This is the 1st model I purchased from Automodello. I had originally planned on passing on this model as I thought it was outside by range of interest. Wisely after a bit of research on the prototype 1:1 that was built, I decided to make the purchase. I am very happy that I did. This a fine example of an unusual & futuristic car.

I have the Automodello model and also the Brooklin in 1/43 scale. The 1/1 was another interesting story in the history of the automobile.

Not in my wheelhouse, but very nice none the less. Superb pics of course.

To my eyes, this Corsair would have made a good "Batmobile" back in that era.  I certainly see the "Bat" look in the styling.  Love the pics!  Obviously a model I don't have, but based on its interesting story and unique look, I could be persuaded.

I hesitated because of cost, but as a car design and auto history enthusiast it was a must have. Found a non mint one that my skilled modeller friend Mat repaired to near new status. As always great pics, thanks John.
