Most definitely one to add to my collection, some day. It's one of those models which looks great in any colour.

Picked this up in yellow a couple of months ago and the Competizione in red last week (which I'm actually exchanging for another unit tomorrow cause there's severe paint rash on the hood - first time I see it on a CMC)

love the lines on this 250GT.

The CMC is out of my price range, so I went with the Hot Wheels Elite. It isn't bad, but not as good as their 250GT Califorinia.

still one of my favorite models. Recently sold my black one, but I'll never get rid of my red #19 car...easily my favorite Ferrari model.

I'm sorry this one is ugly for the most part, but fascinating at the same time. Rare piece too. What's the history behind her?

Oh I love the Breadvan. This was gonna be one of my resin exceptions but nope, I stayed on the bright side.

a very cool distinct variation of the 250GTO...like the difference in the nose versus the "normal" 250GTO.

That HWF does look pretty decent. One thing I thought was strange about the Elite was the different size tires (larger in back). The HWF doesn't have that. Which is more correct? I think I like the way the HWF looks.

On the real car the wheels/tires are the same all the way around. The proper size for the model would be somewhere between the Elite and the regular version.
Thanks for the confirmation...that's exactly what I was thinking. The HWF look a touch small, while the Elites go the other way.
