    Any scale other than 1/1, diecast, handbuilt, or kit?

    For me it's a Twin Crono 1/18 of any Ferrari. I have lots of the 1/43 but I can never find a 1/18 from this company.

    Breadvan is a rather ignored Ferrari model.

    Rosso Model has done a 1:18 model issue but is expensive and not very accurate looking in pictures.

    MG Model + did a resin 1:24 but it's rough as heck.

    Does anyone know anything about this transkit?

    E39 5 series was never made in 1/18. Autoart promises one soon though.
    R&D unique breadvan is not very accurate, but it can be made into a good looking model with some work.

    It is worse than MG models body in my opinion. Sides are too tall, doors are on wrong place and wrong shape. I think it is modified from Italeri/Testors/Revell GTO kit, without too much effort put in getting the correct shape. There is a nice buildup of it in www.netbaer.net
    though.

    The model i want most is Climax Ferrari 250LM. They are way out oof my price range when they appear on ebay. Luckily MFH is making a reissue of this kit later this year.

    You could buy a red one and either A) paint the interior black, or B) buy a yellow one and swap the interiors.

    As for a white Z06 , no one has ever made one in 1/18.

    Yeah, I could buy a yellow one and switch the interior. But whenever I try and do stuff like that then somthing always breaks. lol. I tried turning my Guldstrand Z06 into a convertable once, and I had all the screws out that needed to be out, and when I took the top off, it broke... Snapped in half. But if you didnt know Cars, like most of the people that come in my room, you cant even notice ;).

    I only need a Quick Silver Z06 and a White One, if they ever make it. And I'll have all the colors.

    I'm on the look out for the 1:8 Ferrari 643 from Rosso Models. In the early nineties, they introduced two 1:43 models, a 642 and a 643 (I have the 643) and this 1:8 version of the 643. Then they vanished from the face of the earth.

    The frustrating part is that the modelshop in my howntown, actually has one for over 12 years. Problem is, they won't sell. I believe it is owned by someone who used to work for the store (but doesn't anymore).

    It's a beautiful model and I want it to go next to my 1:8 yellow F40.
