@@RoughdiamondRacer thanks! Ferrari s were top on my list for collecting back in the day. Had I known they would stop making them I would’ve bought a lot more!
Nice collection but having been into Ferrari models some 40yrs, I'm afraid HWs actually took some of the "magic" away from Ferrari as cars. I have often maintained that Bburago made nicer models, despite not often in 64th scale. The late 80s Matchbox models give a better representation of both the F40 & Testarossa too. I'm lucky enough to have swapped some cars recently for a 2nd release silver version of the RaceBait 308 on blackwalls & it's probably my most treasured Ferrari by HWs. Unfortunately Mattel have made a few of the 64scale Ferraris with larger diameter rear wheels, their F40 is a truly appalling model, as is their original F355 (criminal creation!) & as for their 1/18 models? Dear lord, I had two & both were awful, using cheap brittle diecast (I would even say contaminated) of the type that Italian diecast makers Polistil used to use in the 1970s. I know they are pricey, but the newer Bburago 1/43 Ferraris are nice looking efforts, though I only like Ferraris before the Enzo model.....
Love those classic Ferraris
Nice!
All those red Ferraris! Thats a treasure! Fast group too. Thanks for sharing.
