Lancia LC2 is Protar tooling from 1984 being rebox, so its not really "new"

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ What that dude said!!!!!!! So looking forward to some more new GT3 spec cars. The Audi, the Porsches, the BMW M8 (well not till next year likely). Now we need a Huracan and the new McLaren 720s, and the Aston Martin Vantage.

Any information on this, I don’t remember aoshima having a kit of this version of the Estima (or Previa as we know it here in the states)

Judging by some of these pictures, we are truly in a golden age of race car modelling.

Jon mentioned the new parts.  Aoshima had an Estima Lucida and Estima Emina, but never a straight base trim factory stock level Estima

Is it curbside, or does it have a chassis, becuase the drivetrain is one of the most interesting things about the Previa.

It's a curbside with a very basic chassis.

It looks like Ebbro is working on a plastic kit of this years Toro Rosso STR14 Honda. Here's an early prototype on display at the show, courtesy of Scaleautofactory.com. They did a great job with their McLaren kits so I'll be looking forward to, and crossing my fingers for this one.

Its a curbside, with a lot of chassis detail, but molded in.

Yeah now that they're finally doing the promised 488 GTB (along with the 812 Superfast), I feel my wallet lightening.  I don't mind the Spyder, but I really wanted one with a roof on it.  My interest is piqued with the Huracan Evo they have cooking, and how easily it will be to wedge an Aoshima Performante chassis into that resin body rather than using the slab that will come with it.

Just saw on several European webshop sites that the Ferrari kits are on sale or at least available for pre-order.
