The legendary Italian coachbuilder Touring started the business in 1926 and worked on prestigious marques such as Alfa Romeo, Ferrari and Aston Martin. After the closure, which took place in 1966, many years had to pass for a rebirth, in 2008. The company's mission today is the transformation of high-level cars into limited series. In the list of possible elaborations there is the Aero 3, based on the Ferrari F12. Each transformation requires several thousand hours of work.
Tecnomodel, a historic brand of Italian artisan model making, is today a manufacturer of excellent quality models, in 1:18 and 1:43 scale, manufactured in China. Tecnomodel was appreciated in the past with high-level products, kits and assembled in 1:43 scale, and then adapted to the new needs of the market. Today the Tecnomodel catalog is focused on racing cars: F.1 cars, Sports Prototypes and so on. Recently, the production of 1:43 scale subjects has also been resumed.
