SCUDERIA-FERRARI

thx all for the nice remarks

this is the lemans minitures bentley speed 8 from lemans 2003. this is what got voted for me to build in the acme 2010 group build. there were a ton of things wrong with the kit. body warped, wing warped, wrong mirrors, only 2 headlights, some decals were missing. i think they were stoned out when they made this thing. theres more i could list.

it was a blast this year meeting you russel, definetly looking foward to nxt year....... your vetts and chapparal were great looking as well. im the mike that built the 430 and mc12 you were speaking of.. last name edwards...

thanks all...

finished product can be found here... F430GT FINISHED THREAD some of the ACME club guys always have a lemans 24 hr build palooza... i figured why not finish it while i was there. and believe it or not i am under that blanket asleep... lol thx downie. fun stuff.

finally finished it.... progress thread can be found here... F430GT PROGRESS THREAD hope everyone likes it...

i am now finished with this car. i will have pics up soon.

nice work.. i got to see the real fxx's last week at the ferrari challenge. theye kicked #@!

finally got away from my busy life to make some progress again. ive got all the window trim on the body painted now. carbon fibered the peice where the mirror goes, b pillar and the vents around the rear window also the front radiator air extractors and the door panels. kevlar for all 4 wheel well's and ive started applying the decals. i hope to finish the decaling thursday. stay tuned....

no sir its 1:24

*UPDATE* the engine is done now. ive started on the rest of the body. heres a few shots of the wheels. abviously you can see what the problem is that im facing when trying to get it to set right. heres a few more of the wheels since they were the wrong diameter i had to wrap a strip of sheet plastic around the wheel. i had to rob some slick tires from another tamiya kit. stay tuned for more...

ive got the engine bay almost done now. ive been working on getting the ride heights right along with the tires and wheels being centered right and its causing me to get a lil mad....

very nice

oooo this is kool

This is the studio 27 f430 kit. RISI COMPETIZIONE from LE MANS 2007. body is all painted and rubbed out. i had to putty up alot of the ducts on the hood of the car because the 2007 lm car didnt have some of them in the race. primed white then sprayed tamiya ts-25 pink. the ts-8 italian red. then the clear. chasis wise all ive got done is the interior. sprayed ts-76 mica silver. ignition boxes wired and carbon fiber. back of the seat carbon an the belts on it. dash is ts-6 matte black with some carbon with all the switches painted. same with the steering wheel. theres an etch horse emblem on the wheel, also red wires wrapped around the steering collom. etch pedals. got a air duct blowing some air to the driver. i had a few probs getting the roll cage together, i had to do some tweeking to get it right. its going together pretty good other then that. i hate studio's kick with white metal......
