Ferrari 360 Spider (Black Widow)

[Ferrari TR]

Yes another 360. I just finished a coupe, and i thought a spider would be a nice addition to the collection. A Tamiya kit in the SPC group build as well.
I'm jumping right in to this one.


Basic suspension assembled with tacky glue, for a check of the stance.
I thought it might look good lowered and widened just a bit, but i think it looks fine just as it is.

I guess you can have too much of a good thing.

This is going to be triple black with CF interior trim and a CF or challenge rear grill, black stock wheels are in the plan for now too. CF airboxes are in the plan as well and i'm hoping to source a red tach decal from some other ferrari kit too.

Some interior insanity.



This should make it easier to CF the console.
I still need to change the rear shelf pocket to the correct dual spider pockets.

All the 'plated' parts ready for the oven cleaner.

More as it happens.

lovin it already!

black on black on black with carbon fiber sounds real mean!

cant wait to see more

[Ferrari TR]

Naked parts!

Red Rims! Red Rims!
Rims are left over from 'Bad Penny', just a bit more red than i want though.

Challenge front grills, mesh from a Revell 360 is courser than Tamiya's. The nastiness won't show when their installed and painted.

Primer, putty and quite a bit of sanding otherwise.

Nice!

Cool start, looking forward to see what you do with the rear... I like the CS mesh grill idea personally

[Ferrari TR]

Challenge(ing) rear grill started.

So much for the easy part, i don't even have any metal yet to fill the hole.

CF airboxes started too. I'm going for aftermarket style not factory CS pieces.


Almost completely destroyed.

I think the demolition is almost over. I'm almost out of mods on this one.
It is nice to build something that doesn't need to be fixed, where everything fits and the hardest part of building it is making your mods good enough to go with the model not the other way around.

I agree 100%. I dont have a ton of time to model so when I do sit down at my bench i like to build and not solve fit problems!

looking awesome so far!

Are you going to use pe mesh for the rear? I always wanted to do that, but cutting the holes for the taillights is the challenging part. Keep us posted.

[Ferrari TR]

Yes I'm going to attempt a metal grill. I don't have any metal yet or my PE decal or some other materials i want for this. So, this may go dormant while i do the OOB (out of the box) chassis and engine building.

Engine cover struts.
A little brass and some straight pins.

I'm happy to field any questions.
Pictures of the bits in the body shortly.

As promised, now attached to the big pieces.



The rear window needs a little trimming and the deck lid fit could use some work too. Otherwise, I'm happy.
