Revell's
458 Italia has to be the most amazing new Ferrari kit I've seen since
Tamiya released it's Enzo in 2003. Every part is molded cleanly and fits
exactly where it's supposed to making for a very enjoyable build. On
top of this the detail is astounding down to a tiny chrome prancing
horse for the nose and a headliner insert for the interior which is
first in any kit I've seen. The only issues I had are the same issues
universal to all Revell of Germany Ferrari's which were tail lights
molded in clear instead of transparent red and the wheels which
unrealistically trap the brakes between the two wheel halves, an easy
enough problem to fix with a pin vise, hobby knife, and brass rod. I
modeled my 458 as a black body on a dual tone black/tan interior after
one I had seen on the Ferrari of Beverly Hills website and this came out
looking much better than my first plan electric green over black
scheme. I enjoyed this kit so much I purchased a few more intending to
build a fleet in different colors and possibly convert one to a 458
Challenge version.
