Yes that's right a Ferrari Boat!

This is the 1953 Arno XI.
The kit is 1:43 and by Provence Moulage.
It was fairly simple, and a lot of fun. It only took me a few nights to complete it.
The only difficult part was the rear rudder assembly.

wow ,stunning work ,I `ve never seen such a ferrari before.

thats is soo nice, love the wood on it.

What a great model, and what an interesting subject! I think we need some more details on this little autonautic curiosity.

Looks really good,already did see this once in a thread and was wondering when youre gonna build it.

cool, man!! I love this subject!

I've seen a similar model years ago and been fasinated by it since~~ ^^

great job! well done!

When I saw the thread title I thought you made a model of F310 :D j/k

Looks very cool, good work.

Thats pretty cool!

are there any 1:24 scale speedboats out there?
Just thinking, imagine a clinker boat with a ferrari V-12 (like a daytona V12 or something)...

That looks cool!!! The woodwork looks great!!!!!!!

Cool! Good job too!

Now thats a personal water craft.

Neat subject. Bring it this weekend.

Really nice!!
M.Schumacher would love to steer it on max speed! :biggrin:

Very nice :bigthumb:

Beautiful! :sunglasse

Just don't give Ferrari any brilliant ideas for a tow vehicle. If they pull a Cayenne out of their ass, I give up! :banghead: :shakehead

Would be cool to have the whole collection of those old race boats...Maserati etc.

Sweet subject Matt and a great job building it.

Indeed, but I have too many old American boats to build (Caddy's, Lincolns, Buicks... :lol: :lol: :lol: ).

So who's now inspired to build a James Bond-esque aquatic Enzo? :icon16:

never seen anything like it:lol:

Thanks for all the awesome comments guys.. :)
I'm sure this will be something unique in the sea of Ferraris at our ACME car show tommorow.

That's awesome. I like it :D

Hey, i seem to remember reading about this thing. Wow, leave it to Ferrari to make a beautiful thing out of any vehicle they build! Great build--the detail would have suggested a larger scale than 1:43. Compliments on the wood deck.

Very cool!

Awsome! one of it's kind! the most beautifull ferrari i have seen;)

Beautiful! :sunglasse

don't be surprised if they do.

Now i can say i have learnt something new today.

Cool! Love the woodgrain, is it decal?

Cool! Love the woodgrain, is it decal?

The deck on top is an opaque decal in two halves. The two decals matched up perfectly.

The woodgrain on the sides is only the dark grain. I painted the bottom tan and then applied the clear decal with woodgrain on it to simulate planks. It came out pretty realistic.

Thanks all.. :)

Nice wood!!!!
