Revell F430..??

[mickbench]

I know the Revell F430 isn't the most wanted kit at the moment, but is it actually out yet?

It's been slated for November '05 release for as long as I've known about it; perhaps you were thinking of the US release of the kit? I've heard Revell AG is going a Spider as well.

The Revell Modena was absolutely nothing to write home about, having a very poorly executed body mold that required a ton of cleanup, and a general "cheap" feeling to it that Revell USA kits certainly don't have. The Tamiya Modenas were well worth the extra expense. I suspect this F430 may be a variation on Revell's Modena. I'm banking that Fujimi's F430 will satisfy my need for the car and maybe I'll get the Revell kit in a year or so when they're common as dirt at Hobby Lobby for 1/2 price.

Hmm..

Oh well. And yep, 73 parts is what you call a "low" parts kit.. Still at least its all plastic..

Sorry couldn't help myself..!!

[Vric]

Low parts are for easier assembly LOL

I will wait the Fujimi one and do a mix with a Tamiya 360. Will be expensive, but much better than Revell.

I'll buy both just to have an opinion based on my own experience. :-)

Is the body molded in white? Looks like clear plastic on the boxart, or maybe its just the pic.

looks ok.

We'll wait patiently for the full review and comparison test

Hell no! I don't want one. I'm awaiting the Fujimi "optional parts version" and even that won't get me overly inspired. '06 is shaping up to be the year you see me and other ACME guys building a slew of Porsches. Glad I got an '06 Mustang knocked out before I started on my stack 'o Zuffenhausen classics. It's gonna be the wurst year ever for (a lack of) Ferraris from ACME
