Re: Ferrari 458 Italia - something unusual

Interesting wheels, black roof is great on these.

Mine is nearly done. It's a fairly disappointing model in a lot of respects, but it looks okay enough. Make sure you have the side panels and rear bumper glued on very well (I used Tamiya extra thin cement, before parts were painted), it's a very tight fit and a lot of stretching of the sides to get the finished body over the wheel wells. Rear metal axle too short. Glass fit not great, side glass shows visible thickness all too well. They really rushed this kit...take your time, even though it's simple, you'll need to be vigilant to get everything to fit properly.
