They do look good. I thought they were a bit steep also.

I've heard that Pinto's work is very nice. I wish I had the $ for them. For the price, however, I prefer my Cox and Hong Kong conversions.

FPP have now also added the Ferrari D50 kit and some nice hand laced wire wheels/tires in several sizes. Very hard to find sizes for 1930's and 1950's GP cars!!
If you compare FPP kits to the Japanese resin they are not expensive at all. And they have more detail than most of the Studio 27 kits. I hope you will support this company from Spain.

I totally agree with Tom on the quality over any of the Japane$e kits. "Quality fit" is key to me if I'm going to pay for it.
I really would like the Matra to go with my early Matra cars.

I have a set of the 1/24th scale 1930's GP wire wheels now and they are amazing. Worth every penny.

Strange... After seeing this thread, I went to ebay and easily found the FPP Modelo kits. Price a bit steep for me, but very interested in the Matra MS80 if I could somehow figure out how to justify the purchase at some point in the future.
But now I can't find them anywhere on ebay or using Google.
Could someone post a link to where these kits are currently listed, on ebay or anywhere else selling them?
Thanks,
Cameron

Next up...Porsche 804 French GP and Mercedes W154 1938 in 1/24th scale.
About time someone figured out 1/24th scale is for F1 and sporstcars. Tamiya really screwed things up back in the late 1970's with 1/20th scale F1!!!

I now have the FPP Porsche 804 in 1/24th and he nailed this car!! I don't care what scale you collect you should buy this kit.
He caught little details that I am 100% sure Hiro would miss if they ever had the brains to do this car. I also ordered one of his 246's in kit form. These are old school kits with very little machined or photoetch parts(they use photoetch way to much now days). The steering wheel is even correct with sharply molded in detail, not a pile of photoetch parts. The wheels are perfect with correct brake covers on the inside. I will have several FPP kits at the Ferrari Expo and Strickly 43rd/Route 66 shows in 1 week.

The Porsche 804 has some engine detail but is only a very detailed curbside. The cockpit casting is amazing as is the suspension. I had one at Ferrari Expo and it sold 5 minutes after the show opened by the first guy who drooled on it!!!
The Vanwall VW5 should be out in a few months. Can't wait for the next 1/24th vintage car he announces.
