360 Challenge Spider

[slownlow32tl]

Hi guys I wanted to do something different from my other red ferraris and Ive had the SAS transkit for a while so i decided to do a non realistic car but something someone could do if they had a roll of cash you could beat a baby seal to death with. So here it is a Ferrari 360 Challenge stradale convertable.
Painted in Tamiya blue pearl and cleard with 2 prt automotive. Hope you like. And if Auw12 sees this i guess you can add me to the list for the 60th anv. build

looks good. what kit is this anyways? that paint looks nine miles deep, just how i like it. that shine is just incredible.

Great paint job! Third brake light is crooked, lol. I want to say that is Tamiya, but I have never seen a Revell one in person.

Great project! I have the same project waiting for me!

I love the color, I'm thinking on a dark blue met for my 360 CS project, are you going to scratch up a front trunk area? your paint job loks great, as do the body mods, I've got some fitting to do on mine for the front bumper..

good luck man, looking forward to seeing more of it.

It is the tamiya kit. And yeah i know the third brake light is a little crooked but its not as bad as it looks in the pic because the engine lid isnt on right in the picture, but yeah didnt notice til after the clear. And yes i plan to scratch build the trunk (and if anyone knows how to make some good looking hinges im all ears). I forgot to mention that im also using the lions roar PE set and used the E-jan ferrari emblems (which looks really nice by the way) Im going to also use the unused challenge engine cover for a 360 modena race car that i have a set of decals for that i might try to complete at the same time as this to save time and materials.

That paint looks great! Metallics always look weird when I use 'em.

Wow, I love the colour on this one. The shine to it is absolutely astounding.

Looks beautiful

Little update:
First a pic of the color i used and some materials.

Engine not sure if im going to wire it because the spark plugs are pretty hard to see once its all together.


The seat i used MM spray i think dark tan and used some Crazy modelers metal transfers for the head rest although the passenger seat one didnt come out as well as the drivers but oh well.

The soft top done first covered in SMS spray flocking then airbrushed semigloss black because most all soft tops have the wet-looking shine to them

carbon parts ready to be cleared


and finally the wheels

will try to do some more this weekend.

wooooow that looks real good. im currently building a black 360 modena and i also chose to carbon fibre that back piece. how did u get it to go into the tail lamp holes so good? i havent decided yet how im gonna do that. just put the decal on last night so im giving it some time to dry before i start cutting.

This is very nice so far!!

Thanks all! First i took a small bit of CF and kinda rolled it into a half cylinder and put that on the large part of the inner lamps and then let the middle part of it lay down with the micro sol then cut away the excess with a sharp exacto (if that makes any sense ) Then i had a template that i maade before clearing and and put that on there just like you prolly have once it lays down over the majority of the pannel i cut the lamp section like star ( leaving like 6 or 8 individual little trinagles) and then worked each part of the cut into the holes. if you look close you can still kinda see the black on the lateral drivers side lamp, but the actual lamp should cover it.

really nice, keep up the good work.

Little update. finished the exhaust and all of the engine but the airboxes.



Little test fit to see how it looks


Smoked the tails kinda like the novitec ferraris.

and the other 360 modena race car i mentioned before. As you can see my work station is a huge mess.
