any contact (email, website) of APM24-mMaybe somebody can tell?
    (I´m not on social media).

    Hello Klaus, APM does not exits anymore.

    Have you already tried to fit the long side of this resin part (white arrows) into the bodyshell (black arrows) ?

    Ferrari 458GT2 AF Corse Le Mans 2001 - APM 1/24

    I would like to present my recently completed project, which I was asking for support earlier (see above) , the
    Ferrari 458GT2 AF Corse Le Mans winner 2001 - from AutoPlaceModels in 1/24.
    The kit I had was the presentation model, so I had to make some modifications or additions for the 2011 Le Mans version.
    The kit was very accurate, but had its problems.
    Especially the building instructions are very poor, for example how the brake system is composed you have to find out by yourself.
    For the part I was asking before I havn´t found out what it is for yet.
    I left it out, but somehow it is not missing.
    Cockpit and engine compartment were quite thinly detailed – anyhow, you don't see much of it when the model is assembled. But it was important to me, a lot of scratch and additional parts have been added.
    The aftermarket decals from Decaldoc were of very good quality, but the Tricolore didn't fit to the APM body. They were probably made for the Fujimi.
    But they were large enough, so that I could cut them into 3 parts and adjust them.
    Not perfect, but I am quite satisfied.

    Enough talking - now pictures.
    Hope you like it, have fun.

    On my bench currently:
    FIAT X1/9 Dallara at scale 1/24
    Based on a quite simple slot car body, everything else needs to be done from scratch or parts of other kits.
    I started this around 2011, put it back to the shelf in 2012.
    Now I digged it out again, still a long way to go...
    PS: General I limited myself to Ferrari at scale 1/24.
    Only exceptions: Lancia Stratos (not yet done) and Bertone X1/9- as this is my real fun car. Looking forward for spring!

    Haynes Machine Works 1:4 scale transparent working v-8,over 250 parts,a sohc v-8 with a flat-plane crank,$60 from California Car Cover. I had an enjoyable weekend putting this together. Includes assembling valves with springs,assembling the rocker-arm valve trains,assembling 2 cams with individual lobes,then timing the cams and installing the timing belt. Each bank has its own distributor which must also be timed. An electric motor makes it all "run",including "spark plugs" that fire at the appropriate times. Not as rewarding as building a real internal-combustion engine,but still fun. The instructions are not clear at times,but that won't be a problem for you because you already know how to deal with a Ferrari owner's manual.

    That picture is from a retailer's website,but no paint is involved so mine looks like that--except that I routed the ignition wires more neatly.

    What cars today come with a chrome-plated intake manifold? After some comments from friends (one said that the manifold looks like a pocket flask),I removed it and painted it semi-gloss black. Much better.

    Short update on the
    FIAT X1/9 Dallara project at scale 1/24.
    Finished chassics and cockpit master. Scratch building parts should be complete now, everything snaps together quite well.
    Second seat will be casted, when mold is available.
    Next step will be detailing the body (panel lines, door handles, windows, grilles, ...)
