First off, if this is you skyliner then hats off to you!

I have ranted a few times about how much I struggled to find an affordable version of 8145 and when I finally did I thought the model was rubbish.

Now...well this version just looks fantastic and I would love to have it.

Plus...thats like 12k (6 from what I can see) in 19L flex axles according to the Boratko Store Prices.

Of course some people on here will drool over the possibility of purchasing the model only to part it out.

Let it be written..."This model shall not be parted-out"

From that auction listing (which uses "deeplinked" images from Sky-liner's Brickshelf Gallery):

"Lego - Custom 599 GTB Ferrari - Black / Chrome

Thanks :)

I originally got the set for good valve in the lego sale in 2008, i should of bought more as they retail real high now.

I wanted a black version, the 19L Soft axles were the real problem, lego really do need a re-release of these, soon please!

The chrome is from chrome block city: http://www.bricklink.com/store.asp?p=Aurimax&itemID=20890269. The wheel covers in chrome really work well with the black.

I got custom black decals to finish it off.

The 14L axles are rare too. This model require a good bit of them as well. Especially since 16 ones don't exist and must be made out of 14s.

I was wrong... there are 7

What a pain.

OUCH! That's painfully good looking :wub:
