Wabie, Just bought the LaFerrari. Keep up the good work with the official build. I'm going to need it as I don't read German. Or is there an English version of the instructions? I've built the Senna McLaren and am currently building the Ford GT40. Looking forward to building the LaFerrari. David

But if you have any questions or need support, please write it here in English, that shouldn't be a problem. AndreasAlle Berichte sowie alle Fotos unterliegen dem Urheberrecht.

Thank you for your support. I'm probably going to need it. What concerns me here in the US, is the declining interest in model building. Model stores are going out of business because the younger people here just don't want to do it. David

There are hardly any accessories left. But is due to the situation. We're getting an even tougher lockdown now, with a curfew. So people sit at home and want to do something.

That's great news that modeling interest is alive and well in Europe. I wonder if our problem here in the States is the "me" generation. There are a lot of parents who give their kids anything on demand. The children are not taught to "work" for something. Kids here are given "participation" trophies just for showing up. They want instant gratification. You can't just open a model box and expect it to be built in 2 1/2 hours. You take days, even months, to assemble one. It took me almost 3 years to build the Model Space Senna McLaren, but every time I look at it now, I appreciate it even more. I was helping my nephew at a model car racing event. He lost in one of the races. I said let's go home and make the car better for next year. I wasn't allowed to leave until he got his participation trophy. I was ready to explode but didn't want to embarrass my nephew. In my old age I've learned to "accept" today's world, but I don't have to like it. David

Hi David, the interest in model making is also due to our situation. We have a lockdown here until February 15th. Federal states have a curfew. The schools are closed. The children suffer. Are not allowed to meet friends, and otherwise not be outside and play with friends. So people buy something to keep themselves and their children busy. I also think it's a good way to get through the difficult times we have and hope it will get better around the world as soon as possible.

I think your visual build is going to be a God send for me. With you showing what the bags and blister packs look like for Pack 1 and so on is very helpful. I have gotten the whole model all at once, with everything in a big box. Nothing is categorized as Pack 1, 2, 3 and so on. It's just a big box with all the individual bags tossed in. I will take the next week or so, looking at what you show as the first bag or blister pack and so on, will help me. I'll take a Sharpie felt tip pen, find the first bag, label it 1, then on to 2, etc. Once I get everything in proper order then I can start. The fun part is to label all the screws correctly. Dave

Hi Dave, nice that it worked out. The construction reports from Wabie (Stefan) will help you a lot. But I have sent you a WeTransfer with all the building instructions 1-12 from the LaFerrari for download on your private e-mail address. They're in German, but you should be able to do it with google.

Andreas, Thanks for the files. I did get a flash drive with the whole kit and their instructions are in Russian. But as you know, "Real men don't need instructions"  When you've been doing models for over 65 years, you really don't need instructions, only pictures of what to do. Dave

Dave Hi Dave but only one information that is not explained anywhere in the pictures. The motors of the doors is a very big problem case. Very, very many users made mistakes here, and the end was that the doors did not work,and the Door motors were faulty. When you are ready and the doors are hanging in the frame, then you absolutely have to stick them to the frame with adhesive tape. You absolutely have to be. Then you hang up the motors. They are already set to zero at the factory. Then you test the doors. If the doors work, stick them back on with tape until the car is completely assembled. You will turn the car over and over a few times. I only say it because when the gears on the motors are worn out, you will find it difficult to get new ones. There are two different motors for left and right, this depends on the installation angle. As I said, that is a focus of the model.

Thanks Andreas. If you think of any other advice that isn't in the instructions, please let me know. I'm old enough now to realize, "I don't know everything"!!! And I'm willing to listen. Dave

Andreas or Wabie, OK, I pulled out Pack 1, Stage 1. Put on my rubber surgical gloves and put the Ferrari logo into the front section. I see my gloves put a small smudge on the front section. Wabie, what gloves are you using and where can I get them? I don't want to constantly buffing out smudges on the model. Also, how do I put pictures into a posting? I'll see what happens after I clicked on "Attach images" and then send. David

I managed to make it through Pack 1 without any major problems. Then I started Pack 2. I'm trying to get my eye balls back straight in their sockets in my head. Getting all those cylinder head, chrome, bolts into their proper locations was challenging to say the least. At least they give you spares. One of the bolts snapped out of my tweezers and went somewhere on my bench, never to be seen again. At least I have a lighted magnifying lens so I can at least see the small parts!!! David
