Fujimi Ferrari F430 Challenge
Hi Guys and Gals! As can be seen by my post count, I'm more of a lurker than a poster. To be completely honest with all of you, I look at what is being posted here and I am blown away! I do not have the knowledge base of F1 or the modeling skills that most of you possess. Frankly I am a little intimidated! I know, I know, you all are good people and would not put me down but I just don't want to embarrass myself. With that being said, I am going to start working on my F1 stash sooner than later. I have a few more closed cockpit cars to build.
Fresh off the bench is this Fujimi Ferrari F430 Challenge. This seems to be a fairly rare kit in that you just don't see it built very often and you don't see them for sale too much. She is built box stock and will be entered in some model contests in that category. I think it is a very cool livery. I hope you all enjoy it.

Re: Fujimi Ferrari F430 Challenge
Thank you! No, I don't have a picture of this car. Let me clarify. I have seen many advertisements for a diecast model of this car. I know that you can't always trust that the diecast maker got the details correct, but it really was all I could find. On another model forum, a very knowledgeable member posted one picture of the rear of this car. That was it...lol. This same member posted several pictures of this teams cars with slightly different liveries but never this exact one.11110111 wrote:Looks sweet! Do you have a picture of the actual car?
If I'm allowed and/or if it is not bad form, I can post a link to the pictures on the other forum.
Thanks!

Re: Fujimi Ferrari F430 Challenge
Love the Ferrari, turned out very nice indeed. I'm a big fan of the F430, and have built 3 different versions, and the livery on yours is certainly unique and cool.
Looking forward to seeing more of your work.
Cheers,
Chris

Re: Fujimi Ferrari F430 Challenge
Wow!! I literally spent hours over the course of this build looking for pictures of this car, and boom, you found it in no time at all...lol. I Googled the car, the driver, the series and more and never found one single picture. Thanks for finding it!stubeck wrote:I was able to find this, https://binged.it/2QT7XH911110111 wrote:Looks sweet! Do you have a picture of the actual car?

Re: Fujimi Ferrari F430 Challenge
Hi,
It is a very beautifully built F430. With that many sponsorship decals on it, it must be quite a challenge.
I hope you can post more of your work here in the future.

Re: Fujimi Ferrari F430 Challenge
Thank you! Yes, I spent several evenings laying down the decals. There are a number of them that lay down on top of another decal so I had to make sure of the order that I applies them.CK wrote:Hi,
