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

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

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...

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.

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!

despite all that, i find it a very beautiful model. However i like the older ones better :-)
if i am not mistaken, your Gaillardo has a little P ZERO decal on the tires in red.

Are you going to buy this one too? i really like your 8c models!

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! ;)
