    Not sure why they would not do a 250/275P or P2 instead of this car. Strange choice.

    I have my Chaparral 2J. They sent it Monday in Tokyo and I have it today in Chicago. They have a Fed Ex 777F that flies direct from Narita nonstop to ORD.

    Talk about fast. And the model is fantastic. I hope they do more Chaparrals in 1/12th scale!! The 2C, 2D, 2E, 2F, 2H. And the 2A Sebring winner all in 1/12th. That would be amazing.

    Hiro September 1/12th kit. French, maybe a Matra 670B?
    I love those cars, they sound as good as almost any Ferrari, but in their own way.

    So, a Matra, but which one?? I would guess the 1972 Lemans 670 short tail and long tail, maybe if they want a long tail winner the 1973 LM car.

    New from Classic Museum Models, the Ferrari 250 California in 1/8th and 1/12th scales. He used 3D printing for this one, so it looks much better. The wire wheels look great, but so did his hand laced wires. Worth looking into. The tires are too low profile. Have not looked the body over carefully.

    Nice list from Classic Museum Models...I can't recall, but did they offer a 1/8 scale (yes, 1/8) of the Fiat Bartoletti 642 transporter used by the Ferrari team? I thought I saw the kit on eBay several years ago...I think this was before 3D printing became a standard...

    hello guys,

    Have you also had issues with orders placed with DM Modelkit shop ?

    I’m currently experiencing the worst order I ever had !

    My order for more than 200 euros is probably lost or has never leaved the shop (who knows ?) and I’m trying to be reimbursed but suddenly nobody at DM even wants to answer my e-mails ?

    is it just nonsense, theft or scam ?

    If I may warn you, think twice before ordering with them !

    Regarding the MFH Matra, I will differ if I may - a splendid choice of model in my view, continuing to fill out the range of 60's/70's Grand Prix offerings by MFH. A good number of versions, too. Many other cars have also been modeled in the past, yet better ones welcomed again? Countless. Years ago I built the Tamiya Matra. It was rickety when you tried to handle or move it, and the tires collapsed flat after three years (as they did on the Tamiya 312B, Lotus 49, etc.- perhaps they later solved this problem). A good basis for MFH offering the Matra MS670 in the future? Having seen Matra's race in period, I vote thumbs-up. The scream of a V12 Matra is electric.
