    Just ordered a 488 GTB and am looking for a high end 1:18 model (in red).
    Does anyone have suggestions?

    Thanks!

    BBr or Mr Models are your only choices, both very good but seased, with no opening parts. They will cost between 320 to 400 dollars. You can buy a cheap Burago with opening parts for about 50 dollars...despite being cheap they look rather good.

    The BBR is a limited edition by color so red ones are getting hard to find. There is a Rosso Corsa one on Evilbay right now for $400 which is not a terrible price. Limited to 488 pieces.
    At the (very) low end Mr. Furoni forgot Maisto who make one that can be found for about $29.

    I'll take a look at eBay - thanks for the reference. I don't think $29 model would meet my expectations. :)

    "the_stig" ... great name!!

    Fantastic! This is EXACTLY what I have been looking for. The company that made customized models for my 360 and 512TR went out of the business some time ago and I had given up on finding someone to do this. Thanks for the link!!

    Regards,

    I have a brand new in box 1/18 scale 488 GTB 85th Geneve Motor Show 2015 from BBR them which I ordered in Rossa Corso when I was initially getting a RC 488, but ended up ordering a 488 white spider instead so would like to sell it. If you are interested please email me and I can take photos and send them to you. [email protected]
