  1. Thank you Agora, for bringing this partworks to the US:  the quality is far superior to anything I've seen from Deagostini or Eaglemoss, chrome is of high quality , fir and finish so far is excellent--those 'other' partworks companies should buy this to see how it should be done!

  2. Miura has been announced, with ordering available in a few weeks.  This is an excellent partworks model; I've built the Wolf Contact, LaFerrari, Jag Type and can say confidently the Miura is a superior quality model.  Things like microswitches in the doors, steering column, brake and accelerator pedal, lighting for instruments and interior dome light for example.  Paint finish so far is exemplary as well, no runs or paint build on the edges.  I have several issues of the Miura but will sign on for a full subscription when it becomes available for the US., shipping from Hatchette Italy has been a nightmare and expensive.

  3. I placed an Eaglemoss preorder for this almost an entire year ago; March 4, 2021; received an order confirmation but nothing else.  Hatchette showed a Tumbler last fall, nothing has materialized from that either.  I'm not saying either or both won't be released, but as time goes on, it seems less likely.   Eaglemoss advertised the Ferrari F40LM and that never was released. 

  4. Totally agree about the dash center section and I would be a willing purchaser of those parts if you proceed to make them.  A racing mod is a great idea; Design 29 website  has a work in progress competition E type he is working on.

  5. It's the cost of tooling; this is a metal hull crafted model; with working engine, lighting, over 4 feet long when completed-I'd imagine the tooling and engineering costs are over $700,000 and that's an upfront cost, before any sale generated.  If it is too costly for you , maybe the Eaglemoss wood model would suit your budget more. I'm willing to pay this cost to get something made of metal, and be museum quality--to have someone build the Trumpeter plastic kit with the upgrade would cost you at least 5,000-6,000 for a Master builder to make one for you.
