If you missed out on the earlier colours for the TOP Marques 1:18 scale Alfa Romeo Carabo the team will be releasing a new alternative colour in Red soon. This example is resin with a sealed-body design.

TOP Marques Alfa Romeo Carabo – Red
Top Marques keeps going down in quality, it looks like a 1:43 model… Those panel lines…that rear end…
This company has become scam. They take pre-orders for cars before they’ve been manufactured and if the car doesn’t ever get manufactured they ignore the customers and do not refund. This has happened to me and others who’ve reported the same thing on well known diecast boards.
Logged in to second this – made a purchase in early 2020 and never received the product, nor any communication with respect to a refund. At this point I consider the money lost – would never ever recommend buying from this company.
I actually bought the Laudo Racing version direct on preorder. It’s true that there is little or no ability to communicate successfully with them either, and that it took a LONG time to arrive, but I felt it was a good price for the model. I think I paid £89. This car was NEVER red so why this is a choice I have no idea??. I actually sold my model for a slight profit as soon as I received it, as neither Laudo nor Top Marques have gotten the bronzed glazing correct. Why it is so hard is beyond me. Aircraft modellers do bronze canopies a lot…
Caveat emptor, re. purchasing directly
from Top Marques. I purchased & pre-paid
for a Carabo in 8/2019, and it hasn’t arrived.
