1/18 news

Some good stuff here, but I hope they do some 333 SP in Le Mans version, not interested in the one already made or announced...

 

I just bought and received the BBR 333SP. Very nice model.

 

Thanks. For some reason I always liked the original 333 SP more than the later updated version. Detail and paint is a lot better on the BBR compared to the HW, but that's okay because they're in a different price range. The HW is a fine model on its own. I've got two HWs and still have a Tremonia detailing kit lying around. I'll probably sell those off once I've moved house.

 

I hope they do the P4 in yellow

Knowing BBR... it will be two years before they release any of these 1:18's.... That's the down-side to pre-ordering from BBR

 

Yes, it is a P3.

 

the one I want is a 412P serial 0850

 

For me, it looks more a 412P ?

 

Maybe it is a 412P. I haven't bothered to check or look much. I just know it's not a P4.

 

330 P3 0844
DNF Le Mans 1966 Bandini / Guichet

so what is the difference between 330P3 - 330P3/4(412P) - 330 P4 ??
we don't talk about the engine ........

You both were right, I was wrong:

Lots of differences between a P3 and a P4.

First of all the body is more different than you see at first glance..
Headlights and nose have different dimensions, and the headlights are a lot bigger.
If you look at the side profile, the "waistline" of the P3 is a straightline across the entire side. The P4 engine cover has longer sides.
Cooling in the front and the bulge in the front outlet in the nose is only P3.
nose intake is different in shape.
engine and gearbox are different.

The P3 is (in my opinion) the best looking car from the entire P series..

 

What's your opinion on the tires? They look a bit simplistic to me, compared to the ones on the CMR version. On the other hand, the bodyshape is better on the Tecnomodel, especially around the wheel arches.

 

Very nice Pedro! Yes probably one of their best. Similar in overall improvements as with their new release of the Aston Martin DP 214 which I have.

 

You're welcome Pedro. Yes, I hope they are listening, but I'm not going to count on that. Time will tell with their next several releases. It should be interesting to see what other models they produce this year and how the accuracy and detail will be.

 

Replicarz has announced some future releases of 1:18 models, and on their list is the 1949 Le Mans winning 166 MM Barchetta. They don't have the full name as it should be, and as written here. I wonder if they will get this one right or screw it up badly just as they did with their Scarab. Time will tell.....
