caapa Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Italdesign Nazca M12 Concept 1991 Italdesign has always been known for supercar designs seemingly too far ahead of its own time. It is sure true for the debut creation of Fabrizio Giugiaro – son of the designhouse founder Giorgetto - only 26 years old when he conjured up the breathtaking form of this stunning prototype, the Nazca M12. The car has under its carbon-fiber body the 300 hp 5 litre 12-cylinder engine from BMW. Unfortunately seemed BMW didn’t want to go through an another hassle like the M1, so the M12 or the succeeder C2 never reached regular production. The model is built from the Revel 1:24 kit Skill Level 3. Well, it was not a simple work but some quality flaws made some vaguenesses. For example the square positioning holes were too great to the pins and so it was immpossible to connect safely correct. Enjoy the pictures. Some detail photo will follow. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bisc63 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Very nice. I have never seen this model built, and I quite like it now that I've seen it from all angles. You did a good job getting it all together. Looks like some unusually bad panel fitment from Revell on this one. I think they intended this one to be displayed "opened up" with everything inside on display. I may have to find one of these for myself!

The bad panel fitments are mainly my failure but I can`t imagine why: during the dry fitting tests all was much better. But during cementation the panels didn`t go to right position anymore. I needed to sand a lot from the inside of the upper edge of rear bumper to get functioning the engine hood. There were 2 - 2 pc positioning pins at the front and rear on hood: the two ones in front positioned the hood by holes but the fitment was even wronger. The two at rear had no function - there was no holes for position the rear bumper right. It seemed they were there for glueing the hood closed. So I removed the pins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claude Thibodeau Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Hi Janos! Great build of a challenging kit. I have one in my stash, and every time I look at it, I end up postponing the build. Well, now you are pushing me... CT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckyg1 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Nicely done. I've never seen one built either. I see Bugatti in the front, and the tail lights remind me of an NSX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caapa Posted September 10, 2022 Author Share Posted September 10, 2022 I made a few modification beyond opening doors and hood to see on next photos: BMW logos on the wheels and front & rear. steering wheel, BMW kidneys, new headlight group, detailed rearlight with BMF behind, drilled the holes on breakdisks.

ea0863 Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Excellent work, especially on the many panels that are very difficult to align on this kit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang1989 Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 I've never seen one or heard of these cars which makes the build that much more unique and interesting. Great turn out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89AKurt Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 I have 2 of these kits, wanted to do the C2 also. First thing I noticed was the corrected grill and badge. The body is multiple piece, so I can imagine the challenge. Good job, and more important, you built it! 🏆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
