I really don't like the 512 M, the mix is just ugly...
I can't speak that good English, so I'll try to explain what I alo like on the 512TR: on the door you see those stripes, that's beautiful, and that keeps going to the back of the car, that makes it a little fatter, but it's really good!!!
And my favorite is the Maranello (GTS) and the F40...

I'd go with silver, but that's me.

Welcome to the board, Vortigaunt! I'll see you around...

if i were you

I admit that silver is one of the most flattering colors for the 355, but i would go with ferrari-red, i say that only because every single ferrari in my collection is ferrari red. but dare to be different, go with silver.

Ferrari Red

Maybe it's too late, and I admit that silver is nice, but like snowboarder, all of my Ferraris are Ferrari red. I like to be consistent and keep with the official team racing colours.

But then again, that's just me....

In what scale? 1/18? Most pre-assembled die-cast cars are 1/18, but some are 1/24, and a lot of new ones are 1/43, pretty little.

I collect cars in 1/24 scale, but mine are kits I build myself.

Yeah. I'd like to think I'm past the stage were I have to worry about the glue. Making the paint smooth and polished is what I'm working on now.

If I ever figure out how to take decent pictures of my models, I'll post them on AF within a heartbeat.
