We present the results of a tailored analysis of the spectra of WR40 (HD 96548, WN8) utilizing new line blanketed non-LTE model atmospheres. Synthetic spectra are compared with observation from 900 to 10,000 Å, with emphasis on far-UV HUT observations and the IUE regime. We identify the important line complexes in this region and deduce the Fe abundance. Improved stellar parameters and abundances of other metals are determined. A comparison of our new model results with non-line blanketed results is made.
