    Who made it, BBR or Tecnomodel?? That is not accurate for the press version as it had a normal 365BB nose and no wing on the back yet. Plus this was a NART contraption.

    I just ordered the LookSmart version of the 1:18 Ferrari F60 America. It it around half the price of the BBR version. It will be interesting to see how it compares in detail and shape and finish to the BBR version.

    I'll post up picks when I receive the model, assuming LookSmart actually makes the car. :)

    I have one Looksmart model, the 250LM; it's lacking in quality compared to BBR models, I would rank it third, below BBR and Spark in paint finish and quality.

    They spelled Scuderia wrong on the Filipinetti. Between that and the mirrors on their Maserati 151/3, there's a lot of sloppy work going on.

    I noticed that too...hope it's a pre production sample....but i'm really concerned about the wrong colour on the rims of the nº 16...wich is stupid because their 1/43 model is correct.

    That's a 246 sp? Maybe, nobody talked about it but eventualy i think someone like Tecnomodel might do it....

    Yes, it’s the 62 Nurburgring winner and driven by Phil Hill, so it’s pretty significant.

    I wish Technomodel, BBR, and MG models would acknowledge my recommendations sometimes :)

    We’ll see.

    Nice car for sure...In the meantime,you can by the 61 tr from lm (Looksmart)...it looks a bit like the 246;)

    It would be nice to see some versions of the 121LM and 750 Monza that were previously done in 1/43.
