Excellent job building and painting your Revell Miami Vice '72 Ferrari Daytona Spyder, Raoul! Thanks for telling the history of the cars used in Miami Vice too!
Love the cars you build and really love the trivia and history on the cars, thanks. Please get a motorized turntable for the in house filming. I get anxious waiting for you to turn it so I can see all angles. 🥴
Quite a story behind these Ferrari replicas used on "Miami Vice". That was a show I enjoyed in its earlier seasons but didn't really follow it in its later years. I also recall an article saying that there was no way Crockett could afford a car like that on a real police officer's salary!
In the story they are government seized drug dealer possessions. Used for deep cover. Along with the watches, jewelry and clothes. I cut that out and some stuff other stuff as it was just getting too long. Thanks.
That is the fun thing about the car modeling hobby: the story behind what ends up on our shelves. I have always loved the Daytonas. My 1st exposure being a 1/64 slot car of a coupe. I have had the kit for some time, and began researching it a couple of years ago when I ALMOST pulled it out of the stash and started building it for a group build with out mutual friend John K. Dezan. Your knowledge added to that I had already gained about the show and cars. I was familiar with the McBurnie name, but the name Mardiccio was new to me. One other obvious tell about the Ferrari vs. the replica is the windshield shape. The Ferrari windshield is visibly different from the retained Corvette Windshield. A question and a show fact to add. What colors did you use for the interior? The interior, and the whole car looks gorgeous! And when the Testarossa started on the show, it too was black, but with all the filming they did at night, it was determined a white car would show up better. Thanks for another great video!
Thank you. Lots of interesting stories to dig up. I know the Testarossa’s were black. I think I mentioned that in the video I have on them but don’t remember for sure if I did.
I remember my interest for the show slowly fading…it went on for 5 seasons! And of course being a Dukes of Hazzard generation kid, nothing else would rise excitement ever again like that 01 numbered orange Charger did.
I don’t think they cared that much about the US market but did some changes for the US cars. The US cars had pop up headlamps and that cost more to design and produce. The non US cars had stationery lamps and clear covered windows.
Beautiful build. Realky interesting history. It's kinda ridiculous. If ya think about it, Ferrari wanting to sue the show for using a moc car that was increasing the sales of Ferrari. I just don't get it
Ferrari was protecting the brand and image. They all do it. It’s one thing making a replica for the show. Plus the show never mentioned that it is a replica and it portrayed as a Ferrari. Just like an actor is really just faking it. But these were available for sale and those replicas were making money off of the image of a Ferrari. It is a counterfeit copy really. And as a manufacturer you don’t want fakes running around. But even Ferrari was upset that companies were modifying real Ferrari Berlinettas (coupes) and cutting them into Spyders (convertibles).
'Who in the world shoots a rpg at my daytona for target practice?' Well, nobody told him unless bad guy wanted to show off his big boy toys 😅 anyway nice work on both ferraris they're amazing to look at with mirror and one thing to tell you is that blow up scene in season 3 is actually a scale model not real car so where did i get this info form another youtube channel that talks about t.v./movie cars all right then have good day bye now.
I saw his channel mention that but it contradicted what I read. The explosion doesn’t look scaled down and this was before CGI. I really don’t know the full story on that either but found it interesting.
@TheMuscleCarModeler oh thanks for responding sir and yes i saw that scene very closely it's model so the fact is true on second watch anyway you have good day i got to go bye now.
I built both of those model kits back in the late 80s!! Very cool!!
So did I. Very cool!
Me too! Still do in boxes somewhere lol.

Thanks. This one I really had a lot of info to share. I had more that I left out and was thinking about editing more out to get closer to 15 minutes.

I think it’s funny Revell actually released the kit to mirror the car in the show with the Corvette parts and all 😆
Yes. Very interesting and I wonder if the actually got to see the real car.
Lmao, the Revell kit is the ferrari parts on the corvette body! you can tell from the missing wind window on the doors!
Very interesting history about the cars. You did a great job building this one. It looks very nice. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful build! Cool story behind it. Thanks for sharing.

Nothing was cooler that watching that Charger throw dirt and jump stuff. Well I did think KITT was cool also but that show was not as fun.
The front corner lights are the most massive I have ever seen… The Italiens were worried it wouldn’t pass the US regulations?😅
