A hard to find kit in an Italeri box, but it turns out that it's been reboxed for the domestic Korean market by Academy, as "European Classic Car". No mention of the maker, nor any Cavallino Rampantes on the box art or decal sheet. However, all the bits are there, and it can be had for a bit less than £20 delivered from eBay. Some detailing under the bonnet to fill the empty space, with a fair few bits and pieces liberated from the spares box or scratch-built. Otherwise it's pretty much OOB. Colour is a home-brew "Vinaccia" (so much nicer than "Aubergine") made with Zero paints components, and the interior is Ferrari "Tobacco" aka Vallejo Tanned Flesh with a dash of yellow added...

bestest,

real nice model here Matt, and thanks a lot to evidence the availability of this (still) nice car from italeri

Awesome build as usual!

Matt,
Looks great.

Trevor

Nice color! Are the seats stock, or did you get them from another kit?

beautiful car and lovely color, great job

A truly beautiful result! However with the white background the colour isn't really showing, the car looks almost black.
I hope you can still fix the right headlight!

Thanks, all!

Alex -- I already did ;-P I must have knocked it sideways while moving the car around for the pictures!

It's a tricky colour to photograph, for sure. It is _almost_ black. I'll try a few more with different backgrounds, but I already know it doesn't work at all on black!

All the best,
Matt

Beauty!

Beautiful Build!!!
