All 5 F355 Body style variations

I've collected all 5 variations, including GTS tops on and off, and Spider tops up and down, in 1/43rd scale.

The 4 black cars are Minichamps, and the Gray GTS with the top on is Detail Cars Art. 296. There's a very good reason I wanted the black models-see below

Of course I have other F355s - the 1997 World Tour car, Ixo with opening hood and trunk, James Bond "Goldeneye", 1/18th scale Hot Wheels, etc.



I also have a 1:1 scale 1998 355 F1 GTS, also in black

I'm going to make "my car". I have Hot Wheels black GTS kit and newer silver 355 F1 GTB with cream interior. My plan is to rebody the F1 with the GTS body. The body to chassis mounting points are different, but that should be workable. Tougher issue may be getting inner door panels off and swapping them.

I think I got this at least 5 years ago, long before I ever dreamt of having a real 355. I got it because I liked the "top up" model. Don't recall if I got it on ebay or at a local model car show.

The GTB has some detail differences from the other 3 Minichamps models, the GTS and 2 Spiders:

Rear lights
From turn signals
"Ferrari" script missing from deck lid
Steering wheel and inside rear view mirror match interior color-burgundy. All the others have black steering wheels and mirrors..
