I received my SF23 a couple days ago. The Las Vegas gp version. Stunning car & impressed with details. Could be better with more open aero parts and cut outs but overall very good.
I want the BBR 499P but the only ones I have seen available are really expensive. So I just got the Looksmart one and working on the video for that one...needed a repair ; ) . Not sure why the BBR is so high priced but seems to be in a special box or something. So maybe a "regular" release version will be made.
Not sure when BBR will make it but they will. Bburago has theirs (as well as Miami 2024), I suspect Look Smart will beat BBR but I am waiting and will probably grab who ever makes one first.
Question: Does Mini Champs make BBR? I was under the impression that BBR was related to LookSmart of whom was made by Spark. Am I right or wrong or completely misinformed. I have a LookSmart Ferrari SF1000 review coming up. Great model but not overwhelming as I was hoping for. Perhaps it was the livery that was not particularly exciting like other teams. Like you, I believe that BBR and LookSmart should be outstanding in every regard and, they almost are.
I am not 100% sure but I am sure at some level they are all the same. What I understood was Looksmart and Spark are partners and BBR and Minichamps have a relationship for the distribution of the Ferrari F1. I do not think Minichamps and BBR collaborate on anything else. I think it is a work around for Minichamps on the Ferrari License. What I also remember hearing was BBR and MR are related in that each company is headed by a brother. Something to the effect that they had a disagreement as BBR so one of the brothers split off and created MR. BBR for a long time was mostly Ferrari while MR was mostly Lambo. That has evolved and they make both. I do not collect those models much any more so I am less in tune to what is going on in high end resin.
@@mycarcave6214 so interesting. I've only had one dealer that shares that sort of information, Toronto Motorsports, and even they say the entire business is somewhat secretive. particularly when it comes to the number of models built. They have told me that distributors reach out with models being produced, and place orders of which meet or exceed the numbers of models built. Apparently, they make far more Formula One models than sports cars because of the short run of F1 models before they are changed every 3 months or shorter. Thanks for the information.

Nice. I plan to buy the Vegas version as well either from Look Smart or BBR. Look forward to that livery.
@ I recommend the bbr version. I personally have that one & prefer the qualitys and proportions of bbr.
Ferrari really nailed it with the subtle livery updates in 2023. Will you be getting the BBR 499P?
