Well This is the Tamiya Testarossa (1984).But who hasnīt had a poster of it in th e`80s in its room?
The kit is in 1/24 at has the boxer 12 inside. The overall quality is good but there two flaws:One is that the rear deck lid doesnīt adjust properly for closing / opening it , the other is that the winshield part doesnīt much in size quite well with the body and leaves a noticiable gap in the A-Pillars. These things can be solved sanding a little bit here a little bit there , but...
Apart from it itīs obvious why I choose white on beige for the colour scheme right. But If I think it twice yellow on white would be stunning also, like the 348TS and LAmbo Silhouette I have to finish!.
Well ,the kit recommendable it is , but I donīt If thereīs a big leap in quality in referring to the 1/24 car from Monogram, may be not so.
Making a scratch built Spyder immitating the silver one-off of ex-Fiat owner Giovanni Agnelli would be a fine project also-

the model you see here was made many years ago , so youīll find flaws , itīs natural. MAy be a wax it one of these days.

Well thanks, but I do have around four visible things thatīd have to fix or, better, not to have done.
Anyway, I didnīt get much satisfied on it, It was better with the Pininfarina Mythos, which it had the same engine and underfloor of the Testarossa.
But, for an `80s child this car itīs must! to have. And may be Countach 5000 Quattrovalvole. This way Sonny Crockett would be proud of us.
