    I would like to acquire a 1:18 scale 275GTB die cast model. The price of a BBR offering is a bit steep for me, and I am not finding too many other options. I have found ERTL models online. What do you think of these? Are there any other higher quality 1:18 models of a 275GTB out there, or perhaps coming out soon?

    Thanks for your help.

    I *think* BBR and Ertl are it for the 275 GTB. I've got an Ertl, it's fine - nothing to write home about.

    In 1:18, I think the above is correct.

    I can look thru my collection this evening, and confirm.

    That's a big gap in detail, between those two!

    Yap, you have 2 options, BBR or ERTL.....the prices are a world apart, and so is the quality.
    The BBr is resin, does not open, but it's as perfext as you can get, The ertl it's a die-cast, with opening parts but rather crude model, not very accurate, not very detailed....you basicly get what you pay for...
