    I don't want to hijack this topic, but take a look at the F93A in this link. You can see that the decals on the wingendplates of the rearwing has gone all fuzzy. I'm having the same problem with my F93A. What could be causing this?

    Back on topic: I don't see a 355 GTS on this page. Also couldn't find one for UTmodels.

    Mattel/Hot Wheels have a 1:18 - 355 GTS kit out now. It is black, but being a kit, it is already taken apart and very easily painted any color of your choosing.

    Just look on eBay and you should find it.

    I have the yellow Hot Wheels version in your picture. They also have a kit in Black. That is all I know of. If you want to get a yellow one, I can get you the phone # of the guy I got mine from on eBay. I just ran across it the other day. They are a dealer but are not bad with their prices.

    Your best bet for finding UT Ferraris is eBay. But expect to pay $200+ for the red Ferrari 355 GTS. :)

    If you don't mind not having a box, I have the red HW berlinetta like the one in the link I posted earlier. (NOT MY WEBSITE) I got another one in my collection without the box when I got a collection of loose 1:18's off of eBay. I got something like 8 Cars (all Ferrari of course) for a very good price of around 30 something with shipping. Let me know.

    Yes, I know. It's ridiculous what these UT Ferraris are fetching on eBay. But like you I bought most of my UT F355's when they were readily available. :)

    You got the red UT Ferrari F355 GTS or Berlinetta for $25??? I can see getting the Berlinetta for less than $30 but not the GTS version. If you did you were very fortunate. :)

    Well congratulations then, you got a great deal on it. :)

    I've watched many of the UT red GTS's sell up to and over $200 USD.

    especially with a little detailing. I dressed the engine compartment on mine
    and installed carpeting as well as a better looking shifter, seat belts etc.
    Painted the seats a nice flat tan. The body paint job is pretty decent
    and the plastic side trim matches up surpisingly well but not perfectly.

    Be aware that unlike many 1:18 diecasts, the front bonnet of the model does not open (a shame).

    Not bad. Bought and traded lots of them before the huge increase. Also traded LOTS of 1/18 Scale Ferrari 328 GTS's by Anson. Now all these models fetch insaine amounts of money but it is going down till Christmas.
