Default Whitep's collection: New models arrived 07 Feb



The models I've:
1) Ebbro Mugen S2000
2) Ebbro Mugen Integra Type R (DC2)
3) BBR EX150 Ferrari Enzo (Red)
4) Ebbro Arta MR-S
5) Ebbro Arta NSX

I just started collecting 1/43 scale models since last November. When I first bought the Ebbro S2000, I know I will be addicted to collecting these models. Also, I m very jealous of all the JW members' collection. I know I've to collect them myself too. I don't know how many more I will be purchasing in the future. I just hope I have a deep pocket to support this hobby.

My latest model is the BBR Ferrari Enzo. This model is freaking expensive, but I know I've to own this piece of art. IXO has one too but I want something from Italy not China, even better Ferrari licensed. There is a more exclusive version that has a leather base and limited production 100. The price is doubled of the one I've so I decided that this one is the way to go.

I finally got 2 new models from the mail. They're quite expensive after taxes. I wasn't aware of that, but I know they will be worth it . After watching too many Hot Version, I decided to get the Arta NSX as well as the Arta MR-S. I really like the MR-S, I like it even more when it is a JGTC car. I think it looks awesome. The quality of the models are ok, but I really don't like the base of the MR-S. It is much taller than the other models I have. Anyways I m very happy with my orders. better save money for my next adventure now.

The BBR Enzo is damn cool! I was close to order one when I discovered the Red Line Models. You should consider them in the future, while the IXO Enzo is "crap", the Red Line one is VERY good (check out my topic for pics), and costs 50% less than the BBR

Anyway, maybe a small collection for now, but top quality!

Oh and BTW, while BBR only has the Enzo in red (if I am not wrong), Red Line does it in red, yellow, black, silver and white at least

Yes, they have on at the store here and every time I see it, I eat my heart because when I bought my red one, only red, black and yellow were available.. if white would have been there I would have jumped on it a pimped out Enzo is a must

Thanks for the compliment everybody

TT, the redline models have the best quality for the money, but I still prefer BBR, I still think their models are more accurate (equal more expensive). I saw the redline white enzo in hong kong, it's amazing and I regret I didn't buy it. Beside redline, BBR also built white Enzo for Japanese market. Check this http://www.iidanet.or.jp/~kikyo/FerrariEnzo/

Now I m checking out Looksmart models, their quality is also very high and also 50% cheaper than BBR. http://www.looksmartmodels.com I will consider them if I have spare money

BBR also has a yellow ,a black, a dark grey and a white one you can also buy a BBR Enzo Kit =50$ and have it made ( by Brianza for example) that will cost $100
a friend of mine is selling a Brianza made BBR Enzo kit in Argento Nurburgring

Dude, your Enzo is so sweet! :shock:

I have never paid that much for a model before!
I don't think I could ever get myself to pay that much for something that small....however, after staying here awhile, that could very well change...
