Ferrari 458 Italia (Revell)

Hi, here are the photos from my build of the Ferrari 458. Completed in June 2011.

I like the subject matter. Basically the painting appears okay, but it is kind of hard to tell. Is there any way to get some additional shots that are a bit more in focus. Nice to see you posting here. Bill Eh?

Yeah, apologies for the quality of the images. I took them with my Blackberry. I will use a proper didigtal camera when I am documenting the build of my SLS AMG. The Ferrari was only the second model I have ever done so the painting might leave a little to be desired in some parts.

Thansk for the feedback Bill.

I would love to see more of this one; i just received my kit in the mail last week and am anxious to start on it.

Hi guys. ajulia, the kit assembly was absolutely fine. The brake calipers ended up a little strange though. Although the rear calipers are meant to be opposite to the front ones, the only way i could fix mine on were facing the same direction. Other than that everything was fine. I had the usual heart stopping moments trying to fix the chassis onto the engine but i have found that tricky with both Revell models I have done.

Tonio, I will definitely post some more pictures up. Let me use a proper digital camera to take them this time. Have fun building yours!

Thanks for the info! As soon as I figure out a color for mine, I'll get started on it!
