Well, Alfa 6C from CMC actually has a working soft top. It is ugly but it is working.

oh hey that's my review! haha takes me back. I saw a pic somewhere of the top being undone but it looked like crap so my conclusion was that yes, you can open it but it won't look good. It's meant to stay folded

A working rooftop (fabric) was always something I wanted in a 1/18 scale car. I prefer the hardtop, but will have to wait to see the Landaulet version now. Also have to see the pricetag.

Thanks for the info Ferrariforever. I just googled the Kyosho CLK and it looked bad, didn´t need to see the Maisto...

Now I have low expectations for the CMC Pullman version.

As for the CMC 1/18 Alfa Romeo 6C, can someone please point me to a picture of it in the covered position? I could not find any pictures online.

yes i have seen the roof of CMC Alfa 6c in covered position, but you have to get it to that position with patience.
link is http://www.modelclub...-60412-1-2.html
Even here the positions of each link of roof could be adjusted further to get it right.

Thanks for the link Subbuamada. Even CMC does´t want to show this function!

Does anyone know if the 275 GTB is long nose or short nose? Two cam or four cam?

More information about the real Ferrari the CMC is based on.
"CMC had the rare opportunity to document in detail the GTB/C #09015 in its original condition. The car is the second Competizione produced from series II and one of the last GT class cars built by the racing department at Maranello...... A limited edition will be offered of Chassis #09015 as this car was used by NART to race with starting number #26 in Le Mans 1966 and with Biscaldi and de Bourbon at the wheel. A standard edition of the 275 GTB/C will be based on Chassis #09067 with a red finish and a black interior. CMC may also consider offering a few more limited editions."

From their website:

The first parts have already been produced, others have not satisfied us yet. Finally, a CMC model should also meet the highest demands in detail, and functional parts such as foldable additional seats in the passenger compartment, moveable sun visors and wind deflectors will be redesigned. The latest manufacturing technologies should help us to implement details in an unprecedented way. The same claim which the Mercedes engineers had with the original over 50 years ago, we too have for our model. Only when the model meets 100% of the original with its countless outstanding technical features, we are at the destination.

We are not so far away!

The flag poles have to go. I'm not buying one with those on it. The Red interior is horrible too. I want one with Black seats.

I agree for interior. Red is horrible choice, tan would be perfect. Just like on AUTOart W100 SWB.

Love the red interior. Much more fun

How you dare to compare that dictator / evil men luxo barge with the graceful Talbot Lago ;-D

OK I still like a lot that imposing MB 600 grosser but not with a red interior, please...

I full

Seeing the AUTOart Pullman going for >650 euro. I would really take the CMC for 750 euro. I'm pretty sure the final result will be good. And personally I think this model is much more desired than the C type, Talbot, or most of their race cars.

I predict that the Pullman and the Ferrari 275 will be the most desired CMC models in the coming two years. (before they re-release the Fiat Transporter and the McLaren SLR someday...

)

I fully agree. I plan to get at least Pullman. If prices would be more 400-, I think I'd try to get all new CMC models. . .

The red interior is ideal when 'taking political enemies for a ride'......

It‘s not only the red interior - just look at the steering wheel and the star on top of the grill...

The chrome around the roof and doors looks too bulky and uneven.
Even the yellow turn indicators in the headlamps are wrong.
They should be orange.

If I'm not mistaken, this is still a sample
