    I am trying to get him to print a 1/24th 155 body so you can convert the Tamiya 155 v6TI kit to a FIA Supertouring model. I gave up on that other company in Italy called Scale Car Art. They are a bunch of crooks, do not order from them.

    So I now have the printed 1/24th 1952 Pegaso Z-102 “Cupula" by AMF Modelcars and it is a work of art model. I have never seen so much cleanup done on a kit pre sale. He has tiny screws holding it togther pre test fitted, so be careful when you take it apart for the first time to paint. Amazing printing and detail. No photoetch but many tiny printed parts and very top quality vacuform for the rear window. He will print it in many scales. I wonder what the 1/12th would be like??

    It's not inexpensive and now I know why.

    I received the 1/12th Hiro 333SP today and it cost $582.00 including shipping. This price is only good for pre-orders.

    It's all in the timing. I had a response within about 20 minutes just a little while ago. LOL.

    That Hiro clue looks very Mclaren FORD Cosworth mid 1970's to me.

    Tom, did you receive this model already? Would be interesting to see pictures from below, and which are the single parts delivered.

    None of the 1/24th F1 cars yet. I have two of the regular bodies and they are very good.

    I have the Tyrrell and Mclaren MP4/6 in 1/24th scale so far. The Mclaren is ok and the correct shape but not that detailed. The tires are great but the wheels are wrong. The Tyrrell boomerang is very cool and pretty accurate with some amazing detail in some areas. The wheels are not bad and strange just like the real car. I will order the 312B and M7 later.

    Damn. Christoph Ulrich's new Youtube video has me really thinking about this model again! Too bad I prefer the 2017 livery. Ah well, can't have everything.
