    They seem to make good models but I can't really tell if they are worth the price from the pics. The prices are exorbitant and the pics don't make them look like anything special. Does anyone have one of these? Are you happy with it? Good quality? They have a wide range of models and seem reputable but I don't know.

    p.s. Anyone bring out their Ferraris lately? All I've been seeing are Bentleys and Maseratis.

    I am not sure what are you talking about. Cavallino is mainly an official dealer for companies like BBR and Kyosho. As far as I know they don't produce models, but provide a customization service based on existing models. Is this what you are talking about?
    If this is the case then I can not tell you anything as I never used their services. I am sure there are people here who have.
    As far as buying models from them (I've purchased Kyoshos from them) they have always provided great service to me and their prices are always competitive.

    Cavallino Models is about high end models. Not your typical toystore Hotwheels. Prices are high, but that is the market their in. I have used their services recently for the first time and I can say they are top notch.

    I can not think of the person's name right now, but someone from there actually posts here. Everything I have heard about them is good. They will take any available 1:18 Ferrari and make it match yours if you want. Or they can make it the way you want it.
