    I've been searching around and saw the list below as a "quality" guide for the various makers. I only have a few cars myself, (mostly Autoart, Minichamps and GMP), to compare to the others on the list. (Honestly, most I've never heard of before) So a couple of questions:

    1) Who makes the nicest 330 P3 or P4 in 1/18 or up? (Except for the 1:1 of course)

    2) From the list below who "generally" has the most exact replicas in 1/18 or above?

    3) Same as question 2 but for the price range of $0 - $300 USD?

    Thanks for the help guys,

    Joe

    I think the only P4 in 1:18 is made by Jouef...
    I have one and love it but its an older diecast and the quality is not all that great, but I still love it and its one of my favorite 1:18's.

    There are a few on ebay now if your looking.

    Thanks, I'll take a look. And thanks for the heads-up on the quality.

    Oh, where does BBR sit on the above list?

    How about old F1 sharknoses?

    It really depends on the scale, I like BBR for 1:43 though.. I'm sure some people will say other brands are better though.
    I love exoto 1:18 scale, but really... I like any Ferrari or Ferrari related diecast (like transporters), even the beat up or played with stuff...

    I'd love to find some of those transporters. A couple of years ago someone had both a Mercedes and Ferrari late 50s/early 60s set. They looked great.
