  This limited Corsica edition of 1,000 pieces worldwide provides a new idea of model building as an art. While you get the same fully equipped and functional Corsica model, it is devoid of deco paintwork.  With this, we are able to reveal all the high-class materials used, together with their natural looks as well as the extraordinary craftsmanship employed to build the model.

   

  If someone has said that a model is worth seeing only with flawless paintwork on, he or she is likely to reconsider after viewing our unpainted “rough diamond.” In its clear finish, this Corsica model is as impressive as any painted ones. As the proverb goes, “beauty is skin-deep.”  And real beauty should come from within.

   

  This is something that CMC does not have to worry about. Its models are products of fine, traditional craftsmanship.  Parts and components are made of solid, quality materials.  Apart from zinc alloy as a primary material, CMC also uses non-ferrous metals like copper, brass, and stainless steel to make hoods, floor panels, covers, trimmings, and so on. Furthermore, you will discover in our models the use of real leather (seats, side panels of the doors), premier rubber (tires), aluminum and stainless steel wire (rims, spokes, etc.) and textile (floor linings).

   

  Of course, CMC cannot make do without some use of synthetic materials. But they must be of the best quality and are also used sparingly, primarily in powertrain components.

  For permanent protection against discoloration and/or patina, the surface of the model is covered with a clear coat.

   

  Treat yourself to a model car of an extraordinary kind, and you will be amazed.
