360 Challenge Stradale decal

How many of you are interested in decals to be used with chris SAS 360 CS transkit ?

I would definately buy a couple sets if they were available..

I'll find it hard buying the transkit without the decals, and wheels.

I would like to buy some, if I could actually find the 360 here.

I'd buy a set!!

Me, me, me! :iceslolan

me too please!! (GOing to get the BBS alum wheels from Studio 27 too!) ;)

OK, seems there a lot of people interested in, i will design it,
i think putting on :

of course : the italian strip, the ferrari badge side, the ferrari badge for wheels, the ferrari badge for seatbelt, the ferrari Stradale plates, and the ferrari stradale rear emblem.
Anything else i missed ?

Do you want the stripe match the exact size of the modena ? or i make it much longer to be used on another ferrari car ?

I would definitely get a set!
Do not forget that the stripe is rounded at the front, and white background is longer that the color stripes, which are rounded also.
Keep us posted!

Seb, if you design them then maybe i can incorporate them onto the sheet of decals i shall be getting printed in the next few weeks. They will be proper silk screen printed decal of course and i'll be baring the costs.

I didn't concern myself with the decals on this project coz they are an option on the real car anyway. However, it would be nice to have the complete Stradale package with full interior upgrade, wheels and decals. I do plan to design a fret of etched Ferrari badges soon and the stradale emblem will be added to it.

Anyway, LMK what you think about the decals.

Chris, would you PLEASE let me know when you finish the photoetch for Ferrari?

Also, I think it would be a good idea to include red stitching for the dashboard and handbrake boot as a decal too.

OK, but...
All the reference pix I've seen show a race style digital dash.
Most of the text discriptions list a roll cage as well.
Anyone have links to better ref pix?
:p

I would buy some if there is a decal for the 360 cs

Does it come with transkit?? Please count me in the list!!!!! :smile:

[360spider]
No problem about the rounded stripes, i already notice ;-) but i will post pics of the decal to show you works and make correction before any print.

Do you got my mail ?

There are not exatly the one need for a 360cs, but very near, the only minor adaptation need is to replace the central nut by a 5 nuts systems... you can use sakatsu nuts or make some with plastruct products.

Museum Collection has some nice Challenge wheels, avalable at HLJ. They are like $50 for a set, but I'm sure you can get one set, and then make several resin copies!

Wheels on the Challenge, 360GT, and Challenge Stradale are all BBS, but they are all in different design. Thanks. :smile:

Yes, but you can easily modify resin copies.

Ok, so can someone make a comprehensive list of what you would need to change or modify on the Tamiya kit to make it a Stradale?
SO far I have:
- SAS kit (front fascia and sideskirts and mirrors)
- S27 wheels/Renaissance resin wheels modified
- Different seats with 5 point harness
- decals

what else?

-Rear wing
-Vents at sides of engine cover glass
-Two bars/struts in engine compartment just under the glass
-Carbon fiber interior door panels
-I think the dash is slightly different too.

There are two 360CS versions, the cosmetic differences being the seats and race style perspex windows with sliding opening. The decals are an option anyway.

Hmmm.. I have not seen a spoiler on any of the pics of the stradale cars... any pics?? Are you going to release a resin wing to complete the kit :naughty:*hint hint*

I know how to modify the dash (also need to remove the ac controls and radio)

Another question is whether the rear apron panel that houses the back up and turn lights is covered n C/F or is it just black.... (On the factory 360 it painted body color right?)

Thanks for all your help, I would have to build it without having refference materials.

The rear grill that holds the lights is actually a mesh type of material. Supposedly it's an option. You can shoose a the regular solid painted piece. Or the challenge grille. Supposedly the challenge grill adds more airflow keeping the engine from overheating. I was wondering if anyone made the challenge grill for the rear. And if they did. How do you remove the current rear?

I guess I'll have to visit my frendly local Ferrari dealer to get the option specifics.
I've read the CS has a roll bar, but I've not seen one in any pix.
All the interiors shots I've seen have an LCD dashboard as well...

Guys,
if any of you will get he pictures of that roll bar - please, share them! I already started the Stradale.

Also, can anyone post a link to those S27 wheels?

_835_ - Keep us informed about the status of that decal sheet - I really do not want to do it by myself if someone already done this -I'd rather buy them.

Thanks,
Alex

Sorry alex, i got no pics of the roll bar :-(

for the decal, i am working on...i start by the most difficult : the challenge Stradale logo to be put on Identity Plate...the rest will easy to do.
As soon as i have something decent to show i will post.

Also, can anyone post a link to those S27 wheels?



Alex,
Could these be them?

Thanks Ray.
But looking at these wheels - they are not exactly the same as on stradale, you right... Maybe its worth investing in those Museum Collection wheels...

"challenge Stradale logo to be put on Identity Plate" ? - not sure what you mean - what's an Identity plate? By Challenge Stradale logo you mean <i><b>Challenge_Stradale</b></i> badge right?

Ahh, I see... Well, license plate is not that important. Keep us informed on your progress!

hi Seb,

Just a heads up: http://www.acustion.com/top7e.html

We'll stocking the products once they are released. Pre-orders welcomed.

Also, just received news from a maker from Hong Kong releasing the transkit too.

cheers,
Wong

thanks a lot wong,

so guys as you can see acusteon already done the job, so i think you will prefer buying this set instead of the one i am designing...

