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!

One more photo for anyone considering picking up these excellent 275's from cmc. The only other cmc of the equally stellar quality that I am aware of is Talbot Lago - again, seems all of those were expertly assembled and have not heard anyone returning those due to QC issues... Cheers!

Great choice in blue and yellow colour for the 275, the car is amazing in all of the colours!

I agree with you that some CMC models haven't the enough level, or some details, that in my opinion, we can't permit in model cars with this quality and prices but, I hope that the CMC guys continue on created jewells how the Ferrari 275, GTO etc more years!

Return the activity with news post, the next model that I'll show you is the Porsche 911 (991.2) GT2 RS 2017 Weissach Package by AUTOart.

Great model of AUTOart, the shapes and the specs are amazing, with the gold wheels. It's a pity that AUTOart don't make more Porsche models...

Enjoy the pics!

I still have the "oldschool" Sparks". The detail of AutoArt is stunning. If i knew AutoArt would produce this series of Porsches i wouldn't buy the Spark ones. For now i'll stay with the resins and admire your photos! Great presentation @samuelbdn ! 👏 👏 👏

Many thanks by your comment, Mario!

In my opinion, you should change your Spark by this AUTOart, I recommended it. The details of this car are amazing and you can obtain it easy in the market, still.

The last car that I've received is the Audi RS6-R ABT by Polar Master in green color. It's one of the models that I was very surprised, the quality and the details of this car are are fantastic.

The car has more details how the possibility to change the wheels, included another set of wheels, and it's very easy change it!

The market has a ver very long number of RS6 in stock but, to be honest, I think that Polar Master is the best alternative, if you want the highest quality.
