Good and bad

The 488 is a beautiful car, and unfortunately this build comes up short in the looks department. The large gaps really interrupt the lines of the car, and the body panels should have been gloss red rather than matte red, which is unattractive even when covered with stickers. The end result is also a bit less solid than I would prefer. The build itself was very interesting and entertaining though.
Really ugly final product. I get the designers challenge to replicate the curved lines on this model. It is very interesting how they tried to manage it. But the question is why bother if the final product is so ugly. It looks like a patched up job that it is. I hesitated to buy this set but I finally did because I have the other 4 in the series.
I’m glad it’s over. I did not enjoy this build. Some of the steps were difficult to complete even though I have small fingers. Some of the instructions were difficult to follow. I like the finish product but I’m good without building it again.
This has been the first LEGO product I ever build and it is amazing. The details on the car just make it look realistic and eye appealing. I am 22 and I do not play with it, but I have had friends coming to my place and they just go crazy for how good it looks as display. I had fun building it and just made me dive into wanting more cars like this one. I have now become a car builder addict!!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Welcome to building! We're excited to hear you enjoyed building so much and hope you find other offerings to keep that creativity alive!
After starting the build, I was unable to stop until completion. The only complaint with this build was the ride height. However, one quick YouTube video fixed that problem. Now, after lowering the car, it looks like an actually Ferrari! I had a lot of fun with this as I am just getting back into building Legos!
This was one of the most challenging builds I've done only out done by the Bugatti Chiron. There are a lot of stickers but I became pretty good at it by the end. I don't know how people have missing parts. Out of 23 kits I've only had one kit that was missing a part and I found it inside of one of the tires. (Knock on wood) Next is the Porsche 911RSR with no numbered bags. Should be challenging again.
A lot of 14+ or 18+ lego’s take 1-2 days to build, and it’s fun! This lego took a week and it was the perfect challenge. It made me put so much focus in each step and it was challenging .
