The
kits here are well cast in resin with fine white metal ancillary parts.
The March kits have very delicate and soft p/e suspension and will
probably need supporting to display the models. The wire wheels in
the Ferrari kits are of the DIY type. The decals are all clearly printed
and the instructions are very well drawn and easy to follow with colour
references in English and Italian. The built models show that these
will build well but we are rather concerned by the very heavy metal
rear wings of the Marches being on very long and with fine p/e supports
- perhaps it would have been better to cast the wing section in resin?

Ferrari 125 F1 Buenos Aires
1950 Serafini
|
£40.55
|
|
| A
well detailed and made kit of the 2nd place car from the Buenos Aires
GP driven by Doriano Serafini. The metal castings will need a reasonable
amount of clean up and together with the p/e fine details should provide
an enjoyable build. The wire wheels are of the kit variety and the
p/e grill is pre-shaped to fit the body. As you can see from the assembly
drawing alongside this is a high detail kit with lots of parts to
'play' with and it provides a good opportunity for superdetailing
within the engine bay. This car should be a most rewarding project
and could look sensational when finished. |

VW Beetle 1200 Pickup 1970

£42.15

| Another
charming model from this superb value range, this time a customised
pickup truck based on a curved screen Beetle. The paint is excellent
and overall finish fairly good though the rear number plate light
is not central and some of the panel gaps are rather rough. A colour
picture appeared in FSW2/2001. |

All
of these kits are absolutely brilliant. The resin bodies are well
cast, the small resin and metal parts well though out and the p/e
is excellent. The body shapes all check out well against photos and
- with the aid of the simple exploded diagram instructions and colour
pics in the Suds - with care these will all make superb models. We
have made GMK081 one of our Models of the Month and are going to photograph
(we hope!) the kit's parts to show you in colour on page four - but
we don't know yet how it will work out - here's hoping...........

| A collaboration
between Tron and Madyero has produced a gem of a model of this pretty
Toleman sponsored Grp 6 spider that unfortunately crashed out at LeMans.
The kit at first looks very simple with flawless resin body and a
few other cast parts, then we get to the p/e parts to fully detail
the rear suspension, transmission and engine. This detail can be seen
from behind the model and is exquisite, if only the rear body work
was a separate piece. "Gentlemen raise your scalpels." |

| We reviewed the unpainted versions of the Audi in 3/2001 and liked them! The paint coats on these kits are evenly applied with very few blemishes in the main silver colour. The paint on the rear wings of our review samples was slightly heavy but these will be decaled so shouldn't be too obvious. For those who prefer not to have to paint their kits these will enable excellent models to be made with relative ease.
The unpainted resin figures are superbly carved, needing minimal clean up before painting and will add realism to your model cabinet. The driver figure is wearing an open faced helmet with a scarf around his face and the fireman is standing holding an extinguisher, ready for action.
