Ferrari F1 312B2, GP Replicas 1/43


GP replicas, novi proizvođač, pa da se malo fotografiše i malo da se piše, u principu je OK, ali ima par stvari koje mi smetaju...

GP replicas, many collectors have started to ask about this manufacturer, so I took a few photos and here you go, a fair model that could be so much better...


GP Replicas su se pojavili relativno nedavno, ima par godina, a sa Ferrari modelima su počeli mislim prije možda godinu ako ne i manje. U jednoj online prodavnici prije par mjeseci vidim ovaj model i pomislim, da moram da vidim kakav je kvalitet. Cijena je relativno visoka, oko 70 Eura, ali je u redu što se tiče kvaliteta. Fin model, resin naravno, kao samo 500 komada, ali ko to može znati sa sigurnošću. Sve u svemu vrlo zanimljiv, posebno zbog toga što su modeli iz 1972.godine malo ređi u 1/43 u Ferrari programu. Razlog tome je što je 1972 korišćen isti auto kao i 1971 godine sa sitnim izmjenama i dugo ga kao model iz 1972 nije pravio niko sem Quartzo (u sklopu one stare la Storia kolekcije). 

GP replicas, interesting new models in 1/43th scale. They started a few years ago, but with Ferrari cars they started maybe not more than a year ago. So, once I have seen it in a online store, I had to try my luck and to buy one, just to check the quality and to see how that new manufacturer is producing stuff. A price a bit high, with 70 Euros, in my opinion a bit high for the quality but it is manageable to sell. This one was interesting to me as 1972 car is not that common among Ferrari F1 cars in 1/43, and for quite some time only Quartzo made one (GP Germany 1972, #4 J.Ickx) as part of first La Storia collection.


Što se ovog modela tiče, pa dobar je dosta dobra. Ne znam da li je dobar kao i Looksmart (koje sam propustio...) ali solidan, ima tapaciranu unutrašnjost što je simpatično, iako bi bolje bilo da je tkanina nego ovaj čupavi tapacir, ali nema veze. Farba je dobra, oblike je OK, ono autić je toliko malo da se teško može baš naći neka krupna greška. Ono što meni smeta je što je model generalno predstava modela koji je tokom godine vožen i nije sa neke trke, i još jedna mana a to je da retrovizori bi trebali da budu pod uglom a ne ovako upravno na pod postavljeni, ali sitnice. Ostalo je dobro. Ako se opet pojavi nešto zanimljivo od GP Replicas, pa kupiću opet. Da li ću biti oduševljen modelom, pa vjerovatno ne, ali sasvim zadovoljan...

As far this model is about, quality is good, I am quite sure it is not as good as Looksmart (the one I missed, and I am really sorry for that...). It has nice coated interior which is interesting, but not really accurate, as some fabric would be better than coating, but it is a nice touch. As far the paint, body shape, and livery it is done fairly. The car is so small so you can not find much places where they messed up the job, or where they could messed up :D. Love the rear wing though! I am only bother by two things, one and most important one is that this model is not a car from some particular race, but it is a replica of a car used that season, and second not that annoying is that mirrors should be at some angle and not like this, straight up, but that is a minor mistake. The question is, if I find something new from GP Replicas interesting, would I buy one, well yes... but would I love it, probably I will be happy with it, but far from amazed.
