42212 Ferrari FXX K

Best looking one yet of its class! -
42207 Ferrari SF-24

Yeah 100% agree. Absolutely pales in comparison to the CADA F1 set imo -
[MOC] Ferrari LaFerrari 1:8

Looks amazing! Such a good looking MOC, probably my favorite 1:8 car of all time -

For sure, and those are two really good observations try and iterate on. I think the black bionicle tooth is supposed to be the extension of the light, but it’s too disjointed to actually look like it -

You hit the nail on the head with this post. I'm planning to try out something along these lines when I get the set, but unsure how realistic any of this is: Lower the headlights by 1 stud, figure out a way to fill the gap above (this will probably be the trickiest, unsure how practical it will be without significant mods) Add a long flexaxle (or combo w/ connectors) underneath the front edge of the hood line Add 2x1x2 wedge with a cut next to the round plate, replace both with white parts since the wedge doesn't come in trans clear Here is a very crude photoshop of what I want it to look like. I don't think its perfect but closer to the real car Before: After: -

Headlights look too big, but other than that I think it looks great. Some small mods should be able to round it out.. -

@kbalage when the set eventually comes out, it would be super awesome if you could do a side by side review with the CADA version edit - seems like I was mistaken and CADA never made an official set out of Bruno’s P1 -

Yeah this, that is very underwhelming -

I think they nailed the rear end, it looks fantastic! -
Porsche 911 (992) GT3 R

Agree with the second half (where there were probably other legal solutions that looked good), but disagree with the notion that the technique used in the door is actually somehow that concerning for the parts involved. That is such a shallow angle and is not a load bearing structure, damage to parts from that angle is a moot point. I think it comes down to principle more than anything. Oh the car looks great btw! Love the 992 911R
