First "live" shots taken from a Chinese (?!?!?) eBay auction...
Looks very very nice! I'm waiting to see the Giallo Tristrato version!

if i am not mistaken, your Gaillardo has a little P ZERO decal on the tires in red.

you're probably right. haven't checked it yet.

I think yes. Probably the Giallo Tristrato version. It will be exactly the same color combo as their 1:43 model:



Thanks for the compliments about the 8C models! I really like 'em both too! ;)

Reg. plate: yes, that's true. You can fix it by your own. I've sent an e-mail to Fernando Reali and wrote him that it would have been better they put NO registration plate instead of that ugly and flat decal.

Red decals on calipers: I think the decal taken in photo is damaged.

Scripts on tires: if I'm not mistaken, my Gallardo 1:18 from AUTOart has scripts on tires' shoulders... Gotta check it!

hahahahahahahaha....Oops, somebody damages some PE parts....

Well the registration plate can be fixed.....just make one yourself and aply it :-)
the red decals on the brake calipers can also be found on the 1:1 calipers




and the reason the tires have no scripts on them is because the script on the 1:1 tires is too difficult to replicate into 1:18 I think.

My concerns:

the paint effect on the brake disks
the red decals on the calipers
the awful registration plate
the tires' shoulders with no scripts

Otherwise I think it's a great model! I think I'll get the Giallo Tristrato one to pair with my two 8C's...

looks very good! I have the looksmart (1:43), but this one is way better! Also because it is bigger haha
