Ferrari 430 Scuderia Spider 16M

Springtime! Sunshine! Finally the right weather to take some photos of the work finished early this year. The Ferrari 430 Scuderia Spider 16M.



The kit is Fujimi with Hobby Design Transkit. It was the usual quality. Fujimi was good, HD parts wouldn't really fit as they should, most were too small, so extensive adjustment was needed. Especially the chassis / undercarriage was awful, getting the wheels to sit in the middle of their arches was almost impossible.
Paint is Zeros Bianco Fuji, although the effect isn't really visible in bright light. You can only see it in those pictures with the light coming from behind. The white paint is topped with TS13, sanded smooth, polished and waxed. I also used some other extras like HD c/f decals, engine wires, seat belt hardware, metal transfer emblems etc. The p/e parts were included in the transkit.
The result is not as clean as I wanted, as some parts just wouldn't fit right, but it's still a pretty nice car in the end.
And now for some pictures. All comments, critics and questions welcome.
Enjoy!
