Because Joe gave me a none-too-subtle hint, here are a selection of high-end 1/43 356 models that appeal to me. Or, in other words, I wish all these were mine!!!

In no particular order of preference:

Amazing, thanks for showing!

I see mostly Bosicas, but which kit used for JPM's creations? Piranha?

Super nice pics. Thanks for taking the time to compile these pics x.man. I always enjoy looking at the high end models. Some of the top artisans are here: Steve Barnett, Jean-Paul Magnette, Momo Factory, Rosso43, ScaleAutoArt, Joe Blanche and Shin Kang. I suspect most of these are based on the Bosica kit made back in the 70's. That kit is one of the all time classic kits.

Sorry Stas, I forgot to include that information...

  • Rosso43: Make Up/Bosica superkit.

  • Shin Collection: mostly Bosica and/or Le Phoenix kits - but I cannot remember for certain anymore.

  • Momo Factory: Bosica kit.

  • JPM: Piranha kits

  • Joe: red & blue are BBR rebuilds, the black & silver cabriolets were Bosica coupe kits!

  • Steve Barnett: Pre-A is based on an old Danhausen kit and the rest are Le Phoenix based

  • ScaleAutoArt: Make Up/Bosica superkit.



And of course you are included, Joe; pieces like your 550 Panamericana and those two cabrio's put you right up there with all these other top builders artisans!

I also forgot three other very important pieces;

gdist, Le Phoenix kit

Takumi Inaba, kit unknown

Yasuhiro Shimoma, Bosica kit (check out that polished bodywork!!!)
