Wow, the Dunlop 458 looks great! It's on my shopping list.

There is also a story behind that Livery: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/...t-Le-Mans.html

Me too. I have the hankook car and with mild work she's a very good non-mag car, although I must admit I did lower the front some distance for a more authentic look, and I'll do the same when the Dunlop car arrives in oz.

Fred, these are here.

Re Patron, I have contacted the team but I've yet to hear back a response to my initial emails. Though due to the alcohol livery... might be a tough one to do.

Beautiful! Carrera has done a wonderful job on the wheels on these cars!

Hey Dave; any chance that Carrera might make the Patron - Ferrari 458's that race in North America in the ALMS series?



Just curious

Gordo, I responded to this one post above your post... I don't know if that car will happen. It would seem unlikely.

Will the Ferrari 458 be produced in 1/24th?

Thanks,

Hey, if Carrera can get away with 'Decent Decade' on the tires, it should be able to get away with 'Matron' on the Patron car.

What we might produce is something I cannot really talk about directly. I would love to see one done and I have made that clear to the folks that decide these things for the non-North American-specific-molds... the molds aimed at our market we (meaning my boss Ed and I) have most of the decision left up to us. this year it was the Cheetah and Cobra in 1/32 that we decided were cars to go with. The molds that are for the rest of the world, are largely out of our hands.

They look great Dave, these and the Hankook livery. And the mercedes look good to, keep up the good work. I am disappointed on the patron car. I know you were hoping for it to, hope something works out with them and it gets made.

That's the bottom line right there.
I'm always pleased to see the good stuff that's being made and these 458s are no exception. There's so much good stuff, there's not much reason to worry about what isn't being made.
