Body: Herpa plastic static 'display model'
Chassis: SCX Tuner
Finally found a suitable Ferrari F40 for a build. :D
Plastic body on a cast chassis. Only had to make 2 cuts during disassembly. Was able to use the SCX Tuner rear axle without any shortening. The front was cut down about 2mm. Swapped out the Tuner's wheels for SCX NASCAR.

Really nice conversion.
I'm not familiar with Herpa. Where did you get it?

Thanks everyone!
Chuck-looking forward to pics!
Greg-got off the ebay. Prices seem to vary greatly....saw 10 models go for $52 the other day but others listed for $40+ for 1 model. Don't know if the others are convertable either.

Good eye, Stig. Although, they never raced and our out of production already. That one showed up just before the end of the show.
