Fujimi Ferrari F430 Spider - completed

Hi, I've rested for a long time. Recently just finished this model. Not much work done this time:
1. flushed the windscreen



2. filled the gap bet'n the body & the chasis near the front


3. added more detail to the back of the seat



4. used some Crazy Modeler's PE parts (although it's not for the spider)

Hope you like it.

Very nicely built and detailed

erm...what does it mean to "flush the windscreen"?

erm... there was a "step" bet'n the window frame & the windscreen. I cut off the border of the windscreen, and push it a little upward. Now it looks both parts are in parallel. Actually, I learned the word "flush" from my last build here.

Cheers,

Thanks for that. I think I get what you mean.

If I get the kit, I'll look out for that problem.

Great job, AC!!!
Your work is awesome
The modification of the windscreen made it more realistic !
I have seen the Top Gear programme during my flight yesterday night which showed exactly the F430 spider like yours.

This is a very nice and most detail F430 spider I've seen. Anyway, where did you get the "carpet" effect? Thanks!

It's actually some used cloth for cleaning pair of glasses. It's cut into dedicated shape & glued to the chasis.
