A yellow Ferrari is a crime against nature imo

No way! Red is overdone on Ferraris, nice to see a different color on the hyper-Ferrari lineup. Question is, where is the yellow F50 and Enzo?

Yellow Ferrari > Red Ferrari

Can't find any yellow HWE Enzo that don't cost nearly $300, while yellow BBR ones are over $500 -__-
Only the black HWE Enzo can be found at more reasonable prices. I will get a yellow Maisto F50 though. Got a red Bburago one right now, but I like the Maisto more.

Will a normal one not be ok? http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=262532660185&globalID=EBAY-GB

I could probably deal with a regular one, then spice it up a bit with some detail work. We shall see...

ToMo says the Harrods F1 GTR has SHIPPED.

Crosses fingers and toes there is no QC issues. #knocksonwood

With so many models, that might be the next step for a collector of your level.

Wouldn't be the first time I detailed up a model
And I expect pics of the F1 GTR when you get it

Yellow is the official colour of Modena, so it has every right to be on a Ferrari as Rosso does.

All I truly want is a 1:18 Toyota TS010 1993 to be commissioned. I contacted Toyota Europe asking about such a thing and apparently there was no approach.

Spark is your only hope in that regard.

And I want an affordable Nissan R92CP in 1:18 or at least not the unicorn made by Fronti Art.

About the "not Rosso Corsa Ferrari topic":

YOU'RE ALL SICK!

just kidding, I got some yellow, silver, black and blue Ferraris to, I nearly bought a carbon black LaFerrari last time

 

[AOS-]

All my ferraris are yellow.

With the exception of one, which for the purposes of this post I will not identify.

It's a sign.

It's a sign you're into little cars.

I think.

I may or may not like 1/43 cars...

Don't you like a surprise?

Yes, I do like surprises...

Any suggestions on shipping diecast models to keep the doors/ trunk and hood from flopping around? I was thinking something like painters tape but that might come loose or leave marks.

Elastic bands are probably your best bet. They can be easily snipped for removal and they won't mark.

1:18 Exoto Nissan R90-V Men's Tenoras

Have you did practice pit stops yet with the working air jacks and wheels and refueller yet or is that just me?

 

[AMG.]

All my Nissans sit on their air jacks when on display. Removing wheels from Exotos/CMCs - no - had a bad experience doing that

 

[AOS-]

I'm about to sell a CMC for an Exoto soon.


But other than that, if anyone else wants to be a future owner of a Lichtenstein 320i, here's an opportunity:

Don't use tape, especially not a general purpose masking tape with a rubber based adhesive. Definitely don't use it on cars with any kind of decals.

If you were to use tape on a plain bodied die-cast, I'd recommend using one with a silicone adhesive, the kind used as high temperature masking in electronics applications, if you googled 'Kapton' it would be a good place to start, or other such high temperature Polyester silicone masking tapes. It should be low-tack and is least likely to leave residue.

Just received my first ever 1/18 BBR:

Show us every dollar that went into making these half-a-grand models.

👍

Even with the terrible currency exchange rate, it "only" costed me 400 CAD. 277 Euros to be exact.

Most of the money went to the base(it's very heavy) and Ferrari's pocket.(hefty licensing fees) It can't be laboring costs, since this wasn't made in Italy.

Nani.

Who what when and where did you get this for so low?

Ck are getting rid of a lot of BBR's just now.

I just added another V8 to mine

CK still has two of them remaining at that price, as of now.

 

[AOS-]

That's awesome. I have email notifications from CK, but I never check them.

I was under the impression you bought it off someone privately, which is why I was curious.

I'm not looking to own a BBR any time soon, even if I were to have access to one for $250.
