I just got my shipment from 1999.co.jp and it included 2 sets of the Fujimi Ferrari 430 Scuderia. The reason why I´m building this model is because I think it is the most advanced and extreme Ferrari to date. And when I even get to work at this car nearly every day you get a little extra kick when you have it in a scale model :wink:

Here´s the pictures !

I have also painted the rims. A close match to the real deal I would say ? :)

Nice start on this! Love the colors of the ferraris. Which color did u use for the blue one?

And none of the are red, nice job mate!

I always watching Ferrari threads... I do the same again.
Excellent start.
Good luck until the end...

It is time for a rather small update :)

Since I last posted I have clearcoated the bodies and also started to polish them a little bit.. So there´s nothing new that´s been happening.. but I will show you some pics of the bodies as it stands right now :)

It´s a really slow process of polishing the bodies. I have just started using Tamiya Compounds.. But it certainly makes a GREAT amount of difference to the whole appearance of the model ! :)

Those two cleared and polished bodies look impressive! :)

Very nice combo!

The shine is just perfect!

Nice paintwork and color choices! Polishing does take forever, but the results are worth it. I like building pairs of cars too, as I can't choice one single color.

What do you mean Rickard, when you say you get to work on this car every day? Are you lucky enough to be a mechanic or owner? I'm jealous...
Great job on the models so far.

UPDATE !! :twisted:

I´m actually getting close to finishing these two beautiful cars. The first models I´ve finished for over a year and it feels great to acutally finish something.

I have finished up the chassis and now I only got the bodies left to finish :)

A slight polish all around, fitment of exterior parts and then it´s finished ! :)

Looks clean from pictures. Looking forward to final shots with trim finished and assembled. Very neat work there with two models of identical build quality.

Looking good, on the engine carpartment, did you paint the carbon? If you did how did you paint it?

Great work so far! The only problem is that I don't know which colour I like better. :grinyes:

I'll take the blue one please :bigthumb:

Engine bays are looking sweet and the interior looks good too. Got any closer shots of the interior to show?

OK, then I take the yellow one, please! :-)
Beautiful twins!!!

Beautiful models there. Just love F430 Scuderias!

Looking good, on the engine carpartment, did you paint the carbon? If you did how did you paint it?

I first painted it flatblack and then I used a a pen to do the pattern. I think it´s a very cheap and easy way to make your own carbon fibre. And it don´t look too bad either. :)
And you can also spray some clear over it to make it nice and shiney if you want to :)

Thanks for all the kind words ! :)
