Not far off indeed, Erik.

My apologies, it just looked a bit disproportionate to what I had in my 'mind's eye'.

It's just a pity that there are a few anomolies in this model, but I'm sure that it's one impressive beast in the flesh. It's just sad anoraks like us that will pore over the nuances I'm sure. The lucky bast .. sorry ... owners won't care too much, I'm sure!

Psychiatric treatment would likely be cheaper than the combined price of the two 1/8th scale McLarens. Go that route and be free!

None of the treatments helpmed me so far..
the only treatment is to treat yourself by buying these models
i thought my mclaren collection was complete but with minihcamps re-releases and these amalgam models its far from complete..

STREET TYRES. (OK so they may be rain tyres )

Fitted?????

I stopped looking after I saw those terrible mistakes, come on Amalgam, its not as if you are asking UT model prices for your product.

Sorry but its flawed.

Great shame.

And the side windows, there is some screws or what they are, the silver ones which were also the LM back then and once again this model has them too. I think they should not be there?

Can't put my finger on it, but there is something wrong with the overall shape!

Tops of the front wings seem a little flat

[Sami Aaltonen]

Some one here propably know this model and manufacturer, but I think we should give it more publicity, don't you?

I merged your thread with the original one. It seems we had done a pretty good job already Sami.

YEP! Sorry all!!!
I didn' remember this Thread.

But this I'll ask, is this better made than Collector Model Studio's version?!
Or was it 1/12 and this is 1/8.....

If you mean the resin built 1/12 GTRs (10R, Marlboro's, Lark #60, white Gulf, Ueno #59) and LMs (orange, black, white) they were made by MWS = Model Work Shop. Collector Model Studio only sells them like Raccoon and Romu in Japan.

OK, it seems it's same company:

CollectorStudio.com website:
#01R 1/8

Amalgam Collection:
#01R 1/8

So this is the same model?

Yes, both the same (Amalgam 1:8 model).

Also Model Work Shop should have made it in 1:12 - the images below so you can decide which is the better:





For the price of an Amalgam model you could buy 4 of these!

[Sami Aaltonen]

Yep, I remember that quite recently EBAY had couple of Model Work Shop's GTR's on sale. First one was about 1000$ and second one, Marlboro livery was 1400$.
So this Amalgam's model is 3300-3500£ about.

These images can't say really sure, which one is better. But I have heard that Model Work Shop's models are very good also, even they are smaller than this 1/8 model.

Small EDIT:

There you go, Model Work Shop's #01R

EDIT: Hmmm it's now sold.... I wonder if .....
