Ferrari 355 GTS, 1/43 James Bond collection by Universal Hobbies

Today one Ferrari again. Well you know I am huge fan of the prancing horse, so this time one from James Bond collection. As you can see the display box is there, model is nice and the figurine in the car is well done, although I like models more when there are no drivers in it. This model is of Ferrari 355 GTS from a movie Golden Eye, made by Universal Hobbies. 

Danas jedan Ferrari, opet. Kao što zante ja volim Ferrari modele i vrlo ih rado skupljam pa je tako na red došao i ovaj model, a to je jedan iz Džejms Bond kolekcije. Dosta dobro urađen model sa dovoljno detalja u razmjeri 1/43 koji proizvodi Universal Hobbies. Model Ferrarija 355 GTS mi je nedostajao u kolekciji pa se ovaj ubrzo tu našao.

Model je dobro urađen, farba je solidna, završna obrada je onakva kakvu i možete očekivati od novinskih modela (dobra ali ne i izvanredna) ali model ima i par grešaka. Po meni dvije greške koje zaista bodu oči su veličina i postavljanje točkova i rupe za vazduh sa strana modela koje nisu čak ni ofarbane. Posebno ova prva mana je nerešiva i nemoguće je ukloniti, dok se za rupe možda ipak može postarati malo maketarske farbe ili nešto tome slično.

Fine made model, with nice paint and finish. All I can say that I would prefer it to be without driver but, it is not that big flaw. However the model has few major flaws, and those are wheel size and placement, and even bigger one is the side air ducts which are not painted. The problem with air intakes are relatively easy to fix, but wheel size is something that is impossible to change. 

All other on the model is well done, on the paint you can see small spots of silver paint, those are not mistakes or errors in paint, but those should be bullet holes that this car suffered in the movie. These things were confusing me but after a while I figure it out.

Možda vas buni i to što model po sebi ima neke čudne srebrne tačkice. Pa ako je tako ne brinite i mene je bunilo, pa sam skontao posle malo mozganja da se najverovatnije radi o rupama od metaka koje svaki auto iz nekog od Bond filmova ima. Mislim da i u ovom slučaju je to ta srebna farba. Sve u svemu to mi i ne smeta toliko koliko možda bih volio da vidim da nema tog vožača za volanom ali ajde... 

Ono ipak što ne trebamo da izgubimo iz vida je sitnica da ovaj model je mene (a mislim da bi i vas) koštao nešto više od 10 Eura i mislim da za te novce teško da možete da dobijete bolji model, posebno ovako upakovan i urađen. Ipak svako ima svoj ukus pa eto vidjećete slike pa ćete prosuditi sami ali ja bih rekao da ako imate priliku da po cijeni od 10ak Eura kupite ovaj model, onda je to fina investicija. Uživajte u slikama i očekujte uskoro neke vrlo zanimljive modele.

Before any judgment of the model I always consider the price, and the thing that I bought this one for a little more than 10 Euros, I can say it is one fine model. Hot many models in this kind of display and with a lot of details can be bought for that much money. Enjoy in images, and expect some better images and models soon.
