Please, I have question. At home I have some kits. (Maserati Birdcage - YOW Modellini, Saleen S7 - Provence Moulage, Ford GT90 - Provence Moulage, Ferrari f355 Berlinetta - BBR, etc.). I want a clean job and build a closed and versions. Not enough skill to building model. Can you help me? I like people's work by Rosso, Garage43, etc. I need contacts and ask if they have time to help me. And, of course, also ask about the price. Thanks.

I have a list of quality model builders on my website. Each of the ones listed there have a link to their website or email addresses. A number of them can also be arranged via Mike here on MiniWerks (such as Veloce43).

Sorry Roman, I have not checked those links since last year and it is possible some websites are no longer maintained. I am fixing my list now.

Rosso does not have a website. However, Mike can help you there (I have not spoken with Chan for several years and I am not sure if he still uses the email address I have for him).

Roman, you might try Mr. Yow Ito himself from Yow Modellini. He built my PM Ford GT90 along some other models and I am very pleased with his work (Mr. Yow has also added some improvements for standard kit).

In Europe you could try Microsprint from Italy. They even had their own version of the Birdcage based on Yow's kit with open top/doors! By the way, La Mini Miniera is going to release the 75th Birdcage as a handbuilt this year so maybe you can wait and see if you like it better tan the kit.

Paulius, thank you for your good advice. La Mini Miniera has a really long list of models that wants to produce. I do not know but in what time horzonte. I'll wait for Maserati from LMM. I'm curious. Maserati Birdcage from Microsprint open version looks fine. I would like to see more photos but the only one I found here on the forum. Anyway, I do not want an open version. I prefer closed versions. Model can be a well made, but gaps always are distracting.
Yow work long admire. Often watching his diary. It's a wonderful thing, job, beautiful photos. I have a few questions for model GT90. I sent email. Once again, many thanks.

Good luck qith the builds!

I also wait for LMM Birdcage!

I'll post pics of my models built by Mr. Yow (all Provence Moulage kits with some minor improvements):




He improved the Banshee adding custom made correct badge decals (the ones provided with the kit were not correct according to him), and the GT90 insted of applied decals for the roof structure he painted the frame so it lookd better (it is painted from inside the clear window sheet)


And these two Alezan DeTomaso Guara, absolutely flawless paint on all models, with correct gloss or matte applications.

He certainly does nice work - I have a Bertone Lancia Zero by him.
