I bought the 575 GTC from Tecnomodel and my friend P64 built the Lm 2004 version a few months ago. The quality is outstanding, let me say a Tamiya made of resin. I'll re-post the pictures of the kit in the next days and ask Alessandro to post the pictures of his 575.

Tecnomodel was one of the technical sponsors of the contest Monza Models 2006. In that occasion they unveiled the master of their F430 GT and I was able to get some closer shots. Enjoy.

If yes do you think they had to fill the window's hole in that manner? manually?
Man, they have a good hand to me.

I know where I will spend my money

I just watched a couple of them race at the ALMS race at Mosport yesterday. They also finished 1 and 2 in the GT2 class, so I want one more than ever!

Excellent news, though I have one question:
i)RobiJ: do you know if Tecnomodels will release the Risi Competizione version, or any other race versions? I believe the kit will be of the 'presentation' car, and so will not carry any actual sponsorship markings. I intend to write to Tecnomodels to implore them to make the Risi car (if I knew how to post pics, I could try to post one I took with Stephane Ortelli standing beside it). If the Risi car is not made, I think I will wait for them to do it, or will go with BBR's 1/43 kit.

ii)Tire Giant: as for quality, no worries. Tecnomodels' stuff is outstanding. As good, maybe even better, than Studio 27 models. A 'Tamiya resin kit' as someone wrote. I have one of their 1/43 F575 GT kits, and am waiting for a 1/24 'Baron Connor Racing' F575 GT to arrive. Only drawback is they are more expensive, but then again, quality is never cheap!

desmo16 > I spoke with them during the mentioned contest and they told me that, for the debut (Dec 2006/Jan 2007), the versions available will be Risi Competizione Sebring 2006 and Scuderia Ecosse Lm 2006. At the moment I do not have additional infos. End of September, near Milano, a Model Expo will take place and I guess, as usually they're doing, there will be further news.

Thank you, Roberto.
It's settled, then (for me, anyways). The Risi Competizione version is the one I will wait for. Knowing Tecnomodels, it will be a fantastic model!
I have e-mailed them, and if there is any additional info to add to what you have written above, I will post it here.
