( PIX ) Hello My Brothers - Please enjoy the D4C " Feature Presentation " Kyosho Red Ferrari 575 GTC

Welcome friends and colleagues Grin

Our " Feature Presentation " Kyosho Ferrari 575 GTC :O

I spent many hours taking over 48 pictures of the Red Ferrari 575 GTC Evoluzione

After the post production editors completed their review - 32 pix fell on the floor

My jaw hit the floor !!!!!

But not stress out ... you will NOT be looking at 48 pictures

... so everybody breath :O Grin :))

Before we get started ...

There a few things we need to go over ....

Emergency exits are located at the rear of the viewing room

Bathrooms are located at the rear of the viewing room

Open Bar ...

And Please drink responsively

Do not drink and drive.

Please .. Give respect to others and turn off your cell phones during this presentation

OK ... we good?

Here we go

Hello and welcome to Uncle Dennis picture presentation of

1/18th Kyosho Ferrari 575 GTC Evoluzione

This offering tips the scales at 1LB & 14oz

... This sucker has a lot of heft !! ...

So be ready when you remove from the foam packing pod

I was so shocked ... I had to weigh it

It is metal Grin .... not the "Other stuff"

Included are opening doors, removable hood & deck lid ... as we will demonstrate later in this presentation

Color

OMG

This red is a true blue red

This is the red that all red dreams about being

The doors ... closing ... literally snap shut ... WHAT !!

4 piston Caliper brakes ... yeah buddy ... stop on a dime and give you 5 cents change !!

When you unpack this car ... there is removable shipping safety plastic under the rear deck ... and ... there is removable shipping safety plastic under the hood

************************
( 4 ) SNIGLETS =
*********************

( 1 ) ... The hood is not a "PERFECT" fit --- but at 3 feet away and beyond Joe Public will never notice

( 2 ) ... Ferrari Dancing horse on the rear ... to me looks a little cheesy ... but maybe I may need to remove the tape over the horse ????

( 3 ) No valve stems ... I know nothing of Ferrari and I maybe showing my stupidity ... but where R tha freaky valve stems ... Maybe Ferrari does not have valve stems on the outside of the rims like American cars

( 4 ) The 2 little handles on the back deck lid need just a tad more detail that I think can be done

************************

BUT you have to remember ...

I'm a very forgiving buyer and trust me ... all the people that will see this car will never notice the things I just pointed out

I snagged the Ferrari diecast from France

So not only did I get a great Ferrari ... but I also got a free French newspaper in the packing materials ... ew La La

I paid $112 euro ... = ... $100.00 US Dollars

Shipping was $35.00

There was a currency conversion charge in my paypal transaction

While surfing tha bay one night I found this offering && bought it

I got a really GR8T deal because .. I just now found this exact same car listed for $251.00 on eBay

SO ....

Let's get to it ... Shall we ?

Please enjoy the pix

Rick ... Would you dim the lights .. Please ?

Hope you enjoyed the presentation

In case if any of you are wondering ...

"Dennis are you happy W/ your KYOSHO purchase?"

Answer is ...

" oh Hell Yeah "

I'm very impressed.

I'm very happy

This displays very well

The Ferrari Red color just pops

It really grabs peoples attention

HEY ... This is a Red Ferrari in the Ferrari Red Color

Those 2 things right there sold me

I was hooked

I was a little concerned / holding my breath ... but upon arrival I had no problem with my $150.00 purchase

HEY ... I've paid $150 for other brands and they rotted away :O

I am Sooo happy with my purchase - That

.... I ordered the Yellow version. :O 😉 :p

YES ...... I see your googley eye look on your faces :))

I paid $85.00 US Dollars & $35.00 shipping fee.

Shipping into the loading dock straight from Greece

I hope they smuggled me some baklava 😡 :> 😉 Grin

When yellow arrives .... And when I get some free time

I'll put together some FAMILY photos and get 'em posted up here

Thanks everybody for stopping by Grin

Thank you for reviewing the 1/18th KYOSHO Red Ferrari 575GTC

Very nice! I hadn't been particularly interested in this model previously, but you may have...

... started something.

As far as I can determine, there wouldn't be any "racing advantage" to placing the valve stems on the insides of the wheels, but stranger things have turned out to be true.

Nice model anyway!

This offering is worth taking a second look

I had no idea these are in the $600 arena

NAW !!!!

To me ... and this is just me ... this is NOT a $600.00 offering

$150.00 total price ... for me ... I pulled the triger
