Anyone knows the origins of this one?

If you make it, people will buy it. There's more than room for it in the market- people are demanding yet another 250 engine! Can't you hear them?? Just like they demanded three different Enzo kits! And five 430s! And 250s! And Calis! Can't you hear them chanting, calling constantly-

PLEASE - GIVE US - MORE - FERRARI - CRAP - NOW!!!

Even if it's just the same Ferrari crap, again and again.

What manufacturer could resist?


Props to Tamiya for resisting the calls of the masses, and putting out their new Altima kit!

Touche!

That would be a dream come true , but what should I do with my stash of Ferrari's then?!

[drunken monkey]

could it be a reworking of an existing engine kit?
That rear diff bears a resemblance to the one as found in the MFH 250TRI kits but with the mounting arms removed.

All other 250 kit engines that I can't think of have a different diff case.
Actually on second thoughts, does anyone have a good photo of the rear diff in the fujimi kit?
I haven't gotten one of those yet.

Me too. And while they're at it, all those interesting postwar cars: Maseratis, Talbot Lagos, Delahayes, OSCAs, Frazer Nashes, Gordinis, HWMs, Cunninghams, Allards, Kurtises, Devins etc.

And sprint cars from back when they actually looked like race cars.

At least 17 people are clamoring for these subjects. Like you say, ain't gonna happen. Shame and a pity.

I just got off the phone with Norm Veber and boy am I feeling like a Moe-Ron for spreading false info.

Stories of Norm Veber retiring AND his parts being unavailable are just plain untrue. He said virtually everything in his Ferrari range (including the SWB and GTO kits) are available. The lathe-turned wooden steering wheel kits are all available too! Norm has no plans of retiring or even dropping anything in his product line.

He suggested that if you have trouble sourcing his product you can just order direct. Send him an email at [email protected]

That's the best modelling news I have heard in quite a while!

What's all this I keep hearing about a Tamiya Altima? Nissan Altima? Is this a joke?

[MPWR]

We'll find out when the Shizuoka reports come in!

Someone requested Tamiya make a GTR racecar, and the thread was hijacked...for an Altima...
