Default Ferrari Enzo 1/18 by BBR...

I found it in the following site:

http://www.modelworks.co.uk/page20.html

They are going to sell it at the price of 170GBR pounds... which is approx 243Euros...

How can this be??? Its xtremely cheap, if you consider that a normal handbuilt model costs around 160euros...

My fuck it seems a wrong quote since 1:43 BBR costs around the same or just a little bit less! Why to limit it at 369 and not 399? LOL...

Well guys it seems that indeed the 1/18 BBR Enzo is going to cost around 250euros. I was looking at the Forza magazine today and i saw in an ad(i think it was from exoticar.com) the bbr 1/18 enzo. The price was around 250euros, dont remember the exact amount... So, lets start saving money

The Tamiya 1/12 Enzo costs around 600Euros...

I gotta get one of these!

Some more pics in here:

I think the reason it's cheap relative to other BBR's is because it might be made in China, which has much lower production costs and wages than Italy. Judging by the brakes, it looks to be made from molded plastic rather than the costlier photoetch pieces. Still, looking forward to seeing it in real life.
