Ferrari F430 WIP
Here's another project of mine, Fujimi's rendition of the Ferrari F430. I'm building the option parts version, which means BBS rims and special seats are included. The body, where I always start, looked good except for the molded-in mesh for the engine compartment, which I removed. The body was then primed and painted Tour de France blue from Zero paints, followed by six coats of Zero clear. I then polished the paint with 3M rubbing compound.
The interior will be tan, and I plan to add carbon-fiber accents on the dash and center console. The rest of the build will be close to box-stock.

Re: Ferrari F430 WIP
Here are the seats and dash. The tan is a custom mixture of Tamiya sand and orange, and I applied a wash of dark brown in the seat crevices. The dash has SMS carbon-fiber decals cleared with Tamiya smoke. The finish on the steering wheel is kind of crummy so I may re-do it.

Re: Ferrari F430 WIP
Nice work! I especially like those ace seats. I was trying to mix a tan, damn, it's tricky isn't it? The question is, why don't they sell one? I know everyone wants a different shade, but it seems like a glaring omission to me.

Re: Ferrari F430 WIP
Thanks for the comments. mrawl, I really do wish someone made a suitable Ferrari tan, but I'll just have to keep mixing my own until someone makes some!
I decided to mask off the trim with BMF, tamiya tape and aluminum foil and spray the window trim.  Everything was going fine, until I pulled up the tape!   I really don't know what happened; I always sand the plastic with 800 grit sandpaper before I prime, clean with dish liquid and water, and prime with high-quality primer. (Zero) Maybe I just got unlucky? I'm particularily puzzled with the paint pulled up on the roof, that's just plain weird that it pulled up in a nice line like that. Oh well, you live you learn! I'm in the process of repairing it now.

Re: Ferrari F430 WIP
Ouch. That sucks.
Hmmm. I should be carefull than. I painted and cleared my F430 with zeropaints, and I'm about to mask everything for painting the window trim... Good luck repairing that spot.
