  1. The only upgrade you need is the Kontemax's brace. Max

  8. If I run a shelf queen is no more a shelf queen, it's a runner. If I build a NIB is no more a NIB, is a new built. Max
  9. It is not easy to explain these nuances of language that are currently used but to explain them we need to stop and think about them a lot, because they are often used and we don't even know exactly how and why. As in all languages, I suppose. Furthermore, Italian is a very difficult language, I think. Max
  10. I speak Italian. "Corsa" is the action of running but it's not a verb, it's an adjective. So "corsa" can be a foot race, a horse race, a bicycle race, a marathon or a car race and always refers to the event (or spectacle) and not to the action of running. Corsa is singular and refers to a specific single race but written on a car the meaning changes slightly to "made for races" or "made for racing". "Fiat Abarth 1000 Corsa" is the abbreviation of "Fiat Abarth 1000 da corsa" which means that this particular car model is dedicated to the action of racing. "Da" is a complement of purpose. "Corse" is the plural of "corsa" and refers not only to racing events (plural, more than one event, one race) but also, by extension, to the entire world, culture, stories and imagery that revolve in general around them. "Reparto Corse" means "department dedicated to racing" therefore "racing department". For example, "Ducati Corse" is the abbreviation of "Ducati Reparto Corse", Ducati Racing Department. I don't know why Tamiya changed the word from "Corsa" to "Corse", maybe a mistake? Or perhaps a lack of precise historical documentation? Or maybe they read "Corse" elsewhere and thought that was the right word and "Corsa" was wrong. In reality, historical research should be done to understand which word Fiat Abarth chose to use because in the end both can be used for this purpose. Max
  11. Because Japanese needs many many time to decide. And yes, the perfect absolute graphic design is a little black point in a white paper sheet. Max
