    For the price, and large quantities that BBR produce, they should get things right, and yet they still make mistakes, and cut corners on quality. Maybe if fewer dealers and collectors bought these flawed models..... then BBR would take notice, and try to do better.

    I have the p2 in naranello concessionaires colours and lie it a lot..interior is a bit crude but otherwise i think it looks nice.....by the way, CMR anounced the 275 gtb both in LM racing livery and street version....but it doesn't tempt me...i know BBr it's 3 times (and a bit) more expensive..but i think it's worth it.

    The CMR Ferrari 275 GTB model is flawed; body shape is not so good, etc.

    The more you look at the CMR 275 GTB the worse it looks. I would have bought the BBR if I wanted one. Hoping someone will do the 1965 Le Mans GT Class Winner.

    The lancia d20 from Tecnomodel is out and looks very nice, several race winners, Panamericana, targa florio and Mille Miglia...

    Looksmart as released the 488 gt from lm 2016..the af corse version and the Risi version...both look great and come with a display box as usual per Looksmart..they look very similar to the BBr version..but they cost 100€ less and the display is free!! I wan't one, just no sure if the AF corse or teh RIsi...or igf i wait for the AF corse 2017..it has more red..but since neither won the race..

    I hope they will do the Filipinetti version as well (with the lightblue wheels). I always liked that livery.

    I agree. The Monza version without all the sponsor decals would be even better.

    I also like the Piper car, with the porto sandman sponsorship...all in red.....and the nº12 nart, 3ºrd at Lm...but my favourite is definitly the sunoco car, with the nº6 and the big blue spoiler in the back!

    If you fancy the Risi version you had best find one quickly. They are sold out almost everywhere except for a few places in Europe charging a lot more than list for them. Like $495 instead of $295. I waited too long and almost missed out but found a bargain on one a few days ago and it is on the way to me. I actually want an IMSA version but the LM is "close enough". The place I bought it from had one more as of a couple of days ago if anyone is interested.

    Has anyone seen the Looksmart 158 F1 in red? I've seen the white/blue version on Ebay a while ago but no longer. I'd think the red one would be all over the place right now?
