I have plenty of 1/18th scale cars, some 1/24th & 1/43rd. I've always wanted to get a 1/8th scale Ferrari Pocher kit. They are no longer in business, but some unbuilt F40 & Testarossa kits are going for about $650.00 on EBAY. There is a company that even makes custom add-ons for the Pocher kits. Engine stands, tool kits, Floor mats, custom BBS wheels sets, etc... Very cool stuff. | ||

I don't have room for the 1/18 scale, but I didn't realize that, when I started the collection...  BTW: Exoticar is expecting 308 (!!!) 1/18 from Kyoto by the end of the month. They'll sell like hotcakes I'd say. | ||

Jouef did a great job on 1/43 models or at least there limited ones. I have a GTO Evolution that is just fantastic. Then again I am a 1/43 guy. I don't have the space for 1/18s. I am not sure, but I think that Eagle used Jouef dies. | ||

I fully agree with Terry. There is also a French company called Jouef. They're not the best, but they made some F cars nobody else did. | ||

I have a whole bunch of BBR models. They're the best I could find at the time. I think they specialize in smaller models though. | ||

Kyosho, makes some of the best 1/18. They only have a Daytona and BB365 GT available now. I think the BB512 has been discontinued. For Road cars they are the only option other than Hot Wheels for new models. Bburago, Anson, Eagle & Mysto(sp?) all used to make Ferraris and you can sometimes find them on Ebay, but Bburago and Mysto(sp?) are no better than Hot Wheels. | ||
