    OK, I talked to the shop owner and he said the car I ordered, Looksmart 499p #51 has not been delivered to anyone yet.

    Being a big CMC fan I can't wait to see the brand new 250 LM range in the metal.

    https://www.cmc-modelcars.de/en/products/models-118/ferrari/

    I just hope the quality right from the start will be better then their 275 release.

    CMC has massive problems with Ferrari
    looks like we will not see any GTO`s in the next month

    no green, white or blue/yellow ones

    they have "cleaned" their web site
    zero about GTO

    I wonder if whatever is going on will also affect their planned release of the 250 LM....

    Thanks for posting that David. I completely agree about checking facts before posting. I incorrectly assumed that the apparently wrong/misinformation had already been properly vetted before it was posted here.

    the problem is only with the GTO
    the GTO is an official work of art

    BBR and Looksmart pay License fees
    CMC does not

    we will see what happens

    you people do really think CMC has technical problems after they made several 1000 models

    After reading the comments on FB, if the issue is in fact due to licensing, how does this get resolved? Can Ferrari charge any amount they wish for the licensing fee, or arbitrarily just deny it? I hope it is resolved soon, with no price increase for the models. I did receive an emal from a dealer stating my preorder for 3445GT was available, and soon after I received a follow up email stating it was not ready.

    To clarify, after checking with those more knowledgeable than me it seems the emails I referenced in my post above were in fact just a clerical type error and not related to whatever is going on with the models. Let’s hope for a quick remedy to whatever the situation is.

    Hopefully the CMC 250 GTO situation is being resolved, the new releases are now showing on their website. (I read that they are visible to non-Italian IP addresses but I cannot verify that, maybe an FChat member from Italy could check the website)

    I'm not a fan of Tecnomodel, but sometimes they have a winner. This looks promissing. It's just a render for now, so let's wait and see. Several different colours and versions. I like the open headlight version.

    IMO... The headlights appears to be to forward on the Tecnomodel vs the real deal... thoughts?

    With Tecnomodel - it's always difficult to give a full critique from the advance images they show, which are always computer generated. So far, I think the open headlight version captures the car better than the covered headlights, but we have to wait and see.

    I had the same question. Is the R.C. AL a metallic red? And which one would be more accurate to the colors originally used on the real cars?

    That's roughly $1,720.00 US: I appreciate the copper metal, but that's quite pricey in my opinion.
