    Another kit in 1/12th and 1/8th printed by Classic Museum. Their stuff is looking much better than it used to. Definitely worth another look. Looks like they cast metal for the window frames. Alot of glue and filler for the body:eek:

    914/6 and California also available in 1/12th and 1/8th printed.

    Also, someone who does not know history got their hands on the old Accurate Miniatures Grand Sport kits. They never ran in this color. The scale is also 1/24th not 1/25th!! The kit is very good, although the wheel center is slightly under sized. Why is it the diecast makers are better at accuracy than the plastic kit makers?

    How would you rate their 962? It's a lot more reasonable than the one from Germany, lol.

    I don't have the 962 from Germany, but I do have his 917/10 in 1/12th scale. It depends on who did the design work on the 962. His 917/10 is better than the old CM models.

    I have the FPPM 1/24th Alfa Romeo 12C and it is a stunner, maybe his best ever. The fit is very tight. He is now doing part of the kits printed, and the body resin. His research is better than almost anyone else, so this new form of making the master's is putting him ahead of almost everyone. The Maserati Indy cars will be very much something to look forward to.

    You have to see the printed grill and silencers for the exhaust on this model. And the 12C motor. Plus, the front suspension is printed. Very high detail that will amaze you!!

    I just order the 350 GT in 1/12 and a kit for the Countach engine in 1/8.
    I bought from them many years ago a Miura and a Gallardo in 1/12, it was only a body , no interior, but not so bad ;)

    I usually try not to be hypercritical, especially when a model hasn't yet been released, but they've not been looking at the right pictures / video on this one. That rear clamshell is wrong for starters - far too angular and doesn't flow properly. I think Doyusha did it better.
