Here it is with D50:

Glad to see their doing more old stuff again. I have a copy of the earlier D50 with the faired-in fuel pods. My plan was going to be to convert it to outrigger pods but it looks like Hiro is doing it for us. Any idea yet whether these new bodies will be resin or white metal? My old D50 is entirely white metal and weighs a ton!

EDIT: After looking at the other pics on the Hiro website it looks like it will be more white metal for the D50 changes. Hiro also intend to only produce 70 units of each variant which seems quite low to me.

I don't normally build 1/20th, but the Hiro Lancia D50 and Ferrari 801 might make me change my policy!!!
