Ah that's it!!! Thanks to these pictures of the ivory version, I finally put my finger on the thing that's been bothering me since the beginning (besides the huge glass joints) without being able to determine it.
It's that improbable wave at the back of the body.
Thanks ferrariforever! Thanks to you, I understand better what's wrong.

The only thing that that looks off, is the hinges being oversized (for obvious reasons)... otherwise, the shape looks right.

I don't see such a big bump on the bottom of the pavilion, but we'll say it's my eyes... CMC is definitely a sensitive subject...

The issue is that the hinges and the body color are too similar in the photo, so it seems like the hinges make the bump in the body shape more pronounced. IMO of course. I don't see anything wrong on the red one I have, no matter what angle I look at it from.

The midnight blue one is almost ready to be released.

i think this car looks weird without sideview mirrors. thats why m-212 modeled after chassis #09057 is the one i find most appealing. its the only one that has them on both sides.

With the exception of the completely anachronistic harnesses, the interior is nicer and the paintwork looks great.

Glad to see the racing version are finally ready and the texture on those seats are indeed very interesting.

Including both the racing and non-racing variants, CMC seems to have released the 275 GTB/C in more colours than in prior models like the 250 California, 250 SWB etc.

Indeed more colors than every single CMC Ferrari model before.
And I think it makes very good sense from business point of view. Better to release more 'limited' edition variants than only in red and yellow like the 250 SWB.
Collectors more preferably to buy a model in different colors than 3x the same color.

Indeed it is regrettable that CMC didn't release more colours over a longer period of time for popular models like the 250 SWB, which only had 4 variants. Like you said, they could have further monetized collectors who may otherwise have bought more than one of each, given the minimal incremental R&D that would have entailed.

Unlike the 250 GTO I have no interest in models of the 275 GTB/C since it had no real impact for comparison.
Nevertheless as a motorsport fan, I am curious to which race the model is supposed to represent (the small sponsor suggests a race in the US).
Unless I missed something....

If you're talking about the #4 the car raced at the Governor's and Tourist Trophy during the 1966 Nassau speed week. The driver was Pedro Rodriguez, he finished seventh overall and first in class.

Many thanks for the information, with a driver of the quality of Pedro Rodriguez it's not a surprise he was a class winner.
One of these days I need to get a decent book outlining the Nassau events.
I still hope to be able to get hold of a 1/18th scale model of the very special Cobra 390 run at Nassau in 1964 (but before the ugly hole cut into the bonnet/hood.
