Jan,

The mirrors in the revell kit are wrong. The F430 logo should only be on one mirror, usually the left one, although it's on the right mirror for right hand drive versions. So basically only the driver's side mirror should have the logo.

I have to say I like how they engineered the body and the engine.

thnx, but that's after a couple of hours sanding ;)

and i will fix the mirror tomorrow with putty

definatly gonna follow this project

i think it looks better with the F430 logo in both mirrors, but i think, if I would made an exact replica, i would fill the other mirror up lol.

wow! that's a great kit. i can't wait to see this done.

btw does somebody have a good site with many high res ref. pics?

zerrocool, off the top of my head there is this site http://ferraris-online.com/cars/carssold1.shtml . Look around in the 'Cars we sold' section, they may have an F430. If I think of anything else I'll post it here.

There may be something here too http://www.ferrariportal.com/ .

Here's one more http://www.ferrarisales.com/more.phtml?method=lkup&firsthid=740&offset=0&qty=6&id= (http://www.ferrarisales.com/more.phtml?method=lkup&firsthid=740&offset=0&qty=6&id)= They have hi-res links to the top right of the photos.

Hope this helps.

Can't wait to see your progress.
