    Bit of a boring thread in my opinion but most of my 1/18 Fezzas are red. I have a 456GT in blue, a F456M in Gold and a 612 Scaglietti in blue. I think I mean to buy most of them in red, as red is Ferrari's traditional colour, but reading through various threads it seems that a lot of you guys like the odd fezza in a different colour. Any thoughts?

    Is that the 1:43 model? I've seen them in the local hobby shop and am in love with the flat black one.

    There are a lot of Ferrari's that look best in any non-red color.

    Who'd want a 500 Superfast in bright red?

    No. Not for me anyway.
    I like to get ferraris in any color but red. I do have 6 red fcars right now, but I respray most of my models and plan on spreaying all but my f40 and my red enzo in any color but red.
    Thats just me though. I like to have the different cars. That and red has never been a favorite color of mine. i preffer blue.

    It depends how many you have
    if you have 1 or 2 that's OK
    but if you collect 40 or 50 then RED becomes boring ....


    as a matter of fact I avoid getting RED ones
    as they look boring in my shelves all the same colour
    my collection features
    a BIANCO 348
    a NERO Boxer
    a GRIGIO ALLOY 360
    a INGRID 456 etc.

    I hope MATTEL offers F599 Fiorano in other colour but RED
    otherwise I'd pass ...

    I would imagine that they would. they released a fxx in regular. im sure hotwheels understands that not everyone is willing to spend that much money and that they would make that much more if they had both versions.
