It was great indeed, an early model with no wings or big bodykit! Yellow with black bonnet and details

Now go and get that Pantera......

Nice addition, TT. I want a GTO someday as well (both model and 1:1 if that's possible ), but I want a red, silver or dark blue one without decals. I always want cars to be as 'stradale' as can be. Those Bangs offer quite a lot of detailing for very small prices. Too bad they put these solid lumps of plastic in as headlights. They usually put me off buying one.

Glad to see Danny is also coming round, considering 1:43. Oh well, there's always someone else who needs tto become a convert... ^^^^

Didn't get many models this Xmas, but still a couple nice ones, and a gadget

Now beat this paintjob!! (1:43 Bburago)


And other one was just an AA 1:43 Veyron

Yes Veyron looks great. I wait for production version in 1/18. 8) Paintjob looks nice but on this F40 it´s not that good IMO

Well, I already have a boring red F40 and I am a sucker for "not red" Ferraris so when it is something wicked, it has to be mine! This one was for sale for 50 Swiss Francs instead of 100, so a bargain too

Also a marvellous collection, TT. Congrats. Your thread here is the ONLY one in JW where the word "FABBRI" is mentioned. Therefore may I ask for your kind help:

I have bought IXO Ferrari Models. In box which is in very nice red box itself. They cost around 30 €.

Now, I have also bought some IXO/FABBRI from eBay. The shape of the body is exactly the same, some minor detail variations exist in painting (i.e. door handle). They cost around 9€ at eBay. I saw that those models are refferred here as "newsstand" models.

So.. can you please clarify the difference between IXO and IXO/FABBRI models..

Thanks in advance!

Yup, Fabbri ones are newsstand ones.. slightly lower quality, created for Fabbri by IXO, on a larger scale I guess

The paintjob on your F40 is very original...and funny !

You have a very nice AUTOart Veyron, I'm currently waiting the production model of the Veyron in 1:18 scale by AA before buying it.

Well, it was time to bump this topic up, even if just for a single model and not even one I bought myself

It was a present the guy with the orange Diablo SV I indepthized the other week took with him for me. Even if the interior color is quite weird, I love it and it will bring back memories forever. Quality also seems pretty good for a Bburago afterall!
