HISTORY (ORIGINAL VEHICLE)
We bet you always want to know what a CMC model looks like underneath its body. Using the Maserati 300S (Item number M-105) as an example, we are revealing the sophisticated inside of CMC models. Indeed, there is every reason for CMC to show rather than hide it.
After the removal of the body, a so-called rolling chassis lies open before your eyes. This rolling chassis allows a revealing look into the design of its delicate tubular space frame, the wheel suspension systems, and the drive train, including the drive line arrangements of the engine and the rear axle transmission (transaxle). You are also able to find the cooling system with an upstream oil cooling line, the gas and oil tanks made of stainless steel plate, and the fine details of the cockpit, which is decked out with the original dashboard and the genuinely leather-covered seats.
This piece of model-building art is complete with an authentic recreation of the framework on which the body rests.
