Nice model - cmc's return to form after some questionable quality lapses in couple of previous models. I got two of these 275's - one in blue metallic and one in yellow (I like this model a lot and wanted one in metallic and one in flat color, and my 250SWB is also in yellow which I love best) and with both 275, the quality of assembly is just impeccable and far superior to the older 250 SWB (which I had to return three times until I got one with a properly good window surrounds...).
In terms of design, I love both 250SWB and 275GTB, but in my mind - when you put the two together - if 250SWB stands for jet-set age of Boeing Pan-Am, the 275GTB is on another level of opulence and sophistication- an age of Concorde! Fast yet opulent and sibaritic! That's why I went for blue and for yellow and mighty sattisfied with the models!
For CMC - this one, along with the Alfa 8C, Talbot, Bugatti 57 cabrio and Ferraris 512's (both cabrio and rennsport coupe) are probably the best assembled CMC's while the 250 SWB and Aston Zagato are notoriously not great and need careful picking through to arrive at a proper quality model...) (PS. I am excluding mercs because I am not into mercy and do not own those). Anyways, great model- enjoy! (Mine are quick photos when I just unpacked my 275's- the photos are not as great as yours as they were done with a cellphone as I typically do not photograph my models, I enjoy their tactility and three-dimentionality rather than photographs. I also like to see them under sunlight- the natural way - here under skylight, temporarily placed on my cat's sheepskin perch...) Cheers!
