    What are your opinions on the best model of the 330GTC, regardless of scale?

    Thanks.

    BBR made a very good rendition in 1:43 scale a few years ago. You can find them occasionally on ebay for under $250. I bought one a few months ago from a seller in Europe. AMR also made this in 1:43, but expect to pay $400 + on ebay. I'm not sure which is more accurate; AMR took more artistic freedom with their models, for what it's worth. Both have nice detail.

    BBR is resin, AMR is white metal.

    You don't see them very often on ebay. I found BBR 76c in Janauray 2006 and paid +GBP200. It is probably one of the better BBR models in my collection, IMO, and worth the extra dollars. I also have a BEST, which is quite ordinary by comparison (and quite a lot cheaper):)

    That looks very nice in blue. I bought the red bbr76a in January for $225 USD + shipping. The red may be more abundant, or I got a killer deal. I would like to think the latter.

    Thanks for your replies. I have the factory built BBR, so I guess I can't hope to find one much better than that. Mine is grigio fumo with red interior. I would like to find someone qualified to repaint it oro chiaro, the color of my real GTC. Can anybody recommend someone to do that kind of work?

    Thanks again.

    I have the silver version. - it's beautiful! If you'd like to trade, let me know (I like your blue one).

    It's out of production but Ferrari made a great 1:1 ages ago ;-)
