i bet you that Lamborghini made the Jalpa "Rockys" man car instead of the Countach because Jalpa sales were very poor and they wanted to boost its exposure and image. The Countach was already well known so it didn't need the movie exposure

I am a huge fan of the Ferrari F50GT. I find the F50 an ugly duck, but with the GT they transformed it. I really really would like to have a detailed diecast of it with everything opening. If I run out of projects I intend to build it, but the coming 2 years no time for it.

I'd like a diecast version as well. I'm quite happy with the resin pice from fujimi, I'd like to look inside and see the heart of the beast!

Yes and specifically because it's a racecar. Somehow racecars have something special for its goal to excel in speed and handling. It's wonderful to see how everything is designed and fits like a puzzle.That's why I like the diecasts of the old racers or the Tyrrell build from Darren. On the F50GT is f.e. nice to see how they fitted the huge rear spoiler. I've seen modders place it on the back end. This is wrong. This thing generates a few hundreds of kilo's downforce. Therefore you can see it going through the back end. it must be mounted directly on the gearbox or on the rear subframe. I think it must be the gearbox since it is with the engine a structural part of the car. That sort of things is great to discover on these sort of cars.
