This is the excellent Revell 1/24 kit, done in the style of the Cali that Top Gear took down the world's deepest road tunnel in Norway a few issues back. In terms of building, the only issue I found was that you need to fit the ?radio/aircon? controls at the front of the central console (part 41) the opposite way to the picture in the instructions, so that the interior will fit up against the dashboard and allow you to close the whole body without breaking something. But when you do close it, the precision of the fit is VERY impressive...

The exterior is Zero "Bianco Fuji" with two-pack clear-coat. The interior is Citadel acrylics, replicating a pattern I had fun making in the Ferrari.com configurator. The rear panel, diffuser and front wing are in carbon fibre - another configurator option!

Overall, I'd recommend this kit highly. Bring on the 458s...

Matt, that looks great! It does look to fit very well when all closed up.

Did the suspension need much adjustment? By that I mean how well does it sit out of the box?

The only concern I have is from the photo of the wheels turned, has a cockeyed look to it. I suspect it's something to do with how Revell ustilizes the steering parts.

Definitely a fan of that color.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, Chris, and don't worry, that's just me not pushing the tyre and wheel back into place properly and not noticing until AFTER I'd taken the pics... :rolleyes:

The profile shows the "sit" straight out of the box. I didn't adjust anything...

bestest,
