SpeedMonkey Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 (edited) While doing this build, I found myself either humming or singing the Italian National Anthem and the Toreador song. I guess seeing the Ferrari Red (Rosso Corsa) and the Prancing Horse brings out the tifosi in most motorsport fans. The Ferrari F2001 was a highly successful Formula One car that the Ferrari team competed with for the 2001 Formula One season. This car gave Ferrari its 11th Constructor's Championship and Michael Schumacher's 4th Formula 1 Championship. 20 years ago, my brothers and I would be glued to the TV on Sunday evenings watching this car race. It was a really dominant car taking 10 wins (9 from Schumacher), 13 pole positions, 3 fastest laps and 197 points throughout its lifespan. As for the build, had a bit of a hard time with this one. Had to do a lot of touch ups and the Carbon Fiber Decals were such a pain. Was almost tempted to give it a weathered look to hide my errors, but I was eventually highly satisfied with the end look.

Spiny Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Well it's certainly worked for on the finish - that's a lovely looking model. Not to mention some excellent photogrpahy as well - very good use of the black infinity curve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping to build a collection like yours as well. On 3/7/2021 at 5:31 AM, desert falcon said: That's an amazing looking Ferrari 😍 Thanks!

Harry Callahan Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Thats a great model, it looks fantastic. I was also glued to the screen as Michael brought in one win after another, i can remember the weather outside 28 degrees, sunshine, my ex-girlfriend want walking in the park, but i wanted watch the Race in TV, and i got a hard fight with her..........she just couldn't understand me.

HoolioPaulio Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Amazing work, looks immaculate. I'm currently trying to source an F1 kit of some sort, anything 1994 onwards which is when I really began watching it with my dad, and when I do I hope it looks half as good as this.

Kodiopa Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 That's so cool...! It's such a nice quality that I want to steal. 🤩 I wasn't really interested in this kit, but after seeing your work, I wanted to buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadMax8 Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Wow, great build and presentation. I can’t find any of the issues you mentioned, it should look nice in your display! I too remember watching that season on F1, those were remarkable cars! I have an F2000 to build, do you mind me asking where you sourced the Marlboro decals?

We dont get a lot of option parts/decals from where I'm from. Had to buy the decals online from a Korean Site. http://detailshop.co.kr/us/main/index.php Owner of the store is very helpful and accommodating. Emailed him numerous times. And yes, he can speak english. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapam Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Beautiful! The kind of glass-smooth finish I've long aspired to (but never quite achieved). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
