Faust Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 You know, there are a lot of kits of weird cars out there, and those are the ones I like best. Sure, there are more stylish cars, but I like the things off the beaten path, so to speak. That’s why, if you told me I’d buy a Ferrari kit, I’d have laughed. Well, look who’s laughing now! Check out my out of box review for the absolutely bizarre the Ferrari 308 GT Rainbow!. This is really proof that the 70’s were just really all about bad ideas.
Edsel-Dan Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 I have that one. Curbside kit to say the least!! Looks like it may also have been designed for motor, and maybe headlights!
58 Impala Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 Never have seen or knew that car even existed. Curious to see it built.
Rob Hall Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 Fascinating...I'd seen pics of the 1:1, didn't know it was kitted. The kit seems to be inaccurate as far as some details like the side windows...
W-Machine Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 I think I just threw up a little in my mouth! The styling is positively wretched.
Erik Smith Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 Looks like something I drew in the 4th grade, only worse. Cool review though - I appreciate the style.
Aaronw Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 Looks a bit like a Lotus Esprit done exactly wrong. I see a bit of the Fiat too, only it works on the Fiat.
jaymcminn Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 Fascinating...I'd seen pics of the 1:1, didn't know it was kitted. The kit seems to be inaccurate as far as some details like the side windows... The proportions of the body seem way off on the kit. The original is a striking, if not especially pretty, example of 70s Italian design. The kit doesn't do it justice.
Pro Wrench Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 That is one of the ugliest cars I have ever seen. Anyone that would do that to a Ferrari would drink their own bath water.
58 Impala Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 (edited) Does look like an X19...on some really bad steroids. Wait,Fiat owns Ferrari don't they? If so they should have kept their designers out of the studio. Edited April 29, 2013 by 58 Impala
Jantrix Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Look at the car again and then think Death Race/Post Apoc, and suddenly the build possibilities open up. I would build this in a NY minute.
Faust Posted April 30, 2013 Author Posted April 30, 2013 Man, now that's some great reaction! I see what you mean, jaymcminn about the proportionning. It is a bit off, and the MPC if far fuglier than the real thing. Of course, that's not saying much, since, the real think is some kind of cruel joke. I think it looks like a weird shoe mated with a doorstopper, myself. Your'e right about the Death Race idea, Jantrix; as I said in my review, it would make an awesome flying car, too.
IMSANUT Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Looks a bit like a Lotus Esprit done exactly wrong. I see a bit of the Fiat too, only it works on the Fiat. Spot on on both comments! A truly awful styling exercise. There is one of these kits on evilbay now.
Zarana-X Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Look at the car again and then think Death Race/Post Apoc, and suddenly the build possibilities open up. I would build this in a NY minute. I was thinking the same thing...
Edsel-Dan Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Anyone who has this model and does not like it, I will take it!!
