Jordan White Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I'm sure that will be super pricey, but dang that looks nice! I love the detail they put in along with all the features (opening doors, steering, suspension, etc.)! It's too bad Tamiya wasn't this detailed when they released their Mini Cooper.

Looks like about $150 U.S. on average. Not bad considering what you get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Creative Explorer Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I bought mine for 95 euro's. I was a bit reluctant in buying the kit, but when I got home and went through the box, it's ok. It's definately not a Tamiya, but Italeri did a good job capturing the little giant. But a lot of extra detail has to be given into the model for making it stand out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roncla Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 (edited) That little character was known as the Fiat Bambina in our market. https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=bambina I remember being taught to drive in one way back in the 60s and thinking I'd never learn the coordination of steering the car and working the stick shift at the same time.

The Creative Explorer Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Yet they were more spacious on the inside, than one might think from the outside. I was quite surprised by that. I'll see if I can make some pictures of the contents tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkman Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Now all we need is them making a kit half the size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamiya already did a nice 500 (and an Abarth version) in 1/24th, so there really isn't need for another, I would think... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Hamilton Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 If I can get one cheap enough, I may go for it. I remember when they were new. This kit looks great form the pics, and I do have some other 1/12 builds on the shelf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan White Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 It appears that Italeri is quick on the alternate-version bandwagon and has announced an Abarth version of their new 1/12 Fiat 500 kit. http://italeri.com/imgup/Preview 2018(1).pdf Check page 14.
