    for serious 1/18 folks, this is the best I have found. You can even buy handmade wire wheels to retrofit to Mattel/Bburago and Revell.

    It's worth taking some time to shop around.

    Good find - thanks for sharing.
    I had a 308GT4 kit some years ago (can't recall manufacturer). Do you know if there's a Mondial T Coupe 1/18 out there ? Proving harder to find than a molar in a hen's mouth.

    I love seeing sites like this, but at the same time, it's depressing because I realize I have *SO* far to go until I can say my 1/18 collection is anywhere near "complete."

    My ultimate goal is to have one 1/18 model for every Ferrari (1:1) produced, assuming a diecast is available. That is, I'm not interested in having every 1:18 250GTO or 348 that's ever been produced by various companies - 1 348TB/TS/Spyder is enough. My Mattel collection is *near* complete with respect to roadcars, but there are a couple that I think I should get soon before they're near impossible to find.

    Thanks!

    PS - Is a Euro more or less than 1 USD?

    I have that with 1:43, but especially in the early days, Ferrari's were made in many variaties by many coachbuilders, so I'll doubt it will ever be complete.

    I hope not. Nothing is as depressing as a completed collection. Than what would I do to get rid of my money? Go out and buy an actual Ferrari???

    I just find the racing version of F355 that I need.But the shipping fee to Taiwan should be a lots of money.
