Ferrari F430

Here's my Ferrari F430. It's built from the Fujimi "option parts" version. I made some modifications to the kit; I removed all molded-in mesh and replaced it with photo-etched mesh, cut open the side windows, and added 5-point racing harnesses. I also used Crazy Modeler Ferrari scripts, cavaillinos, and Pininfarina scripts on the body, and SMS carbon fiber decals on the center console and dash. The paint is authentic Ferrari "Blu tour de France" from Zero paints, cleared with Zero lacquer. Thanks for looking!

Nice job on the F430 Joe Blyth and the blue color is different but nice even though I only like this car in red. You also did the wheels justice by giving them either a dull coat or did you spray them silver because they usually have that crome look right off the sprue. Yours got that real look to the wheels. Also like carbon fiber treatment to the dash.

Now that is one beautiful F430 :)

very nice!

Ro

Looks pretty good!
My only comment is that you throw more light onto the front of the kit when taking the pictures, as it's all clouded in shadow and doesn't reveal the nice details very well.

what color You use to interior?

good woek.
nice model.
ciao

Beautiful clean build, Joe :thumbsup:

Yes, nice job on the wheels, they look great.

That is one SHINY son of a gun!

Andy

Looks awsome!
Love the color combo ;)

Great work, love the tan & blue combo!

Thanks a lot, guys!

fastdupree, I stripped the kit plating and painted them with aluminum metalizer, then buffed them.

koksik, I mixed my own color for the interior using Tamiya desert sand and orange.

I really like the blue. good job

Wow, that blue is intense! Would be interested in seeing it in softer light too if that's possible :)

Looks very nice, congrats, I like it in blue. The interior suits well also, but I am not really fan of the red seatbelts with the tan interior, but it is only my taste, very nice build overall :grinyes:

Wow! good job there! Nice blue and most of all a very impressive interior. Just love it!

Damn thats a nice shine....!

Wow...Shiny paint job! btw, is it Switzerland's license plate?