I am waiting for feed back ...

Certainly puts my effort to shame. I think if i'm going to expand on my kit then i'll have to do it soonish.

WTH!!!!!3800Yen for 4 wheels!!....pricey, but it is nice to see a kit for CS and Challenge. :smile: Does this kit enclocse with the body???It doesnt have any info about this.

P L E A S E!!! I haven't gotten my new order yet, but if its anything like all the last ones that I would love an addition to your 360 set.

How about interior (including the dash and correct seats) and rear underbody spolier pieces with the fins and a more comprehensive decal list??? :iceslolan That would be nice!!

Who is the maker from HK? More info? Do they make the wheel as well....because no one is making the specific CS wheel so far. :smile:

To my mind : Yes , on the page we can see 1.300 Y, but for better precision, i think it is better to check with wong @ mediamix

I sure hope so! You never know!
I already started the conversion. Actually, I think Acustion set is pretty much useless, except for RIDICULOUSLY expensive wheels and decals.

you are right, the decal is expensive for a so litle sheet and easy design ..and there is no licence plate on :-( nad i don't know what are this blue print thing. Any idea ?

ah, so far, great work on the yellow enzo.

[QUOTE=_835_] i don't know what are this blue print thing. Any idea ?[QUOTE]

Cornes? I think its a Ferraris dealer in Japan. Not sure though.

Seb, how far did u get with your decals? I'm still keen to get them done, my kit definately needs to be expanded.

Chris, how about making a PE rear grille? Nobody offers it yet, and it should be relatively easy to make. Also, you may want to include a C/F sheet, and rear glass (made from clear styrene with Xerox'ed louvers for vents), just throwing some ideas... Seats? They are the same seats as in Enzo...

In fact when i see that Acustion do the job, i slow down the make of it to see the feedback of people.
The only thing my decal sheet can bring more than acustion is the licence plate..but does it worth the time to make it, as acustion shhet also contains gauges.
I am still waiting for more feedback to check if i continue or stop the design.(i am also waiting to receive my 360 kit to put decal at correct size ;-))

The grill is far from easy coz its molded to accomodate the rear lights. A simplified version might be posible made from very thin sheet to just sit in place on the kit body with cut outs where the lights are. This would just give the impression of a grill and will obviously not be see through which is a shame. My thoughts on this were just to paint that area semi-gloss black and make do with it:dunno:

I failed to realise the seats were as per Enzo, this is good news coz that would be the most difficult item to make from scratch. There would also be no problem in copyng the Enzo seats to sell with the Stradale t/kit as its for the Tamiya 360 model and Tamiya won't be out of pocket.

Chris - rear grille is made from thin drilled metal on a real car. If you could make grille with this drilled out pattern, modelers could just cut off the saddles for the taillights, and glue them from behind, and just paint the whole thing black - and then glue in the taillights. Again, just an idea.
Also, modified air boxes would be a good addition.

Worth considering :smile:

I've put a lot of thought into the 360 Challenge grill.
The only solution I've come up with that makes much sense is to cover the rear panel with 1/43 carbon fiber decal, or just paint it black.
It looks like most of the 360's (coupes and spyders) coming into the US right now have the Challenge grill and different Ferrari modular wheels.

The Strad' has a variety of options, though the guy I spoke with at FOD (Ferrari of Denver) was not sure what they were. I know they include the seats and side windows...

:p

I believe there are too Stradale options, one is a meore practical version and the other is a lighter race bred type which is the one we see more often with the decals, different seats and perspex windows.

How about these guys, worked on them today and will be submitted to printers in the next week or so. Onto developing the rest of the kit now.

Hey Chris, if we have the rear spoiler, it would be excellent. :smile: :smile:

great job chris, i definitively stop my design.

I agree about the rear spoiler, I don't see much point in building a kit of something half way between stradale and standard, I want to go all the way!

Chris,
Decal sheet looks great! I would also add a rev counter (its yellow on Stradale), let me know if you need a picture of it, and also Challenge_Stradale badge for the rear grille, and maybe small round horses for the wheels?

Btw, I got the kits yesterday, outstanding work! Thanks!

Will add the rev counter, got some pics but more will be great, any other pics too infact! Email to me if poss :smile: I figured the wheel badge decals on the Tamiya decal sheet would suffice. The badge i would like as an etched piece but i will add as a decal too coz the etched part may not be introduced til later.

wow that kit is something im considering now all the bits are coming together. Would you consider having reference pics attached to the relevent sections of your web site? just so we can use them for information?

also something struck me looking at the new wing mirrors, would it be possible for you to create a universal mirror set? with pe mirrors? just so we can modify some of the more ugly standard mirrors such as the new celica.

cant wait for everything to come out dude :evillol:

ps. how are the tuner decals coming along? am waiting with baited breath

I'll send the pix later from home Chris. I'll also see if I could find something else to add to the decals sheet. Actually, small piece of C/F decals for the rear diffuser would be also good.
Not sure if you can do this - C/F for the seat backs would be nice too.

I'd like to do a set of aero mirrors like those i've made for my celica http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/t91192.html Will have to leave out PE parts for them though to keep costs down.

Tuner decals still in the pipeline but no ETA
