This lilttle car in 1/8th scale was the star of the large size vehicle models on the Novegro Model Show in Milan 2005. And that's completely correct, because it is beautifully worked and totally inspired me at first sight. I love it! But see yourself:
The outstanding model will be available starting from November 2005, in various versions and color combinations (see price list standing down). Select as with the order of a correct car: Apart from the suitable equipment the colors of the Interieurs and the external finish could be choosen. The sun roof is functional, all hoods and doors can be opened and in the engine compartment there is a lovely detailed engine!
Materials: The body consists of a special glass-fiber-strengthened Epoxy-resine and belongs to the best and most precise, what I saw so far. Only one example: the fastening spots at the body for the chassis are trained brass nuts with fine thread. The windows are injected plexiglass parts, just as with a mass production Japanese model car kit! They are installed as with the real car with the help of an extruded rubber profile, which is drawn in between window and body. A large quantity of white metal parts as well as several plates of accurately drawn photo etching parts complete this beautiful kit.
Also the proportions correspond to the original model in all details. Many affectionately arranged details result in an altogether excellent impression. And the best: You can order the kit with pre-painted body! So you would not have to do that often not very beloved work of lacquer finish! Result: This is not a Ferrari, but as a model at least just as interesting and according to my opinion also suitable as a project for new modelers in the large scale!
