Finished: Giallo Modena Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale

godfather23 · #1 07-17-2005, 03:26 PM

Finally! It´s done. Took me over 4 months to complete.
The color is Tamiya TS-47 Chrome Yellow. I used the MSM Creation Kit to convert the Tamiya Ferrari 360 Modena into the Challenge Stradale. I also used the AcuStion mechanical Set and Studio27-CF-Decals.
Thanks a lot to Chris from ScaleAutoStyle, who enabled me using his great Stradale Rims. These are the same rims 360Spider introduced on on his Stradale. Many thanks again, Chris!
Then adding to this, many thanks to CADGuy, who sponsored me a second set of Stradale-Stripes after I ruined my first set.
Now for some pics.

As usual, I would like you to comment on the project.

Very nice work! Looks great

Looks great. I'm glad to see those decals put to very good use.

I sure wish Chris would add those wheels to his catalog, I could use about 4 sets!

nice job, well done!
I really must get myself one of these kits - a really nice looking kit of a 1/1 car I can actually do some realtime research on

Nice build. I've raced against 360 Challenge Stradale at the track. Not a drag strip, a real track. Pretty slow against a fully tuned WRX Wagon. HEHE I was the passanger through.

Heres pics of the Stradale from Oklahoma! Yes we have some bada$$ rides down here in the southwest!

Looks good, just need to remove the flash from the wheels.

Looks superb. Yellow is hard to work with, so your build is impressive. I've built the 360 box, and it was a super kit to build. Like how you have done the rear, with the black, and the seats look cool was well.

Good looking build! One to be proud of.

Sooner or later, I'm gonna have to build me one of these. So, Stevinski, you can get detail pics...?

Thank you for your kind words, guys! If someone has some reference on this car, which is not to be found on the net yet, please tell us. I think I will build one of these in black someday.

I love the color. I'll have to find a car to paint yellow just so I can use it.

Pardon my ig'nance, but what makes it a "Challenge?"

It want's to be a Mopar, so they took the r off of Challenger and labled it as such...

Damn, that was some shity bull shiting. Anyways, great looking model. Carefully trim that flashing off the wheels and it will look even better.

Basically it's a stripped and tuned version of the 360.

It's a road going version of the 360 challenge racecar.

It has an little bit more aggressive aero kit, many interior parts are carbon or removed to save weight, high-flow airboxes for increased HP, Enzo like seats, challenge grills front and rear for better cooling, and the wheels are BBS 'challenge' wheels. I believe it has upgraded brakes also.
And let's not forget the 10HP stripe that is optional. I'm sure there are other enhancements that i'm forgetting, but that's the main parts.
