Finished - Ferrari 360 Stradale Spider

My latest Italian stallion is finally complete.

The SAS Stradale transkit was used on this one. Also used were resin Challenge Stradale wheels. Hood vents were added, along with a rear spoiler. Stainless steel mesh was added to the intake openings in the front and for the engine bay intakes.

The exterior was painted Tamiya Deep Metallic Blue over Tamiya Brilliant blue. The interior was painted 3 shades of custom mixed blue/grey.

Here's some pics.

You gotta love the way, this turned out. Still I´m missing the Stradale stripe, I just love that feature. Nevertheless, great job, especially in coloring the interior. NICE WORK!

Hi Cadguy

Beautiful, simply beautiful :iceslolan

Wow! Really cool! Love the spoiler and the whole look!

Darn cool. the color definitely makes a statment.

Well I'll be, hey Cadguy that looks awesome!! Great detail on the interior! That blue looks cool also!!!!!!!!

Another great one Matt!

Looks awesome! :sunglasse

That color on that car is a BITCH to photograph! It never will look like the real color except perhaps in natural light. I'll try to remember to bring my Spider to the meeting. Currently it's sporting GT3 rims.

The interior and exterior colors go along very well. :sunglasse

Great job :bigthumb:

:lol:
Yeah, the luggage cooling vents work well.

I debated the stripe until last night, and decided against it.
The stripe I'll save to put on another car someday. Maybe a non-360 Ferrari.

Thanks for the great reponses so far guys.

GTMike - The next ACME meeting is on July 11th. This car will be there. And I'm sure I'll have something else mocked up and started by then too.

Great work! I can't seem to find any errors! :D

Looking GOOD!

Cheers!
Lex

Awesome work!!!:sunglasse

Superb!

Love the colour and the shape !

Beautiful build, I love the color choice. It suits to 360 well.

ACH! By a HUGE margin, my favorite 360 yet! Brilliant work, and great taste!

Really nice.. Finally something a litle different for a 360.. Very well executed

superb!!! excellent work all around

first when i saw ur built, i was amazed.. and suddenly i remembered that urs look almost the same as my used to be neighbour's ferrari 360 Spider.. he had the same rims.. the wing is like GT WINGS almost like urs and the most is that he had all the stra body kits... and yours look SUPERB! CONGRATULATION!

:) Thank you all for the great comments.

I'm glad to see this build received so well.

I was a bit disappointed with the end result. Only because the final result was not what I had envisioned when I started the build. I had envisioned something a little more flashy and less conservative. A little more "tuned" looking..

It's pretty hard to tune a beauty like the 360 though. It's easy to go overboard and make it look silly.

Again, Thank you all for looking and taking some time to comment. :)
