    Very good. I would like to know what you think of the model after you have had a chance to look it over next month.

    That looks pretty nice. But is it my imagination or has something gone wrong with the Cavallino on the front grill in the last picture?

    I think you're right, the horse has fallen from its throne. ;)

    I think we are seeing a reflection in the bottom rim of the grille...not the cavallino itself..

    I have zoomed in on the picture, and i am right... it's the reflection !

    Hi Ladies and Gentlemen,

    This thread exist for more than 4 years and I couldn't find a picture of a nice 250 SWB ! So disappointing...

    I had to react !

    Hot Wheels make one in different types, but for me, CMC offers the best. A Lusso 1961 in red and yellow, or an alloy competition 1961 in red or grey, the exact copy of the famous 2689 GT.

    https://www.cmc-modelcarshop.de/fr/cmc-modeles-118.html?next_page=3

    I bought one and wanted to modify it. But because I'm not a model maker, I asked a french guy named Stephane (www.steph-replicar.com) to do it for me ! He already made me a copy of my Porsche 2.8 RSR. I wanted a copy of 2165 GT in dark blue, which he made. But I changed my mind and ask for a copy of 1993 GT. It should be finished soon. I give you some pics of his work.

    I agree with you Pedro! The only 1:18 Ferrari I have on order is the Matrix 250 P/F Spyder. Delayed in shipping from overseas. Nothing on anyone's announced lists are either of interest, or good enough for me. :(

    Maybe CMC's eventual release of the 275 GTB will be decent, but I also know there will be flaws and mistakes as always with CMC Ferrari models.

    I wouldn't put much faith in them either..it will probably be a great piece of engeneering with countless parts and details but with oversized details, wrong shape and i fear to think the livery of the racing versions!! BBR did a good enough job for me already, even if it's sealed.

    I say this but i do admire their work and have 2 pieces from them, the 250 TR wich i think it's a lovely model and the 312P, that despite some mistakes (huge rivets), does look impressive..i bought the spider, because the rivets are less noticeable that on the coupe.

    Yes, agreed, and I also have a BBR 275 GTB/4 street car, which I am very happy with.

    I just received the Tecnomodel Bandini '67 Monaco F1 Ferrari to fit with my other Ferraris. Not the best piece, but good enough for me. I wish someone would do Surtees' '66 Spa winner.

    I cannot believe a company can be so ignorant!!! So basically they picked a 126 c2 as driven in first half of the season by Gilles and Pironi and slapped Andretti's name and Tambay for the italina g.p...they just forgot the fact the the cars are very diferent!!!!

    first car from imoila 1980
    I did choose the "european" version, in fact i have the entire 126 lineup from Brumm, first car from Imola 1980, the 126ck that started 81 in Long beach, the regular 126c, the 82 c2 from Long becah with it's funny double rear wing and finally the regular 126...i'm missing precisely this later version..maybe i will get one someday.
