We met with CMC on the Thursday to have a chat and see what is in the pipeline during the year, there are a few models due for release during 2009.
As always CMC had a fantastic stand, the items that stood out the most were the 1/12th Horch with a polished copper finish (C-005), really fantastic looking. It will be limited to only 200 pieces.
First to be released will be the Audi Front 225 Roadster 1935. this models is made up of 1600 single parts, will be limited edition of 4000 pieces and will be avaiable in 3 colours. It is being produced to celerbrate 100 years of Audi. We saw some finished models and they were excellent. They should be released at april/May. I will put it up on the website soon for pre-orders.
The 1/18 1958 Ferrari Testarossa is due for release in 2009, but no date has been fixed, they are also working on a 1/12th scale Ferrari Dino 156F1 which may be out this year. It will be limited to 500 pieces and will retail about €2500.....Expensive but knowing CMC it will be worth every penny. There will also be 2 new Ferrari 250GT/ SWB Berlinetta, they will be both competition versions. The model comes with a silver coloured finish with light blue racing stripes.
M0-79 will be the winner of the 1961 24 hour le mans, starting number 14 and will be limited to 7000 pieces. The second will M0-77 which will be the standard unlimited version.
They are also working on a Merc 300 SLR coupe gullwing, also due in 2009. I have no photos of the Gulwing yet but will hopefully have more information in the near future. As I get release dates for these models I will put them up on the website http://www.idmodels.ie/ for pre-order.
And a small bit of good news, there will be no price increases from CMC this year....
