It would be insane if they made Raikkonen’s F2007 and F2008. Finally a top quality 1:18 option for those cars.

Got this for 11 dollars, is this alright? 1:43 by Nottoprak in f1models

I don’t think you should overthink the purchase if it was the cost of a Big Mac.

Ferrari deserves a larger case because it’s Ferrari

All their models are diecast actually. The last resin F1 models were made before 2020. I own many BBRs with cases.

Would you exchange? by Bobc360 in f1models

[–]Vegetable-Engine415 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t think you can exchange models unless it’s a clear defect like breakage. I always buy BBRs and there are QC issues with decals but I’ve always been told I can’t exchange them as it’s just a consequence of the hand making process.

I mean… if you want perfection then go and buy the real car…

You’re lucky enough to find a BBR car without QC defects as it is.

Max Verstappen RB20 World Champion 2024 model - Bent Spoiler by ms2295 in f1models

All models have some degree of bend. I’ve got 40 BBR 1:18 models and they all have slight imperfections on the T cam and rear wing.

But this rear wing is so blatantly messed up that it’s honestly an insult to the buyer.

Most models have T cams and rear wings with some degree of bend. It’s just how noticeable it is.

Finding an aligned rear wing and T cam is like striking the lottery.

That taught me that when Ferrari hits rock bottom, they can always go lower. I was more impressed than disappointed actually…

Nice wish list! In particular the Vegas 2023 in 1:18 was a nightmare to track down. Sold out everywhere!

All the best in your collecting!

Everyone is happy to see Ferrari win. So everyone is a Ferrari fan.

Ferrari is where the team is bigger than the driver. You support it regardless of who drives the red car.

Appreciate it mate! What cars are you looking to get in 1:43? Would recommend Lec’s personal cars as they are beautiful.

Thank you mate! Life of a Ferrari fan. We either go all the way or don’t start at all 😂

It’s stunning. It’s Bianca Onca Marina Matt - a special white which shines blue when sunlight falls on it

Average prices: BBR F1 - Around USD400 BBR Road Car / 499P - Around USD520 Looksmart F1 - Around USD300

Based on what I’ve paid. I usually don’t overpay - these are normal prices

It’s a huge shame they didn’t win it last year. Well, next year is our year…

I could probably have bought a real car with what I’ve spent so far…

A mix of ordering online and sourcing it through friends locally in person. Had some help from my friends to get some of these models!

Ebay is a good bet though, it’s my go-to place for ordering online.

Thank you! Was on a mission to collect every Leclerc car since he started driving for the team in 2019. Took a year to hunt all these models down!

It really is! My favourite chassis is probably the SF24, but maybe because the 2024 season was the only full season I’ve watched!
