why do people collect only BBR models , or only AMR / Le Phoenix ?
I am collecting for more than 20 years handbuilt Ferraris in 1/43
not a fan from chinese models , but there are some cars they are just must haves like a SP12EC
after Ferrari put the price for license into the air , we have very less actual builders .
do collectors still know builders like ABC , DALLARI , HECO , HILARIO , HOSTARO , MG , MOG , TRON ?
here is a part of my collection
top shelve , left to right

Christian,
A super collection you have there!
I think collectors prefer BBR models, specially because of there good quality.
My personal 1/43 collection consist of Ferrari and Porsche, mostly of self built models from AMR, BAM, BBR, LePhoenix, Horbra, Starter, P.Moulage, Marsh and a few others. All the above are Sports and racing models.

Hey Christian !
if you ask me, why People are focusing mainly on BBR, One Thing i would think is that they have a extremely big Range of Cars. In My Opinion they have produced nearly every Ferrari that People are searching for, like 250 GTO, 250 swb, and of course all the F1 and GT modelcars. And of course all the Special and Limited Editions.
When it comes to my Collection, i have a lot of different Companies, like Bosica, Record, AMR, Styling Models, Le Phoenix, Danhausen, starter, Provence Moulage, Arena, BBR, Tameo, SMTS and a few others
Best Regards ! Erik |

I do still not understand why they never did a 512M. As far as I remember only Hostaro did, and Feeling43.
I am delighted to see that MR will do the 512S in 1/18. |

hello Erik
when I began to collect in 1992 there where no GTO , SWB and so on
the only newer cars where Testarossa , F40 , 288 GTO and 348 series
all others where from the 50 ies
except some cars like the 312PB , 400 SA and 365 California , these are the cars Alberto likes most
no wonder that this cars are the first to come in 1 : 18 |

| People focus on BBR and AMR because they are the most famous companies in resin and white metal handbuilts and the brands have a very good reputation. Hence their models keep their value and thats what makes the difference. |

| I would like to see BBR doing a more variety of models maybe 50's and 60's F1, Make up is doing a great job there models are superb, last year a got a Make up Porsche 911RS(from Miniwerks of course) and I felt in love, I think I love it so much that all my Ferraris put together, check out Make up models even do they are not doing Ferraris anymore they Porsches are great! |

| BBR, Tecnomodel, MR-Looksmart, Make up models are of similar quality and similar prices. A lot of other models(ABC, MG, Tron, MOG etc.) have poor quality, some models are incorrect. |

poor quality :
as sample ABC : there are a lot of not so good models , but they have also some fantastic models like the black 212 export estate
incorrect models:
there is no builder without mistakes , including BBR and AMR |

I have two MG models and the quality is very good, so I guess it depends on the model, not all of them are bad.
Thanks! |

I own a lot of older ABC , TRON and MG models
and most of them are fantastic
these models are hard to find because the production was not so high and not so easy to buy than a BBR in the times before we had web
