Hello, I have the feeling that BBR is focussing on 1/18 models now.
I hope they will deliver the 458 speciale 1/43 in silver or similar colors but i don't see them arrived :-(

The only interesting bbr's are the classic series.

Recently got the 250MM its beautifull!

The modern cars like the 458's are heavily overpriced when you buy them new.. Quality is not that good, models need no skill to assemble.

From a business point of view I completely understand the way they work nowadays, as a collector its a bad thing.

no difference.
do not forget that BBR produces kits and not die-cast.
BBR Concept are assembled in China and not in Italy, this is the difference.
sorry for my bad english...

classic models are not made in china, they have more parts and need better skills (modern cars have rubberprint windows, they are hard to mess up..) glueing a window with PE parts is much more difficult to make.

The numbers of the china-made models are much higher.

Thanks to both. Itīs true that even all bbr models are resin kits, classic series looks better and they donīt loose value as soon as the modern ones, maybe because of the smaller series too.

In the past BBR made also metal kit (Ferrari 512S, Ferrari 333SP...)
BBR Classic series looks better also because classic Ferrari cars looks better ;-)
