COMPLETE: Ferrari F430 Rosso Fiorano" 56K Beware

The Revell Germany kit is complete in CObra colors Rosso Fiorano. I took lots of photos of this one outside. I scratchbuilt a few struts for the rear hatch. They can be removed to close the hatch. Other than that and flocking the car is built boxstock with ride heirght adjustements to accomodate the little front tires.

Re: COMPLETE: Ferrari F430 Rosso Fiorano" 56K Beware

i got a feeling the revell kit is better then the fujimi... hmm firstly the back of the kit for revell opens while fujimi one doesnt... and i the grill at the back of fujimi as well as all the vents are molding in.. not those grill types which sucks... but i kinda prefer the fujimi body after painting... it looks more thin?
revell one seems thicker on plastic..

WOW! Gorgeous color and very nice build!
Is that the stock suspension setting or did you modify that as well? IT sits very nicely.
Great job!

Re: COMPLETE: Ferrari F430 Rosso Fiorano" 56K Beware

Lovely work, I don't really like mettalic red either, but on this car it looks good. My brother will be doing his in BMW Jet Black, which hides a lot of the incredible detail of this model, but this car seems to look good in any colour. Is it that a sink mark in the bonnet, as I noticed that on my brothers car that a visible one only apeared after painting

Re: COMPLETE: Ferrari F430 Rosso Fiorano" 56K Beware

I like the build, nice and clean. Nice colour choice althought the metallic is a little large for this scale but what are you going to do. I dont like the front tires, too small like you mentioned. Makes it look like a lowrider in the front.
Overall looks like a nice kit, Revell have come along way.
