Default 1:43 Ferrari Enzo by Red Line models

I know I posted it already in the scale models section but this Ferrari one beeing new, better spice it up the more we can

Not a BBR ok, but this side of BBR, I think you can't find better than this damn good quality from Red Line Models! Gosh I'm proud LOL

And I love the mirror base!!

Cost... 175 CHF some 140 USD... nto cheap but acceptable for such masterpiece!

They had also some yellow and black ones.. but red it the way to go












High-res

Sorry dude, it's not "openable". 1/43 with working doors / engine covers are rare if you don't spend LOT of money the only "cheap" one I have is a Miura Jota with engine cover that actually works..

But I can show you my 1:24 Tamya Enzo just in case

Nice model, TT! The level of detail looks good too. Il Commendatore's signature on the base is a nice touch as well.

I feel kind of stupid for asking, but is Red Line models new? Is it perhaps owned by Mattel? Never heard of it before...

Well I was ashamed to admit it myself, never heard about them, but well the quality is very high so I was happy..

Here are the infos on the back of the box:

of course it an official licensed product, Red Line is owned by an Italian Group:

C&C Innovation srl
20145 Milano

The model is sadly not hand made in Italy but produced by Minimax Importe & Export, based in Macau LOL, but manufactured in China it sure looses a bit of "aura", but it's a fucking gorgeous model, my best one in 1/43 so I'm not complaining.

Damn - I vowed my 1:43 collection will stop at 130 cars... and I have all the modern Ferraris except an Enzo - and the BBR price kept me in check.. but no.. TT can't leave well enough alone.. and has to go and find an alternative to BBR...



Curses... now I will need to add an Enzo to ther 1:43 shelf...

what u guys think is the best models for Ferraris, all mine are hot wheels but im sure there ones that are better, the main thing im concerned about are the exterior looks, like from certain angles the hot wheels ones look too skinny or not low enough

Well the Hotwheels you are talking about are for a probably the 1:18 right? Not 1:43, and yes their quality is nothing special sadly.. the best Ferrari models IMO in 1:43 are BBR, but with prices strarting around 250 USD they aren't cheap... in 1:18 scale you have no other options since, no idea why, Ferrari doesn't want to give the license to better manufacturer as Autoart and such
