Suggestion for scale models

[bmagni]

hey i think of this as something to make scale models more intresting, to post like a featured car and things like that to talk about, not just collections of ours, theres lots of cars to review.

edit: i can help with bbrs !! hehehe

opinions ?

that would be kind of hard I mean there are soo many cars out there and it seems most of us have atleast a few that are the same like the 1:18 Enzo and CGT's quite a few people have the AutoArt GT3 R too.

the hotwheels ferrari enzo is ugly IMO, the detai of the engine is below average, the Maisto CGT on the other hand is quite nice and quite affordable too. wut are bbrs? i haven't seen any yet.

:cry: i check at this die cast model store last week, my absolute favourite and the only one model that i really want is priced at 1000$ canadian :cry: it's the Ford GT40 1:12 by Kyosho i think, it's in black and white stripe :cry: so beautiful yet so expensive.

wut are bbrs?


BBR
Expensive, hand made Italian models. Roughly 200USD for a 1/43 model. Excellent quality though.

BBR are not worth the cost atleast in the states Like 666fast said they are about 200usd for 1/43 first off I'm not a fan of 1/43 I'm a 1/18 guy and for about half or less the price of the BBR's I can get an AutoArt which are damn good models in their own right or a Kyosho for a bit more eventhough I have trouble finding them locally.

Quality is expensive and I don't think BBRs are overpriced when compared to 1:18. AutoArt and Kyosho make fine models, but BBR definately is couple of classes higher.

A featured model car of the month sounds like a good idea to me!

BBR are excellent. i only collect F1 cars and no one else come close to what they build. also remember tht BBR builds only about 250 compared to couple thousand to other manufacturers, so the exclusivity is there.

Oh guys about BBR models, in my store they have some very old ones in the "sales" window... I was wondering if they are worth.. I can't recall the models.. maybe a testarossa between them buy quality was pretty crappy and I basically skipped over them (priced at around 90 €)... but beside them there was a nice 355 spider, red/black for around 55.. no idea wich brand, it was there w/o a box or a plastic base and that one was sure very nice! But dang I still have that old Minichamps 355 GTS waiting for me :D

bout the 355, if it has no base or cover and its a bbr (u should ask) for 50 euros i would buy it, its a really cool car and totally worth it

BBRs F355 is absolutely great, you'll recognise the fullness of the paint immediately. I myself have two F355s from Minichamps (Berlinetta and Spider). Their not nearly as good as the BBRs, but considering the price, I'd say get them if you have the chance! Stay away from Bang and Best, I know they made the F355 as well.

I doubt that red Spider is a BBR. Since in those display windows I saw many BBR with their base, I'm guessing the ones with no base aren't BBR.... anyway well... it's impossible to plan the next model since I always see something new every time I go there LOL and since I saw the yellow 355 and decided I want it, I think I bought at least another 5 or 6 models :D
