MFH just posted a - well - a strange photo on their website:
http://modelfactoryhiro.com/shop/version.jpg
No caption, nothing? I see TdF and 330LMB there, and few others that were already released. Thoughts?

Yep, seen on a French forum.

I'm a bit perplexed: why offers the GTA and the 904 that exist in the form of good kits? (Not to mention the Cobra, and the TZ1 & TZ2 that were produced years ago and still avaiable from HTM).

Anyway, I hope they'll release soon the TdF and the 330.

Anyone bought the 550 Spyder? I'm would like first hand impressions.

What 904? I can't ID the car in this photo, but the one that looks a little like a 904 is clearly not a 904.

That's an Abarth. The 550 is the road version. They should have done the PANAM/Lemans factory cars. The GTAM by Gunze is all wrong, by the way.
I did a body/wheels transkit years ago to convert the Tamiya GTA. The
HTM TZ1 and TZ2 are copies of the Japanese TC/Iceberg and EX models kits made in the early 1990's.

Hope they do more Ferrari's soon. I really want a 330LMB, Monza, 500TRC and 315/335!!!

Good to know!

MY God a 315/335 with big Lampredi would be fantastic, and 750 Monza and 500TR too!

Yep looks like I watch the picture too quick!

The 330 LMB and the TDF are very appetizing, let's hope they release them after the yen get's back to usual exchange rates.

I'm afraid I am not terribly good with marques and models etc.
When you say Arbarth above, did you possible mean this one - the 356 derived GTL Carrera? If yes, that would be a dream answered for me!

Sorry to disappoint you, but it's not that one.
Take a good look to the roof and the engine cover! It's the Abarth 750 GT "Double Bubble" (bodied by Zagato I think).

Buuuu ;( ;)

Ioan, I guess you are using FireFox 3.0.3?
If you are, right-click on the "edit" button and select open in new tab. Then you will have the edit post frame to work in.
Maybe one day AF admin will get around to fixing this bug......? :rolleyes:

The car that looks like a 904 Porsche, but clearly isn't a 904 ;) , is a 1965 Abarth OT 1300 Prototype (IMHO).

So, the 2 "porsches" are in fact 2 Abarths! :)

New pics on the website suggest they will be doing an RSR and P68 too. Where are the Ferraris though? They had removed previous picture, too.

Maybe they show pictures with their protos on their site and than wait to see the reaction on the forums, they do this several times to decide what model to produce next! :screwy:
