    I now have the Mini Delta P3 Sebring Spider kit in 1/12th scale. This was a pre production example without directions but with all the many sheets of photoetch and perfect resin parts. The tread pattern on the Dunlop's are amazing and very accurate for the 1966 car.

    This has to be the best curbside 1/12th resin kit ever made in my opinion. Hiro could learn a thing or two from Mini Delta(Hiro 1/12th kits are fantastic but Mini Delta really knows how to bring out the details with the use of photoetch and other tricks of the trade).

    I will post photos soon. Get this kit when it becomes available. It is very limited and worth every penny.


    You can see it at the Ferrari Expo 2015 near Chicago USA on Saturday March 21st.

    I am missing the bags of rivets in the picture.. :)

    Patrick told me they made a new kind of rivet, more realistic and with a dent in the midle.. Talking about detail...

    You can be sure this is a kit you need to have!! Saw the first built modell (by Patrice) in Paris.

    Simply mindblowing!

    I am still looking for a set of 1/12 13" Dunlops for a 1964-65 F1 car. Does anyone have any leads?

    The new rivets are interesting. The etch parts are nickel silver and aluminum. Amazing stuff.

    The 1/8 Model Rossi Miura is still current, and I don't see why the shape is wrong.
    I had a 1/1 scale Miura for 20 years, and now have a Model Rossi 1/8 model, built by Rossano, and it looks absolutely right to me.
    Perhaps you could point out the errors.

    Looks like a fine one for some race patina.

    Not as much as you might think. Part of the problem is the silver vent frame. It might be slightly big.

    Here is a original photo of the vent painted black on a P4.

    Its about 1/3rd larger than it should be ... real pity because it looks silly IMO.

    Should be the same size as the centre part of the steering wheel.

    I have not seen anyone yet, although a few used to list Mini Delta. You might be better off ordering direct so you don't miss it as this will be limited.

    Yep, just got mine. I like how they show you the pile of precut and bent spokes on their web site but you open the box to find a bundle of stainless wire you have to cut and bend. LOL

    I kind of like the front windscreen surround method better in the '64 kit.
