    Apparently BBR will start producing die-cast 1:18 cars after 16years when they did the F430 and the enzo's. They're gonna attempt to start with Ferrari's F16-H F1 cars. I may be interested! Anyone have any thoughts on this?

    That´s great news, and acording to carmodel, they will be a lot cheaper, as they have them anounced for 199€!! basicly it's half the price they were asking for the f.1s!!
    Now, if they start doing the other models in die-cast but with open parts, and for this price!!!

    Are these to be composite models like some of the new AutoArt stuff?

    To me die-cast makes little sense for an F1 car, unless body parts can be taken off to show the engine and so on.

    For me, I'll be focusing on the small overall details, example "true-like" appearance, photo-etch on the wings, sharpness on the body panel lines, paint quality, cockpit details and not much concerns with removal of covers to be a worthily model.

    Just ordered Kimi Raikkonen's car for Australia. Once they release Vettel's car for Italy I'll secure this one as well.
