What is the best 1/10 or 1/12 F430?

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.

 

Here's a few on the bay

And this one matches your car best. Even comes with luggage.

But, but......... it comes with luggage.

 

Yes AND the detail is unbelievable.

 

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!

 

Here is the thread on the F430 GT that I got two years ago, which still works fine by the
way! I got it from a seller in CA for $12.95. Not sure if I still have his info, but I'll check.
