Default Ferrari 599 diecast model - 01-29-2007 , 06:34 PM






Hi everyone,

I am just wondering which diecast maker manufactures the best looking
599 on the market right now. I did a quick froogle search and most of
them are pointing to the one from hot wheels.

Thank you

Right now, I think that's the only one. Unless you want to build your
own. Both Fujimi and Revell of Germany are coming out with 1/24 plastic
kits of the car.

Actually, Hot Wheels is who Ferrari hired to do licensing. There are
other companies that do Ferrari models, it's just really, really
difficult to get licensed.

In addition to Hot Wheels, companies like BBR, Gasoline, Tamiya, Model
Fatory Hiro, Studio 27, GMP, and AutoArt all do Ferrari models in kit or
built (or both) form.

I don't usually do die-cast, but I HAD to have one of these:

Make sure you watch the video. It's as cool in real life, I have it
nicely displayed in my office. :-) Just noticed that they're also doing
a 250TR. Figured they would, to maximize the cost of the casting. I'm
also expecting a SWB or other 250GT versions. Now if they did a 375...
I'd have to have one. :-)

Oh, I've been around, lurking. :-) Life is just starting to settle back
down. We've added on two rooms to the house in the last two years, new
laminate floors in three rooms, kitchen remodel, and of course work has
had lots of ups and downs, business travel. You know, typical "in the
life of" stuff.

Still have lots to do, finish the kitchen, new carpet in the rest of the
house, painting, and since the rest of the house has been updated my
wife's decided we have to redo both bathrooms. I agree, but I'm just
getting so tired of it... will be happy when it's done.

Still drive the 'stang, though am thinking about trading into either an
Infinti G35 coupe or a Cadillac CTS. I was seriously considering one of
the Shelby GT500's, but the dealers were raping people so bad (like

Yeah, this guy is phenomenal. He's currently working on a P4 and a GTO,
along with another 312.

I know the feeling. I'm sick of our new house and we haven't even
moved in yet. I am SO looking forward to when it's all finished and I
can stop thinking about paint colours and fixtures and window
treatments...
