The model presented without windshield and rear window. At the race after a stone had shattered the windshield so much air was entering the car and acting as a brake, Gendebien broke the rear screen so that the air could escape from the cabin. Packaging included COA paper and insert with a picture from the race that show car racing without windshield.
This model is the superb quality, which leaves in dust models from popular MINI_CHAMPS brand models. The picture doesn’t show the beauty of this model. Photo-etched grill, windshield wiper, shiny chrome door handles, bumpers, aluminium wheel rims, separate double exhaust parts, air deflector on a bonnet, crystal clear prints every part of the model looks great.
Such quality wasn’t imaginable for a regular production die cast model and was available only from some hand made model makers with a price tag 2-3 times of this model price.
This is a great model indeed. It is expensive but it worth it. This model has a higher price compare to other current Bang models.
ABOUT THE MODEL MAKER
Any serious 1/43 scale models collector is familiar with high quality models made by Italian model-maker BANG. The company was created after the Italian brand ‘BOX’ was spitted in two companies Band and Art Models.
BANG models still made in Italy. BANG makes mostly models of famous Italian racing and super cars with superior quality, great attention to details and accuracy. Though most castings were developed long time ago models won’t yield to newest Mini_champs models. The 7000 Series Bang models are superb quality models indeed and in my opinion the quality surpass the quality of Mini_champs!
Packaging – display case packed in a carton sleeve box.
To find Italian models on the US market isn’t an easy task.
