This is the Revell of Germany Ferrari F430 Spyder kit. I painted the body with Cobra Colors Grigio Titanio lacquer and cleared it with PPG Urathane clear.



Here is the finished interior. I used Tamiya Acrylic flat red and worked it over with some finger oil to give it a little bit of sheen. The carbon fiber decals are from Scale Motorsport and the photoetched stuff is from Crazy Modeler.

Lookin good!! Not normally a fan of red interiors, but it looks really cool with the body color you've chosen..

Hi James!

Beautiful work so far! But I wouldn't expect anything less from you!

I don't know much about these types of cars but that is very clean work! 8)

Nice job what color red is that for the interior?

[Tom Kren]

never mind that last question.

I got some time to do a little more work on the Ferrari. Here is the finished engine. I used several different shades of metallizers to shade the metallic finishes and the Crazy modeler photoetched parts to add a little style to the basically box stock engine. Next up is the front suspension, paint and attach the photoetched grilles and then final assembly...

Looking good James!
I have one in the pipeline, but not a convertible. My plan is to do it silver with either red or black interiors.

Thanks,

[JayVee]

Looks really nice in those colors.

I decided to take a few pictures of the progress that I have made before I wrap up this project.

I used the Crazy Modeler brakes with some parts box wheel adapters and brake shoes. The wheels will glue to the center hubs.





The rear windscreen was scratch built with some mesh I had laying around and some clear acetate for the window.



Some Pegasus rims donated their sleeves to dress up the stock rims. I also swapped out the front tires for the larger/wider Pegasus tires.

James, your F430 looks fantastic! I have one planned too, in exactly the same color. Part of my Miami Vice builds. I have to finish the Testarossa before I can get to it though.
Look forward to seeing the assembled masterpiece!
