    So what is the opinion on:

    CMC Ferrari 275 GTB/C, 24H France 1966, Biscaldi/Bourbon-Parme

    Is it worth $737?

    Regards, Alberto

    The BBR is excellent , but all the window trim, headlight bezels and wire wheel spokes are photo etched and too flat, I sold mine for those reasons. On the other hand the CMC ride height looks to be excessive and on some the wheels are not centered in the openings, so neither model is perfect.

    Now, I am still where I started :(

    Personally I would go with the CMC.

    Opening parts and highly detailed engine bay, boot as well as an interior that you can clearly see with the opening doors.

    Diecast model over resin which I personally think is a preference.

    Even though both are limited edition the CMC models tend to increase in value far more then BBR models do once sold out.
    The non limited edition models of CMC like the 250 GTO and California in red now command big dollars.

    Both are not perfect and the CMC can suffer from some quality control issues but overall that would be my pick if I had to choose one.

    I have the BBR, to that particular version. I like it a lot, in terms of lines and stance i think it's better than the CMC. You will have agreat model regardless of what you chose. It depends on you budget!

    I have complained once about a 365 P2 they were about to release, because the rims were in the wrong colour, and they replied saying it was only a prototype and showed me a pictutre with the model with the correct colours...and i bought it.

    My GP Replica 246 arrived today. It’s a lovely model, some might not like the rivets but it really does look great overall.

    Now the question is: how does it compare with Exoto's, which I have and looks very good to me.

    Well I’m sure the Exoto beats it but this is a substantial upgrade on my CMR version!
