Hello guys,

This weekend I started a quick project to model an F1 car, I based it loosely (due to time constraints) on the F60 as it's one of my favorites. However i'm struggling to find a good pic of the rear suspension, i'm particularly interested in the track rod's vertical placing. I have a top down pic that shows horizontal pretty good, but i'm unsure about height.
I'm pretty sure there should some great pics on this thread about it, hopefully one of you can refer me to a good one
In case you're interested below you can see where i'm at, the only other things i plan to add are mirrors (inboard, no time for the real ones), rear suspension and rear wing lower element

I can't believe anybody liked how the F60 looked. It was the ugliest Ferrari I've ever seen. Those wheel covers made it ten times uglier as well. The F10 looks so much nicer...plus it's actually fast.

Really? You think the F10 was uglier than this beast?

I specifically left the wheel covers out :) , but yeah i think it's pretty.

EDIT: in fact as per a friend's request i just added one of the 2010 go fast bits to it :D
