Ragtop Man Posted February 13 Posted February 13 Let's hope this is the beginning of a beaaaaautiful frendship with Italieri. I missed the coupe when it came around last, and will grab any reasonbly priced California. The 275s are wonderful and deserve much wider circulation, in case anyone is casting a glance at the suggestion box.
Exotics_Builder Posted February 13 Posted February 13 The shortcomings of the Italeri California is the incorrect (GTO) engine (that can be reasonably fixed) and the GTO interior. Other than that, the Italeri Ferraris are pretty decent with some aftermarket parts applied. My 250 California already built Italeri Ferraris needing to be built (Yes another California and the Revell 275 is a reboxed Italeri) 2

It's not the beginning of anything, this is an old thread and was supposed to occur back in 2016. As mentioned elsewhere in this thread and reviewed a few posts ago Revell let their Ferrari license expire and this project never came to fruition and it forced them to stop selling all of their own kits as well.
Ragtop Man Posted February 14 Posted February 14 That will teach me not to look at the date stamp. I recall the discussions from that time frame about Ferrari - now as a separate company with their own P+L sheet - was seriously hiking fees for merch and looking hard at every item to make sure it was "image consistent." Not sure where their heads are at now on the topic, but the Italieri kits were quite good, should have passed muster easily. The question would be about the licenses and if they are exclusive to subject, category, scale, etc. But that is over my pay grade.
dino246gt Posted February 26 Posted February 26 It's a very old picture from my files but I do have a few Ferrari kits! 1
