1/18 news

I see now that the side profile is not quite right; door line is too high.

 

Crazy to see the same error repeated again and again : whatever says BBR on their website, their 1/18 model is not « the press version in Paris 1959 » (1539/GT) but another early SWB shown in the factory courtyard (the pic posted by Christian in this tread)...

 

Which model do you mean: BBR or KK-scalemodels?

 

So what happen to the side mirrors????

 

the SWB´s did´t have side mirrors
have a look at old black and white pics

Today I received the 1985 Ferrari 156/85 F1 driven by Alboreto by Tecnomodel. I'm not a fan of Tecnomodel, but compared to the version by GP Replica, this model actually looked really good in pictures and it doesn't disappoint in real life either. I also didn't want to wait on the Looksmart version.

I do have a question: in some adds separate Marlboro decals are included (you have to apply them yourself). I didn't get them with my example and the seller told me he also expected them to be included but somehow Tecnomodel decided to omit them. did anyone get this model *with* the decals?

I notice that ck-modelcars.de (no affiliation) have some KK-scale 1:18 models at half price right now including 330 GT and 365 GTC/4. See here https://ck-modelcars.de/en/l/a-18/teaser-2933/

 

Unless you have a TON of patience , ordering from CK modelecars, orCarModel,etc or any other dealers takes 3-6 weeks to get to the USA these days, horrible service by EMS, USPS-it used take just 8-10days.

 

The problem is US Customs! What used to arrive in 2 days at most using FedEx Next Day now takes 8-10 days.

It also depends on where you live in the US. The coasts are a mess as alot of stuff goes into NYC/JFK and LA/LAX. I live in the middle and I get most shipments pretty fast unless they route into JFK or LAX. MIA/ATL/CVG/IND/MEM/DFW/ORD are running pretty well still as is ANC/SEA. Cali is a major mess as usual.

 

There were stickers on the bottom of the pedestal

What's your opinion on this 166? I really want this car for my collection, i passed the tecnomodel because it was crap, this one looks better to me, but is it good enough? Please chime in guys.
Marshall, you are an expert 0n this car, what do you think about it?

Don't waste your money. It is a terrible model, and looks like a cheap toy. Numerous mistakes/flaws/inaccuracies.

 

In all photographs I could fin the #22-wearing ('49 Le Mans winner?) has additional deflectors after the rear wheel arch.

 

horrible

lets begin with the size of the tires
the #22 in the front
the third headlight

..Yap, i started to look more closely and the mistakes kept popping out....at least the tecno had better finish...oh well, i guess this place will remain empty on my shelf.....i want one so bad!!! How come those idiots at Mattel didn't used their 166 (wich was rather decent in my opinion) to make this version!!!

 

Well, Mattel never made this version because as you correctly put it, they are "idiots."

 

Crap...complete junk model... multiple errors

 

I guess that sums it up!

 

Surely not with the plate: 166 MM!!!!!

 

I'm totally bummed... I received my Teconomodel Ferrari 156-85 Stefan Johansson #28 car today via ebay, as I unpacked and opened the box, I notice it was broken.. This is my second Teconomodel that arrived damaged, as there was no packing material help protect the most fragile part of the car, its rear wing! I might be able to repair it. Has anyone else experiencing the same problems???

That's so annoying.

Crazy on such expensive models they don't take more care with packing material.

 

It would be better if it was designed in that the spoiler comes seperately and is then slotted in place once safely delivered.
