| Tameo does a very nice build and have for many, many years. Underrated IMO and a good model for the money. Built in Italy too ;) |

Thank you Peter for your comments, I am going to get the Tameo, I actually have two tameos, a Ferrari 1984 and 1985 F1, when I got the 85 it was almost completely destroyed a had it repair and it came out pretty good, thats when I felt in love with Tameos,
Thanks again!
Regards

I have to agree on one point; Tameo factory base presentation are not that appealing!
But Tameo models are top in finish and looks!
I personally buy Tameo versions, and upgrade the base myself……..

Thank you Wolfgang, I was thinking the same upgrade the base to a wood base, I done that in the past building dioramas, the problem always has ben getting a good finish on base the carpenters dont whant to waste time in a couple of small bases, any suggestions were I can get already made wood bases?
TSM(True scale minituares) is a diecast model company is bringin out a 1/43 wood base display base I dont know when I hope they are good.
Thank you!
Regards

| Are you talking about factory-built Tameo 126 C2?? Because it is not a white metal model...if you want a white metal 126 C2 you have to buy a kit and then have it built... |

I don't know because i have not seen the BBR model "live", i had the Tameo one and the quality was good.
However if you are not in a hurry i think that the best solution is to buy a tameo kit and to give it to a good builder, it will cost more but you will have a perfect white metal model in your hands ;-)) Paolo |

Thank you Paolo, thats a good idea, do you know a good builder?, I had one, the last built he did it so fast it wasnt very good, no attention to detail.
Thanks! |
