Title: At last...
Post by: kev131 on October 05, 2007, 08:29:21 PM
I've been a collector of Fiat model cars for some years and have numerous Mirafiori models (as you'd probably expect) ;). I've always wanted a Sport/Racing model and in fact have written a few times to Starline suggesting it (They make a whole range of highly detailed Fiat model cars). I've never had a response!

Now on Ebay this is available - The detailing is a bit poor in places but it is definitely a Racing model - I dont think I will be tempted by the price though - Maybe it was handmade justifying the expense...?

The treatment of the indicators is terrible as are many other details - Certainly way below the standard that is possible nowadays - However I do belive that this is the very first model of a Sport/Racing after numerous versions of the Abarth.
