    This question is addressed to those of you, Maserati lovers, who also collect scale model cars :

    Profil 24, a French kit producer, already offers a 1/24th scale model kit of the Maserati 450S Coupe that raced at Le Mans in 1957. There is another company that has issued, many years ago, a 1/24 scale resin kit of the same car, but in its current long wheelbase configuration (curved windshield, longer doors, full interior comfort, etc).

    Does anyone of you have informations about this kit that was issued by a Japanese company I think ?

    Thanks for any help.

    I think the company was Zaco from Japan. I saw this kit back in the 1990's, as Mike Quarterman(UMI) had one. It was trash. Mike almost
    gave it to me for free. Motoi had a few of them, and they were very expensive even for Japanese resin. Your best bet is to convert the Profil24 kit. Avoid this kit!!!!!
