The Ferrari of this series are a must of course and on 1:24 scale. wonderful to see them together with other types of cars.

I well know also the rally series, taking several of them (too many honestly..). Also, Burago is indeed a dilemma. some models are stunning (shapes mostly, clearly done after company 3d files), very well taken, and sometimes also very well assembled. Just took here a stunning sp1 Monza, simply fantastic, as well as their Roma. Impossible miss theme, especially at 20 euros.

I don't think I under estimate theme, never. The proof is I'm buying a lot of theme. The value for money is simply amazing. In ordinary kit modeling for 20 euros you cant get a set of resin wheels.

Note there has been also a test series (I read was made for Spanish market only) where they tried with 60s sports car and prototypes. They made a stunning model of the ford gt40 mk.1 1075 that IMO is simply the best ever around in 24th. Just the wheels are as usual little bit toyish, but the overall look is seriously the nicest. Miles away from any fujimi or meng models, talking of shapes.
It really is amazing we could not get alot of the rally and F1 cars in kits but now they do them all as very good diecasts. By the way, that BBurago SP1 has the same direction directional wheels on both sides, so big mistake but the model is very nice overall. It looks like it should have a motor. Maybe some markets have a motor on the SP1 just like the Roma has a motor in some markets. Strange for them to do that. Anyway I keep buying the F1 and I hope they do a Lemans series. Yes that GT40 is very nice, again more accurate that the Fujimi kit in almost every way.
