LaFerrari

This is a very nice super car to add to your collection I love this kit so much though I am not a huge super car guy it is always nice to add a super car or two to a car show diorama this kit was so much fun to build I have to pick up another one the details in this kit were awesome and defiantly worthy to pick up 5 out of 5 stars for sure for this kit I may buy a lot of super cars like this one and build a junkyard diorama in Dubai it would be really different to the other dioramas I have PROS: Nice casting, fun to build, detailed, NO super price for the super car CONS: I have yet to find an issue with this kit. If you are looking for a good super car kit or just want to build one you should consider picking this one up

First off, I have to say this is an very good model. This kit has over 140 pieces, which is more than normal. The decal sheet is excellent as there are more than 70 different decals, and are excellent. The only problem is they give you 2 sheets of mesh netting, and you have to cut out the patterns for the many air intakes on the body. They give you the option to install a clear piece over the opening and put a decal over it. The problem is they didn't give you this option for all of the openings, so if you use that option you still have to install some mesh over the openings. The major problem is the instructions. This instruction sheet is a joke. There are a lot of major errors on it. First off, on step 2 they call for the chassis to be painted steel. But on step 7 the rear air deflectors for the bottom of the chassis are to be painted semi gloss black. I painted the chassis semi gloss black, as every other Ferrari kit I've built had a semi black chassis. On step 12 it said to paint the rear hatch red. It didn't say what color to paint the inside of this part so I painted it semi gloss black. On step 14 it said to paint the side body panels and air ducts flat black. If you do this the body will have flat black panels instead of the red that shows on the box art. But the worst error is on step 12. There are no instructions on any colors on the body. You have to use the box art to figure out what colors to use and where to use them. It also shows a dark roof, and I didn't know what color it should be so I sent an email to Revell about this. 3 days later I got a reply. All they did was include a photo of the model and say it looks like black so go with that. I then noticed on the instructions they called for black metallic paint but didn't call out for it anywhere. So I used that on the roof and the engine compartment. I wish this was an isolated case, but I bought the model of the Boot Hill Express show car from a local hobby shop, and it also had instruction sheet errors, like telling you to install the steering column thru the floorboard from the top. If you do this the steering would not be attach to the front end. Revell needs to take a long look at their instructions. I recommend this kit, but you need to figure out all the errors in the instructions before you start
