    Here are pics of my collection so far. Just recently I started collecting other marques other than Ferrari. What do you guys think? Most are 1/18 scale.

    Excellent collection and it looks great. How many Ferrari's do you have? Where did you get the glass storage rack?

    Got the cases from below - I have no affiliation with them, but can tell you they are awesome cases and quick shipping.
    http://www.diecastdisplays.com/18.html
    The ones I have are the 12car 1/18 scale cases. They have one pin at the bottom. The more you buy the cheaper they are. I had bought 4 last year and bought 4 just recently. I have 8 total..

    Counting all the scales I have 58 Fcar models.. My girlfriend got me a 599 and found a UT model identical to my car for Christmas. Yellow/Black 355
    I also have a few more Porsches, a Vector, Lambo Countach, Jaguar XJ220 and Maserati MC12 coming from Ebay ..

    I to have a Ferrari collection, The total number of cars in my collection is about 110. I have been collecting for about 15 years. The collection consists of 1/18 & 1/43 models. I am now in the process of upgrading my collection from the HotWheels and Bburago models I bought a long time ago to the HotWheels Elite models that are currently available. You cannot see the 1/43 models as they are in the back of the cabinets.

    To date I have purchased the Testarossa (red), 288 GTO (red & yellow), F40 (red & yellow), Enzo (red & yellow), FXX (red & blue), SuperAmerica (red) and 599 GTB Fiorano (red). I am waiting for the F430 Spider, the F50.

    The Bburago and HotWheels 1/18 models that have been replaced I plan to sell along with a number of 1/24 models.

    Also want to say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.

    I see you have a 64 GTO - been trying to get one for 6 months. Found one on Ebay the other day bid up to $75 for it and it sold for $76--of well...
    I started off collecting anything and all colors. It got real expensive, real fast. So I sold all my off colors and now only buy Ferrari's in red...

    Also what is above the F40 and below the 288??

    Unless I'm misunderstanding the question, that's a 288 GTO Evoluzione, probably Jouef.

    Really nice collection. I also collect diecasts and i can see you have some really beautiful cars. I see that you wil soon be getting an MC12, i can say this is one amazing car. It looks great and is brilliantly accurate. It even comes with the removable targa top roof too!

    The cases are great, i realy need some for my cars, i collect 1/18's and 1/43's. Mainly 1/43 F1 cars though and some selected others!!

    it's a pocher 1/8 scale testarossa.
    Was built from 1988 till mid 90's. Pocher is no longer producing modells.
    They made a TR, a TR agnelli spider, an F40 and several others including a porsche 966. This range was easy to build without glue and very realistic.
    Pocher also made a classic line with very detailed oldtimers including alfa's mercedes Bugatti and rolls royces.

    The Pocher modells are biggggg 1/8 scale.

    Kits of the TR are around 400 dollar, built models vary from 100 to 400 dollars depending on quality and state. Replacement parts like mirrors, wipers and other small items are easy to buy through the internet or ebay. www.scaledetails.com has a whole range of parts.

    They are very easy to buy on ebay.
    Because they weigh around 7 kilos shipment by mail is quite expensive.

    They should if they are 1/18 scale. The FXX fits fine and is the same size as the MC12.

    Yes, as moriaan! says the circled model is a 1/8 scale Pocher Testrossa. On the bottom shelf of the same cabinet is a 1/8 scale Pocher red F40 model. The body panels have been removed as in our move frome one house to the next it was damged and needs to be painted.

    I bought both pocher models from Pocher in Florida about 10 years ago. Buiding the Pocher models was night and day. The F40 was quite easy to build however the Testarossa was much more difficult with respect to fitting the pieces together and the overall fit and finish of the model. But when they are completed they look good. As moriaan1 says the models are quite heavy, they have working suspension, steering, opening doors and bonnets (front & rear), rolling tires, and a gear shift that actually moves in the slotted shifter

    On the shelf directly below the Pocher Testarossa is a Tamiya 1/12 red F50. And yet to be built is a Tamiya 1/12 red Enzo.

    I really enjoy collecting these models. I also have three examples of the Anson 328 GTS models. One in black, one in red and one in yellow. The black one matches my real Ferrari in the garage.

    I have more detailed pictures of my collection. If you want send me an e-mail and I can send you additional pictures.
