    The Mini Delta 860 Monza will surely be on display at Retromobile, Paris, beginning Wednesday February 2 2011.

    I guess the sale price will be above 20 000 Euros as is usually the case.

    I never had the chance to meet Patrice de Conto. But, his team mate Patrick Badot is a very nice guy. Both are very talented modelers.

    More kits from MFH Hiro of Japan. A trankit to turn the 1/12th Tamiya Mclaren M23(pictured) into the 1976 and 1977 versions and 2 1/20th scale M23 trankits for the Tamiya M23. Also some nice figures in 1/20th and 1/12th scale(can you guess who the figure is of ?).

    Hiro is also starting a book series. The P34 and Lotus 87T are the first two.

    Sigh...I wish Hiro would get back to LM Ferraris..... F1 is cool and all that, but where are the cars that were promised to us years ago?

    I did read that. Sad news for a very original designer.

    Dear Gilles,
    Thank you for your nice comments. Hope to see you again at Retromobile in February. I am afraid you are wrong about the price of the 860 Monza and of our other 1/8th scale models, they are about three times less expensive than the one stated.

    Ditto to what Moriaan said. These are works of art!! It is an honor to put photos of your companies models on ferrarichat. I consider you and Patrice the best in the business.

    Please...im begging you to make more large scale model kits in any large scale you decide:)

    Another new 1/43rd kit by Minerva 43, the Ferrari 250 Breadvan Lemans 1962. A very expensive kit.

    I bit the bullet and am doing the APM/Revell 1/12th scale 250 Breadvan. Its taking alot of work to get it into shape. Every vent was wrong and the front needed a nose job. I was looking at photos of the real car as restored now and the nose is still wrong for Lemans 1962. They added tabs to the center nose hole and forgot the vent up by the cockpit. They also forgot the engine cover metal scoop. The big problem is the cockpit itself. They changed it after around 1964 so they could put it up for sale. The dashboard was heavily modified and has never been changed back. I will show photos of my 1/12th Breadvan under the Ferrari Expo thread later this week. By the way, Minerva 43 seem to have the cockpit correct!!

    Just so everyone knows, the Pink Pig is out from MFH and it includes a spare driver's door that you can use after you cut the one from the body out. Awesome kit, but limited to 100 pcs so if you want one, hurry up and get it. I know several have already been claimed.
