Never seen this before but it looks fabulous.

That is very nice. It's good to see an unusual subject like this. I think I had a Matchbox car very similar to that.

@George, thanks! Concept car from the late 60s. Always been one of my favorite concepts.

@David, I know Hot Wheels did a version in 1970 and Matchbox did one in 1971. Pretty sure I had the Matchbox version as well at some point.

You actually managed to order a kit from this website?

So cool to see this one build! Great! I love those old prototypes and how they saw the sports car for the future.

@Alexander, I have been buying the SMP24 kits for about 4 years now. It was not easy to find or purchase them in the beginning but I have been a pretty consistant purchaser since. I am not sure how many actually get out of Japan or Asia for that matter. Definately not easy or inexspensive to obtain.

@Christian, thanks! I am also a big fan of this era of prototypes, most concepts from the 70s though the 90s I felt really captured what it meant to create really wild and intersting concepts.

Mr D
Very nice, great subject too👌
Do you know who the designer was ??

13 September, 19:00

David Orr
@MrD It's got a Bertone logo on the side of the engine cover.

13 September, 23:01

Spence Wilson
@ Marcel, thank you very much!

@Mr. D It was designed by Marcello Gandini while he was with Bertone in 1968.

What can you tell us about the quality of the kit? Sharpness of casting, amount of details, difficulties during building....

14 September, 09:57

Mr D
Thanks Spence😃👍
Thought it had a Gandini look, .. like the stratos ect .
Really nice , ike the window tint.

@shadowlight You can watch the full build of the kit on my YouTube channel and see what it consists of. I don't do a lot of resin so I don't have much to compare it to but I find the resin to be a little soft so things like scribing are difficult for me when I am so used to doing it with plastic. The interior is beyond detailed with so many tiny photoetch pieces it is amazing, as it is with many of their kits. The engines in the SMP kits I find are always bitter sweet. They have fantastic detail for the parts that are included but I also feel they are a little simplified and ccould use a few more extra bits to them just to detail them up a little more. All SMP kits come with great photo etch parts and a level of details that is beyond my expectations. Just understand this is a garage kit and more in line with something you may 3d print rather than building a Tamiya or other styrene kit. A lot of the parts can benefit from pins to hold better and you have to decide if you want to go through all that yourself. I love the two SMP kits I have built so far and I have several more of them that I am eager to get into as well. I really enjoy building them.

Mr D
Thanks, will check out the YouTube build, l really like Gandini design's... The Miura is my favourite, but the kits I've seen don't look that great.
Thanks for info..... Appreciate it 😃👍👍

Thanks Spence - will have a look

@MrD You wouldn't believe it, but I saw a Lancia Stratos yesterday while driving just outside Pukekohe, New Zealand. I don't know whether it was the real thing or a replica, but it looked fantastic anyway. Not exactly what you expect to see while driving around rural New Zealand.

2 more questions: - which colours did you used? It wasnt mentioned in the video...
- how you have ordered and communicated? Using google translate on their website and using the Mail-form included in their site only japanese letters seemed to be allowed...
An congratulations that you got one of these - there already sold out 😭((

Dominik Weitzer
wow. that looks great!

16 September, 10:51

Mr D
David Orr,
Yes there is a Lancia specialist in NZ, he is one of the world's leading restoration guys and builds Replica ones too with Alfa Buso V6 engine's....so I'm not surprised.
I think the stratos looks like a Miura....shrunk in the wash.... Another Gandini great.
😃👍👍
