Amalgam announced F40 1/8

Ferrari F40 at 1:8 scale - Amalgam Fine Collection

Greetings Christian

 

This is amazing!

 

I hope the pics show the prototype!

If it is the final modell i´m not in because too much details i don´t like.

 

several 1:12's with better detail, so why would you get it in 1:8.. The only reason would be if you have more amalgam's.

 

Doesn't look hugely superior to the old Pocher F40 which can be had fairly cheaply.

 

+1
The Pocher kit and the Autograph transkit for less than half the cost will make this one look like a Mattel. You will need serious modelling skills however.

 

I absolutely love it!!

Don't love the price though.

Thanks for sharing.

 

too bad i'm not a rich guy...

 

I sold all my 1/43, 1/18 and 1/12 years ago and since that i only collect Amalgam 1/8.

Ok, collect is a big word for the less models i have...

 

which ones do you have? The classic Ferrari's are very good!

To me Amalgam's are bit to "clean"..
I like the personal touch most professional builders have.
Its like the Ralph Lauren garage. The cars are better looking than new, I like them as Original as possible, Patina gives the cars a life.. they are not new.

 

+1

I can barely afford 1:18 Hotwheels models these days.

 

same here mate...but when i get one, it´s a lovely feeling!!

 

I've never looked at the models until today. Checked out the website, and almost fell to the floor when I saw the price. Just like the really thing, in price too!

 

100% agree for Patina!

I have the very first 1/8 F40s being made coming to the gallery in a week. Email for pix this model really does blow the Pocher version away - even those I have had with transkits.......

Morry

 

Is the final model better than the pics on the Amalgam website?

Greetings Christian

 

The F150 is one I would rather sell than the 250 cali..

 

Nonsense. It is a nice model, but the Pocher done right makes this one look like a toy. Sorry, couldn't resist, I am a Pocher dealer since 1995.

Hi Stefane, I agree with you.
That's why I'm creating the transkit for the Pocher lamborghini aventador.
6.000 us dollars for a model is only for a limited group of people.
I believe that creating a transkit will make everybody have the opportunity to afford a decent model fully detailed.

 

Sometime i will get the 250 California again, but in another colour.

 

Sure is!

 

Awesome!

 

There are things about the Pocher which do not look as good as the Amalgam (look/feel/scale of the steering wheel, shifter/knob, dashboard, etc.). What about installing the transkit into the Amalgam to give it the details it lacks?

Just a thought.....

 

Salut Stephan,
Great model here, very detailed car. Pocher was in end 80 the best on market, and today is a reference.
Concerning amalgam, yes their models looks new, but all cars a new when they start production.
Patine it s question of patience.

 

This model is amazing - as usual I got the first ones made........email me for more photos.
