Got this today and I had to show and tell. I've no intentions of building this this year. It is intended for a collection of Italian Targa Florio cars I'm collecting kits for.
MFH or Model Factory Hiro are sort of the Holy Grail of 1/24th and 1/20th car kits. Their range is immense and the quality legendary, sadly the prices reflect this. This new kit costs in excess of £130.
The Alfa TZ2 and the TZ1 before it were a series of road race cars from the mid Sixties. I have kit number K184 which is the later TZ2 in Targa Florio fit.
The kit is produced in a combination of Resin, White Metal and Photo Etch. Add into the mix a smattering of turned metal bits and you have a very complete kit.
OK so what you say. Well did I mention the sheer quality of these castings and bits? NO well look at this....
The single piece cast metal chassis and subframes:
The Resin body shell:
This photograph is the rest of the kit parts, if I'd have sat down and photographed the lot we'd have been here all day!
What is more impresive is the fact that save opening the box I have done nothing to the kit parts. They look like this from the box ;D!
Oh and I may have forgotten to tell you this is not 1/12th or 1/20th scale. It's 1/24th. The frame is about 5 inches long (shorter than that in fact!).
Scary!
