Must be some secret hidden spot on their website, I sure couldn't find any of the above there!

Hi,

I saw that yesterday on their webside.

I´m looking forward to see some pics for the contensts of the kits, as prices will be rather high around 130 Euro ~ 200 $US.

I imagine it will be much like their C6-R kit.

"SCUDELIA Ecosse"????

I'll be painting mine in Lossa Colsa Led for sure!

Dangit...I was working on taking a Challenge car and converting it to GT2 spec...I had the decals on the way and everything! And now S27 goes and makes a better version

I may also have to get this, along with the BMW F1.08 Canadian GP.

I love the 430GT2

it's ok bro, take it on the brighter side...

99% of S27 kits are raw curbside models & not even with underchassis details, what you've done now is you've presented yourself in a position to blow their USD200,00+ resin kits away...by adding a full engine (modified 360 engine) or opening here & there!
YES! you can do this but not them...their agenda is to start selling & make $$$, but we've got all the time & skills!

i never worried if anyone produce anything that i'm currently scratchbuilding, because i know they can only do so much (apart from MFH, that is) to start making $$$. as for MFH, i counter-strike their excellent resin kits with modified builds that even they have never heard of!

so we call this 'guerilla warfare'!?
it's all up to you...to produce that exclusive ferrari that everyone drools!!!

cheers!

Im about 80% done with scratch builing the new nose, still needs a little more sanding....S27 nose looks pretty spot on.

But I can tell you now that judging by the pics, S27 has the wrong dash

[Robi J]

The quite bad habit to undersize the wheels is really annoying, especially on an expensive kit (and let's forget the wrong shape...). Furthermore, taillights grille and engine bay look terribly similar to the Fujimi tool…






It’s a pitty there are no news from Tecnomodel about their 1/24 early version unveiled at a local fair two years ago !!!

[JTninja]

Yes, S27 wheels on both the F430 and C6R are badly misshaped. Tecnomodel seems to have the correct front wheel, but the rear seems awefully wrong....

Heaven forbid someone gets it right

I agree with you Robi, for that price parts could look better
