I'm so glad its made by Kyosho, if AUTOart made it, it would costs alot more and will be sealed

I would prefer to wait for the red version as the black doesnt look that good in my opinion .

Im sure Thorsty will like it though as it will save him some money on paint :lol

 

[mclaren]

looks great, red is coming out after the black

 

[mattdesign]

Looks very much like a prototype in that matte color. Awesome. I've seen some pics of the yellow one as well which looks mighty fine.

Congrats! I hope to see it available soon in the US!

:cheers

It looks like a really nice model, but at $109+ I don't see it in my collection anytime soon. I like Ferrari's but this is a Kyosho afterall and I still say its overpriced.

 

[mclaren]

it should only be $99 thats what i pre ordered mine for

If it doesn't come out in racing liveries pretty soon I may have to go on a hunger strike or something to draw attention to the needs of us poor demented creatures. Come on Kyosho - my birthday is coming up - surprise me with a nice looking liveried 575! Please?

Edit: some nice pictures here: never mind, I forgot this place doesn't like links to other model forums. :WTF

The comments on the other forum question the durability of the matt black finish saying that it is easily marked.

 

[winstoncds]

Congratulations Louis. Good to see that you have not completely given up on adding to your collection. I would be waiting for a liveried version though.
I agree with Noddy about the matt finish being easily marked. Its the very slate like nature of the thing and keep your oily hands of it. Guess Thorst will have a solution to it.

 

[MockingBird]

yup. it's true, the finish is easily marked, the yellow and red cars have not arrived here yet, so i bought the matt black first....

hope to see more Kyosho FErraris...
i got my car locally for around SGD$100
makes it about USD$67??? which is why i said it's super great value for wat u get

 

[JSB 33]

It sure looks mean and it looks to be a very nice diecast!
I could see where the finish could get marked up very easily, I guess this is one that you can't handle very much at all.

 

[Ronan]

Very nice Louis! It does indeed look like a model that needs to be handled with gloves on! :cheers

 

[Superleggera]

I agree with the general consensus here; that model does look fantastic. I was personally dividen on whether red or black was better, but that black does look fantastic. I would say I'll look for one when it comes down in price, but this is Kyosho we're talking about, that never happens.

 

[guitardave_1]

Congrats Louis. That's a fantastic looking model of a gorgeous car. I quite like the black but I think it would be too easily scratched and marked for my liking.

I will sign the petition for some liveried cars too though! I might even attempt my own if Kyosho don't deliver, though it's a pricey model to be experimenting with!

 

[mattdesign]

Matte finish is hard to protect, so that's why the auto manufactures don't do it on production cars. It's much easier to protect paint under thick clear coat.

But on the side note, I really liked the concept version of the BMW Z4M shown at the auto shows last year. We won't see the matte silver finish on production models, but it's at least this concept looks awesome.

IT'S OUT!!!! ianodance :happy ianodance

Finally! Now I have to wait for the red one...congrats on that nice plain racer :cheers
