Hello to all,

For several months, under the "future projects" listing, a wax master of a Ferrari 275 GTB/C (#24 car that raced at Le Mans in the mid-60s) was shown on the Minerva43 website. However, it is no longer listed. Does anyone have information regarding the status of this project?

Thank you

And before that, a master of that model from the same artist was shown a few years on the Paddock homepage (it wasn't actually the same master, Mr. Weber did another one regarding to Minerva).

Weber is one of the worlds best model artists in our hobby, but definitely not the fastest and he seems to be very reclusive so it is quite unlikely that we hear from him soon.

The only ones who can help are the guys of Minerva...

Hello Mustang,

Regarding the Ferrari 275 GTB/C, I can confirm from authorised source that it is still in the making and that it is currently at an advanced stage of the process.
You must understand that the process for such models is long. One of the reasons is that Fred Suber requires and expects only the best quality for any of the releases. Minerva43 must remain a high quality label. For this reason, the production process could sometimes be a little bit longer than expected but, at the end, it is to the benefit of the collectors. Be sure that this model is on the way.

Jean-Louis.
