This was the sensation of the model year 2005: After several years of preparation time the Ferrari 126 C2 turbo model in scale 1/8th finally came on the market. Realized by Berry Manzoni and his Promocom Toys company in Italy, and produced at an expenditure, which is absolutely unique. Whereby the additive in the name is not completely to be taken literally: I would not really call this model a toy. I can only say: WOW! Here a mad model has been created, without compromises, without consideration at the expense, only with the highest materials and in a processing, which is second to none.

Unfortunately, this extraordinary kit was unavailable for some time, because of various problems, caused by two deaths in the family of the manufacturer. The more I am glad that I have this ultra-rare and therefore expensive model kit in stock now. I am also able to offer the matching engine kits in various versions.

Materials: The materials used correspond to the real vehicle: monocoque and many other parts are CNC-milled aluminum, fairings and underbody made of real carbon fiber, rims turned from alloy, tires vulcanized from real rubber, hundreds of photoetched parts in brass, nickel silver or stainless steel complement the whole. Simply incredible! The only non-metal parts (apart from the real carbon-coverings) are the drivers seat and the fiberglass-laminated brake air scoops. White metal, bronze and brass castings in highest quality, almost without any burrs or mold lines. The only disadvantage (apart from price): The real carbon fiber fairing parts require some trimming along engraved lines.

Versions: Each of the total 6 versions is officially Ferrari-licensed, limited to 200 copies and individually numbered. The various versions differ in the design of front and rear wings, labels or engine details. So the "Long Beach" version for example comes with a wonderful, split rear wing. Here is a list of the individual versions:

Assembly: The assembly is mainly via bolt connections, the chassis is composed by two vertically divided CNC milled aluminum pieces. Minor soldering work required in some steps. Undertray and linings are laminated in carbon fiber. The wings, shock absorbers, exhaust and many small articles are polished, milled and/or turned aliminium parts! Naturally also the decals belong to the finest category, printed by a leading supplier as water sliding items! Enormous detail and historical correctness.

Packing and instructions: The packing of the parts is remarkable: The designers created a really useful way - all parts are packed corresponding to the building steps! So you are not forced to search for a long time, in order to find the individual components. Just take the bag for the appropriate building step, in which (excluded the photoetched parts and some screws) all necessary pieces are. Together with the correct photoetched plate (likewise for the appropriate building step) the allocation is such a children's game. The 96-page building instructions are constantly in color, printed in 5 languages in high quality: English, Italian, Spanish, German and French.

Conclusion: Absolute High end product for the commited model maker, with superbly used materials, design and quality. Naturally nothing for beginners. If you are looking for a really unique kit, you will not be disappointed. Unfortunately very high price.
