Ferrari Mondial

[ferrari2k]

Hi, as I now have the Ferrari 308, 328, 348, 360 and 430 I still need the 355 (have to save money ) and the Mondial. Has there ever been a model of the Mondial? never heard of one.
And did I miss any Ferrari of the "beginner class" ?

No there is no 1/24 scale plastic, or resin/multimedia kit of any of the Mondial variants. There is a polistil diecast Mondial in 1/25 scale. And of course there are some 1/43 resin and diecast models.

One "beginner class" Ferrari that you missed is Dino/Ferrari 308GT4 (no kit from this one either) and of course the classic Dino 206/246GT.

Beginner class? There's nothing beginner class about Ferrari's V8s. It's the V8's that are usually developed for racing. (Ever see a Testarossa challenge?) This is why the V8s almost always to hold their value or appreciate, and the V12s tend to depreciate over the years.

OK, thanks, the 246 is available from Fujimi, right?
I just called it "beginner class" because they are the "small" Ferraris

Wassa????? may be true for other stuff, not for ferraris: you'll find around 328 starting from 25000 usd and 348 for a bit more: but speaking of V12.... had to find something for a "human" price; anyway the fact of have a very hight access point seem to be the ferraris' actual polytics: at least they're still covering the Dino project (that anyway would be a V8), but haven't they the Maserati stuff to offer for "cheap" LOL at least ever in the same Fiat group?

Anyway Fujimi do a resin built 304 GT4

Here is a very useful database of Ferrari models 1/24 and 1/25.

Thanks, unfortunately no model of the Mondial exists...
So I think I have to go with any 1:18 model, will have a look at ebay.

There is no 1/18 Mondial, either. Only possibilities are 1/43 scale and the polistil 1/25 diecast. Sorry.

the convertable mondial is nice, but the coupe...I just horked in my own shoes!

The one modern Ferrari that was never kitted that I'd like to have seen was the 456...I have a couple diecasts, though.
