Finally bought the Ferrari F430 Scuderia and the grade up parts by Hobby Design, this is the third of the four models in my watch list . Although I didn't bought the F430 Challenge, I know some of the parts are newly designed for this kit, the most obvious parts include the body, engine header, and the seats. The model is the standard Fujimi model kits, the construction is same as for F430 and the challenge versions, no surprise at all.
The grade up parts are from Hobby Design ("HD"), ever since I bought the PE grade up parts for the 250 TR, I don't have confidence in the quality of HD products. Unfortunately, HD is the only company who manufacture the full set of PE for Scuderia (although Fujimi will issue the PE in the later time, and I'm sure it should have better quality than HD's, it is not a full complete set), so I have to live with the HD quality again. The PE has provided all mesh parts, full detailed disc brakes, and rear hood. Although I have not start assembling the parts, I think some of them are excessive by the glance. For instant, the disc brake, which compose of 6 PE parts, however, based on my experience, if the wheels have been put on, you can hardly see how detail and nice of the discs. So I think I would rather stick one PE on the face of the model-provided disc would do the job nicely.
Until I start working on the model, nothing further I can comment at this point.
