Hi everyone
After making of the F430 spider, I have started a new project on the F430 stradale concept. Basically, it would be based on the Fujimi F430 chalenge kit and the 360 stradale decal.
After spraying primer, I have test-built the kit. This kit is different from the hard-roof version which incorporated with engine hood marking on the body and different detail at the tail.

The fitting of this kit is good!

As usual, sanding away the moulding lines on the body.

and primer the body in pink.

Since I have made Ferraris models in black colour before, I would choose the red colour for the F430 stradale concept this time. The red is of Lummi Red by Finisher's paint.

After allowing to dry the body for 2 days, I have sprayed 2 layers of clear coat on it.

After drying for 4 days, I have sanding the body to level the thickness of the clear coat on the decal and do the compound job as well.

For the cockpit, I have only detailing the steering wheel.

and adding PE for the pedals as well. The interior was sprayed using texture paint.

For the body, the window frames and the windscreen were paints. For the side window, I finally decided to cut them off and allow them to remain open for better viewing the cockpit.

Up to now, only some more details to be added up before done.
