Bartlett xy

[pad67]

Hi Guys

I noticed Kevin Bartletts xygt 55e was released at a syd convention .......it dont seem to popular even thou theres only
700 made why ?

[UNDFTD]

I believe its because its crap, but thats my opinion.....im not a fan of CC's XW/XY road/race cars

dont get me wrong, the detail is there, the correct body shape isnt

Biante's XW/XY's are far more superior, again just my opinion

UNDFTD,

Could you explain a little further why you don't like the CC version? I don't have any at the moment but have been planning on buying the Bartlett and French 1971 Bathurst Falcons. I have had a quick look at both of these CC cars and thought they looked virtually the same as the Biante cars.

Hmmmmmmm ok UNDFTD thanks for the that i am thinking of buying 1 and there not cheap thats why i asked around for peoples feed back and yes biante are second to none.

CC 's look too long, good detail but. I believe the 73ATCC winner looks the best out of CC GTHO'S, the Two BW's just don't look quite right. I would go a Biante one any day, plus you get the bonus of a signed COA if you buy certain cars. The John French car can be picked up at a reasonable price and you get a signature on the COA is you go the Biante way.

well like i stated in my previous post, the detail is there (hinges, seatbelts, chrome mouldings, chrome scuffplates etc) but i believe the body shape is wrong....its long and narrow but my main concern is the rear wheel arches and the ride height in the rear. i have a 1:1 XY Fairmont that im restoring and when i compare my Biante XY models to the real thing...... Biante have the body shape down to a tee and CC simply dont.

CC need to take a good look at their R&D team.... have you seen the body shape on the 95 ad 97 Bathurst winners?
at least Biante get the overall body shape right when they constuct a model, have a look at their VR/VS commodore, im sure alot of you guys would agree that it is prety accurate.

FYI folks were talking 1:43 scale here not 1:18, the bartlett car was only released in 1:43 and there isn't much to split the two in that scale.

The two cars sit well next to each other in the cabinet so I hope these pics help you make up your mind GTHO Racers.

I have both Biante & CC XY's :)

When you scale things down there are the inevitable Scaling differences:p.

From what I understand, both Biante & CC both worked from the original Ford drawings & they both came out with different interpretations

I have the 55E Bartlett Car & IMO it looks grouse:cool:

Bartlett has been done in 1/18 hasn't it?? by CC that is

[UNDFTD]

hate to break it to you Shawn S but CC did make the 55E Bartlett Phase 3 in 1:18.......google it

Thanks guys for the replies and a big thank you to Shawn and malscar for the photos. By the way the John French car that I am speaking about isn't the 1972 Wild Violet car it's the 71 Vermillion Fire sister car to Moffats.

Am i right in thinking that because CC have produced these two cars Biante won't?
