Made
for RGM by BBR this excellent kit is made in BBR's typical style with
a crisply moulded resin body, white metal base plate and ancillaries
and some very fine p/e details. We know it will build to look handsome
as we saw the built version last month. A colour photo of the built
model appeared on what's new page 2
of FSW 5/2001.

| Early releases from the collaboration
between BBR and Arena were rather good. Unfortunately some of the
recent models we have had could definitely be better. |
 |
| Our review
model has some very well applied detailing, especially in the cockpit
and around the front spot lights but is let down by a rather low roll
cage and a rear wheel-arch that has not been cleaned up before painting.
The lacquer coat is well applied but slightly yellowed so the whole
thing looks as if it is nicotine stained! |

Ferrari 550 Barchetta Pininfarina
2000- built
|
£114.00
|
|
| The 2001 Malaysian GP should really
never have been won by Ferrari following a farcical pit stop that
had Barrichello stationary for 72 seconds and Schumacher for 90! A
combination of the pace car and treacherous conditions allowed Schumacher
to show why he is considered by many to be the best that ever lived. |
 |
| The kit is well cast in
metal with a wealth of p/e ancillary parts and all of the correct
sponsorship. The tyres are the normal grooved slicks that the race
was started on and not the treaded 'intermediates' that the bulk of
the race was driven on. The 550 Barchetta is superbly built in red
with black interior and has a motorshow quality paint finish. Even
non-Ferrari fans must have one of these on their lottery winners list!

 |
| The first offerings from
MEA were very well received and we have no reason to see these as
any different. The kit parts consist of resin tyres, engine, fuel
tank, seat and fairings, a wealth of p/e for the frame, forks and
wheels, well printed decals and various springs and wiring. Each kit
contains 2 complete sets of parts and options include Hailwood's mounts
from the '66 and '67 500cc GP series and his 67 TT winner. The built
model is of the #4 machine ridden to victory by 'Mike the Bike' after
leader Agostini's bike broke its chain in the 1967 Tourist Trophy. |
