    I would like to see the Lusso
    would fit into my 250 collection

    the last blue California sold for more than I paid for the truck, SWB, TR, California and the original showcase together

    Yeah I have just the original Rosso colour California, absolutely love it.
    I think it is one of the best detailed models around for the price (when new).
    Love to see CMC do a Lusso or even a 206/ 246 Dino.

    They are not made to be detachable. Would take some careful work to remove them, and probably break & damage some parts.

    I'm considering two 1/18 models of the same car, the Shelby Daytona Coupe. One is by Exoto and the other by Road Signature. I'd appreciate comments and suggestions regarding the quality of these manufacturers. Thanks

    I've never heard of Road Signature but Exoto is a very high end and expense model manufacture.

    I have bought many Ferrari F1 cars off them but admittedly they were made around 20 years or so ago so the quality of the newer releases may be even higher.

    No, but in the day, it was miracle if models would not arrive in many pieces, aka destroyed.
    I ignore if their packaging / materials have improved.

    Danke Christian.

    Yes I will probably wait for the Le Mans version, unless there is a very happy day at Spa:D, plus I just got my ticket to see Wednesday practice at LM24 and it falls on my bday, what better present than to see F P cars return to the Sarthe after fifty years!

    I haven't been to LM since covering it for Cavallino 1993-96 but this I could not miss.

    I doubt the Looksmart version is that expensive, The BBr yes, But the Looksmart should be arpund 260€, wich is the usual for theyr Sport or GT race cars....

    I like your thinking, muito bem:)!

    They are certainly a lot more competitive than the F1 team so let's see, the Toyotas are not bullet proof so anything can happen!

    ..And to be honest, there is very litle to choose between BBR and Looksmart, so paying 150/200 € extra for the BBR is a bit silly IMO.

    At first I thought it looked too ungainly as well. Certainly because Tecnomodel is quite bad getting the lines right. But this time it seems they aren't that off when looking at this picture:

    It could be considered a sports racer or a Grand Prix car...before Formula 1, which started in 1950.
