I am not very fond of the Ferrari's but this one even looks mean and fast in black. Good job on your build

I've heard that the Revell kit is a fiddly build. In the end it looks like you turned out a good looking model, with lots of nice carbon fiber decal work in the engine bay.
BTW, aren't all Ferrari's supposed to be red?

I myself thought these only came in Red and Yellow, but when searching the internet for research photo's, I came across Black, Blue, Silver, Green ones and even a Pink one. Originally I was going to do it in basic Black, but then changed my mind and went with the Metallic Black.
The Revell kit is a sod to build. There are fitting issues all over the model, especially the body to the chassis. There was also plenty of gaps in the engine that needed to be filled. Also, the bonnet/hood is slightly wider then the bodyshell, but the Tamiya kit has the same problem too.

Looks fantastic. It would look even better sitting in my garage.
