    Don't think that you'll find any in those scales. Best bet 1/18 from BBR or 1/8 from Amalgam.

    Yep, haven't seen a 1/10 or 1/12 F430, but BBR makes a fantastic F430 in 1/18.

    Thanks guys. Didn't realize I'd have to pay 1/18th of the price of the car for the model...

    By the way, how much did you think you would have to spend on a 1/10 or 1/12 scale?! :)

    There are some Ferrari approved 1/10 and 1/7 scale F430s, both spider and berlinetta. These are R/C cars, the the body proportions and detailed interiors are very accurate.

    There also is a 1/7 Schumacher F1, Enzo, 599, and the F430GT of Melo. I just clip off the antenna, they look wonderful. They make all of them in 1/10 along with Raikkonen's WDC car.

    The 1/7s are the best. Street cars come in red with the tan interior.

    The only problem is getting them in the states. The 599 is available on Ebay, but the others I had to buy when I am in Mexico at Sears and Walmart.

    Go to my website http://www.collectorstudio.com and type in F430 in the search engine at the top and you will see a variety of models - including the awesome 1/8 scale 2 foot long models made to match your car exactly........Let me know if you like any of these.

    I'm guessing that's a non-starter.

    If you ever see a US source please come back and post it. The only place on Ebay listing the F430 GT is in Australia. Thanks!
