    Are there fake MR Collection models. I have a car the has on the base "Assembled by MR Collection"
    I have no way to verify if this is real or not. Just asking because I would like to know the value.
    Thanks in advance.

    Can anyone tell me what it is worth? I bought it a few years ago and it has been in my closet since then.

    Indeed, MR has built F1 models years back. I had purchased some while visiting MR in Italy at the time. According to Egidio Reali these kits were his own brand and not BBR kits. These MR F1 models were never a real success over the BBR F1 models.
    I used the MR F1 models on several diorama set’s I built.

    MR confirmed my suspicion that this model is not a real MR. I assumed this when I bought it and thankfully did not pay the price for a real MR.
