Funny thing, AUTOart already has the basic mould for the 964 and 930!

I know
I also know if they would make some special 964's, 930's etc, they would sell like hot cakes.

I've been waiting for this one forever! DS will post their thoughts soon! Also, the model isn't technically "new", it's based off the Pantera L from back in 2012-2013.

Forgot about that one.
That explains some of the more dated area's of the model. But also the extended fenders are not flush everywhere and those parts are new castings I'm sure.
Let see what you think of it when yours arrives

I already have it, I like it. Not perfect, but I love the subject; been waiting for it for years!

Neat add. Those seats look awful

They are indeed awful! The whole interior is pretty bad. Maybe I will at some point modify it, but I think I just wait for a better model in the end

Hopefully, Kyosho figures out a way to re-release some classics Ferraris!

Looks great with the added decals. How do you like the model overall?

Mixed feelings.
The exterior and shelve presence is very, very good. The shutlines, paint, livery, wheels etc, really nicely done, I can't see anything that I think should have been done better (apart from the decals, but AA can't help the tabacco rules in some countries).
The interior is also pretty good I think, apart from the obvious.
The engine is a bit, well, how should I put it, it is all there, but for some reason it isn't. It is a bit lifeless, to flat, maybe the paint AA used? Also some mould lines that I don't like on various parts. Same for the radiator fans in the rear. But, to be honest, all real life radiator fans I have seen are made from dreadful plastic, so maybe it is accurate.
Than the obvious. What the **** is AA thinking again with the seatbelts?????
In the McLaren 720S it is bad enough, but in this car, being red and very present, they are horrible. AA, stop with this rubber nonsense!!
Can't we start some petition? I like AA, but this will make me look into alternatives in the future. I'm probably adding a McLaren 600LT and having the choice now between AA and LCD, I'm not sure it is going to be the AA. Although I actually prefer the composite over the metal, I can't stand the rubber seatbelt.
