jonty14 Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 What are you talking about??? My box was a standard box, with 2 or 3 Lego seals at each end. Simply sliced the seals at one end and it opened. Not that I really care about a lousy box, that will take up space sitting on a shelf in the backroom. Mine had the two tabs that you press in. I only keep the box for special sets. Must be different boxes in use for the same set. Strange. Quote
jfbat Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 My box also had those two tabs you have to press in. I sliced trough the glue though so as not to damage the box. Which will probably end up in the old-paper bin anyway... Quote
Off the wall Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 Mine does the same thing, always feels like the right hand side (when looking at it head on) Need to figure if it's something slightly misaligned in my build or a more general issue. Same with mine. Also, disappointed in the proportions as compared to the real thing. Probably one I'll give to one of the neighborhood kids. Not a keeper. Enjoyed the build, though... Quote
jonwil Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 Well, at least TLG's D2C team gets enough time to select a new car (either F1, 959, something exotic like a Lancia Delta Integrale) and get it prototyped and get a box art done and get the necessary authenticity seals and shoot the Designer showcase and... and... yeah, let's just be patient, aye? This is becoming a popular subset, and they wouldn't run out of legendary cars to build. The next car we see may be the Ideas Corvette if LEGO gives it the green light... As for what LEGO should do next in the series, I would love to see a Lamborghini since I never got the yellow Gallardo. Something like the Aventador would work well with all the new parts that TLG has to play with now compared to the original Lambo sets (maybe in the orange color Lambo is so well known for) Quote
Danz16650 Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 (edited) My project f40 LM is not finished but soon after Wow! That looks great! How did you get all the red prints in yellow? Also, the Barchetta model of the LM is yellow, so maybe after finishing this one you could have a go at a Barchetta model. I think it will look amazing once finished.

Rishab N Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Sorry to bump this topic, but for those of you who own the set, how much room is under the headlights? I'm thinking of putting in some Lifelite LEDs once I buy the set Quote
BrickMonkeyMOCs Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 (edited) This morning I finally got around to modifying my 10248 F40 set. I think it's a brilliant set as designed, and certainly one of the most fun and instructive sets to build. But as most of us noted upon its release it is not without its flaws; foremost among these being the printed A- and C-pillars, and the fact that it is too short for its width with a rather squished back end. The first thing I did though was to replace the blue technic pins in the headlights with black ones, as they are visible from the outside. I then took to the printed A-pillars on the windscreen with some brasso, and replaced the red-printed black wedges serving as C-pillars with plain red parts. I think the windscreen looks much better without the printed pillars, and I have no idea why they bothered printing them in the first place. The removal of the printed C-pillars means it is less accurate in terms of the rear window side profile, but I still think it looks better than the printed parts. The more complicated final step was then to correct the proportions. I've extended the wheelbase, moving the engine and rear axle back one stud. I've also lengthened the doors one stud, and moved the angled section between the doors and rear wheels back one stud as well, to compensate. The engine cover is a stud longer between the back of the louvres and the rear wing. It's only a one-stud increase in overall model length, but it makes a world of difference to the overall look of the model. Edited February 4, 2016 by SpaceMonkey Quote

Sir von Lego Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 The next advanced model car could be a blue/white american one... Quote
