    Hi there I am working on a 1/16 scale model of an F40.. and I am looking for some nice person who has some high quality engine shots so that I may use them for reference to replicate the parts in the model.

    This model is for a birthday gift for a gentleman who lives in sweden.I have about 14 weeks to complete the model, which is not a lot really. I would be ever so grateful if some nice owner could pm me or allow me to study their car photos.

    I have of course looked in the available sources online and have found most of the shots I require... It would be ideal if i could find a rebuilt Car in a series of photos.

    Here is some of the recent models I have built, All 1/24 scale.

    Traveller , I've found some very useful photos in your topic. Just need to find one of the mounting points on the gearbox end of the engine, where the engine mounts to the chassis.

    Thank you very much.

    Very very useful for the braided line routes, some of the mounting points and the placement of the bolts. It seems that the Car I'm building has a different back end... On the version I'm studying there is a mounting point on the end of the gearbox which is fastened to the chassis with some rods and a couple of fancy looking grommets which are acting like some kind of shock absorption.

    Maybe you can advise me from these pictures.. It would probably help in my search if i knew the names of the parts in question.

    This is a mockup of the Engine I'm working on.. Just primed.

    The section I'm referring to is this end piece.

    Ideally I'd like to map out the key fittings and translate them from the real car to the loosely accurate model.

    This was the result on an F50 I had spent 6 months on.
    It's not massively accurate but the key components are visible.

    Thank you for your assistance.
