F430 GT2, GRP Bodykit
JustMe - 9-11-2007 at 17:06

For everybuddy interested in a FIA GT eligable Ferrari 430 listen up:

Within two weeks I will receive a good 430 GT master, kindly provided by Big Al Patterson. Then I'll need a few weeks to transform this master into a slotracing compatible kit. It will include:
a carbon body between 24-28 grams
a lexan interieur, windows and lightglasses
ruuber arms and a resin driver-head and steering wheel
a rear wing
a rubber diffuser, wingsupports and mirrors
8 ready to paint inserts (7 Y-spoke BBS)

Costing still the same as all my other kits; 150 Euro
If the Decal search should come up with good stuff I will include these in the kit for costprice.

I'll try to let the first kits roll out the door before the end of the year.

Cheers,
Nick de Wachter

Hello Kai

The Postman hasn't rang twice...yet
But Al used the Revell F430 to make his master, he said he slightly modified the wheelarches so it should be some 82mm wide.
Wich should make it more than competible with its main rival the Porsche 997.

Al is also reworking his decals for the #50 & 51 AF Corse Motorola cars, I thought you might be inetrested in those as well

I started to built my Ferrari during last weekend. My choice was Fujimi body. It is cheap and light but narrower. I don't know if it is good enough for EEC. I hope so.

Hello Kai
If you want some tips on how to convert your F430 street kit into a GT2 Fia GT read this article "Converting a F430 into a F430 GTR (updated)" by Henri van Gool

It does not matter what body you choose to make your F430 GT2 as long as its a correct model of the car you suscribed with

Yes, it was very useful article. I found it some days ago.

Wow!

This was the article I was looking for! This ist very helpful for superbing my F430 kit. But I´ll prefer the F430-Challenge from Fujumi, because this model kit includes the better rear diffusor with the real exhaustpipes.

Perhaps I´ll press the body in resine or gfk, so more Slotter will have the chance to build a F430 GT fow low money!

Best regards
Marcus
