MR Collection is expanding their assortment to include the massive 1:8 scale. The first model in production is the stunning Bugatti Chiron, definitely the right choice for their fist experience in 1:8 scale. MR Collection promises “rich in detail” and design “studied carefully”. And based on initial images they weren’t kidding! Press release is found below.
“Setting new ambitious goals and pursuing them with determination: this is the philosophy that let MR Collection Models, year after year, bring model cars collecting towards higher levels of perfection. So here’s the big news for 2017: the first model in the new 1: 8 scale will be available by summer.
The 1:8 is a very interesting scale that MR Collection has decided to produce in order to offer the most demanding enthusiasts the opportunity to collect extremely accurate models, rich in details which are studied carefully.
The first model of this new series will be the Bugatti Chiron, the queen of the Geneva Motor Show 2016, which in short time became a style icon and a benchmark of performance. We already can show the pictures of the first decorated model and we expect to start the distribution of the first pieces by summer.
The new 1: 8 scale line will include both present and past cars, so that collectors can realize their dream of owning an high-end replica of their favorite sport cars.”
Product# MR8_01
Is this closed shell?
Yes.
Be interesting to see where these are priced. Since they are sealed models and are cheaper to make with no engine detail, just alot more resin than a 1/18.
MR said that the price will be around 5000 euro.
Less than Frontiart and Amalgam.
I think we should check the quality of the final model to judge. :)
AA are making a Chiron yes?
Yes, 1:18
