Today, I will illustrate the difference between two theoratically similar models which are not. Not clones such as AnE vs. Antonette43, but simply the same model by the same maker, but at some years of distance. It has been reported that lately FB models are down in quality (try to find recent 8C230...

Bruneris don't inspire much? Yet another rarity today, part of the history of modelling, pretty much older: Paddy Stanley P2 in resina. Built year 1967 according to Rampini. http://im2.freeforumzone.it/up/25/24/1132433264.jpg Nice model for the era, albeit not much detailed. Surprise comes from its ...

Late last week I received from Italy a further Bruneri model, which often are among my favorites, the 6C1750 SS MM 1929: http://im2.freeforumzone.it/up/25/79/1826161216.jpg Wooden base not original, and description says 6C1750 1930, which is wrong. As usual, more here Yet the model is the right thin...

Hi Hans, indeed, multiple fantasy colours on the model of a one-off car is, er, we say in Italian "presa di c*lo". May be this comparison between three models of the 6C2500SS Ala Spessa is more "feet on the ground" :twisted: http://im2.freeforumzone.it/up/25/96/1736679516.jpg Lef...

Plumbies Inter kit of 8C2900B MM38 by Danhausen: http://im2.freeforumzone.it/up/25/77/998534522.jpg Paperwork shows clearly the marque and Danhausen origin, yet the model base wears the Western Model logo. Kit and factory built model side by side: http://im2.freeforumzone.it/up/25/75/584633750.jpg

Fiat has introduced a new appeal to the decision of protecting the museum under the Cultural Protection bill. Among other silly things, they write that the cars have no cultural value. Italian Alfisti are therefore organizing a further campaign in support of the museum. Everyone is welcome to use th...

I have recently bought a nice Danhausen Tipo B Aerodinamica in what I believe to be a package distributed to, or through the Alfa Romeo dealership. I thought it would be interesting to show not only the nice model, but the details of the original package and manufacture. This is the model with base ...

From the index, I've found back that the Disco Volante Milestone has already been presented. Here's the Disco Coupé C53 from the same maker. Nice model I say. http://im2.freeforumzone.it/up/25/14/827413620.jpg My Disco spider, bought together, is slightly different from the one illustrated here on p...

De ABC's nogmaals, maar dan geschoten op de Messe door Georg Hämel voor Auto-und-model.de. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v676/dinkyboy61/SCARB%20forum%20pix%204/43ABC--1.jpg This is Dusio's 8C2900 412012, third at the 1938 Mille Miglia. http://www.alfasport.net/Public/data/gianluca66/2010414145...

Erg leuke uitgaves van ABC! Ze hebben in het verleden al een 312 gehad, maar die zag er wat anders uit. Meer als een 312 om precies te zijn. Deze nieuwe uitgave lijkt, met de lage neus en vrijwel rechtop staande grill, veel meer op een 12C/37. Nou weet ik niets over de auto waarmee Varzi in 1948 re...

I do think that all three models are A&G. The third one, 8C2300 MM 33, was indeed sold as Bruneri AFTER they went into litigation with ABC, and the range was continued by A&G (Sig. Guida). Here's the same model with its Bruneri base, where you can see there's no longer the ABC logo. http://a...

I also have the two Exoto and the red ABC. The ABC are handbuilt, limited, and older pieces, and therefore have some kind of edge over the industrial Exotos. On the other hand, the Exoto is actually more accurate: http://im1.freeforumzone.it/up/19/65/671445435.jpg A few more comparison pics here

Oops, while discovering the thread I have been focused on the Disco Volante discussion, and didn't realize that I gave exactly the same link Hans had provided, as it was called "6C3000CM". My apologies.

No, or at least not exactly. This is a rebuilt car: it is an interpretation of what should have been the 1954 6C3000 PR, crashed by Sanesi at Monza before any pic was taken of it. This car was a secret project of Henri Wessel, which ws first shown to the pûblic after his death. It includes the secon...
