Ferrari F430GT RISI LM07

[SCUDERIA-FERRARI]

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......

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.
