WIP: ROG Ferrari F430 "Rossa Fiorano"

[SkylineFan]

Decided to pick this kit up off ebay. It seems like a real nice tooled kit.
The front tires are a bit small in my opinion, but they are a carry over from the Modena. Molding is nice, in scale, and if I tweak it like the Revell Enzo I did, I think it will be another winner.... Here it is below bathed in Cobra colors "Rossa Fiorano". With the ever growing palette of colors Leon offers in his paints, you can bet it will be a long time till you see a Rossa Corsa signature ferrari red build from me!!!! It still needs to be polished which will be done in a day or 2 after the 2 part Omni dries......you should see this body in the sun!!

oh, I stripped the chrome off the wheels and painted them in tamiya silver leaf from the can.

This start is looks great!
This color is awesome on this!

Fantastic start, for reference below is the real rosso fiorano(despite the model), look like Cobra made goal, it suit perfectly the shape of that beauty. Why not outside US?!!

Looks great. Color is great! Can't wait to see more

I'm with you! Rosso Corsa is maybe Italian for 'plain'.

Looks good. Looking forward to seeing it polished, and in the sun.

Rosso = Red Corsa = Of Course (JK lol)
Dealers call it 'resale' red.

Love that shade!
and that 612 is just how I plan to build mine.

I'm sorry: that color is exactly the ROSSO FIORANO. May be it seem a bit dark due the fair light.

It's going to be another stunner !

Can't get the paint you mention over here in the UK - this 612 is Rover Nightfire Red - not too far off is it? and may give you an idea of what the model looks like when finished.

Looking forward to developments on this one.

Beautiful color man! Keep up the awsome progress!

Rubino is a new color for the 612, and that's the color that was on the car for the show circuit. Rosso Foriano is more pink. I just saw these two colors in person at the Cavallino Classic in Palm Beach.

P.S. I dont think Rosso Fiorano is on the 2006 color palette. You'll have to special order it.

Looks great! The wheels do look smallish. A few of us picked up cheap Maisto F430 kits @ Hobby Lobby for the two sets of rims (only one set of tires ) and they look better size-wise. I think Fujimi's 430 rims look small too. I can't remember if I've seen the Revell kit in person or not.

And again, nice work taking a Revell kit to the next level. You've been pretty productive lately

looking great! does hobby lobby have this kit yet?
