Just about to buy this gorgeous satin red 60th anniversary Hot Wheels Elite Ferrari Mondial B. Got it for a decent £35 including postage posted off a guy who regularly sells on one of the diecast Facebook groups I'm part of. What dyu guys think?

Great price! Model is well replicated for sure. I'm personally not a huge fan of satin red.

Re: Post Your Latest DIECAST Purchase
I wouldn't get it. Apart from that ghastly 4-door Ferrari (410 I think?), this is probably the ugliest one. The colour is also quite bad. Don't do it.

Its really not that bad. Just posted some pics:

Lol no, it's an awful looking car.
Re: Post Your Latest DIECAST Purchase
I have it, and I fully agree with Stratos' comments...it's a stunner! The engine/suspension detail is sublime.Puma Cat wrote:My newest acquisition is on it's way...a 1:18 GMP Ferrari 330 P4!
Should have it early next week; will post photos when it arrives.
A wee warning. The front bodywork can be a pain to fit...on mine it is extremely tight, so much so I feared breaking something such was the force I had to use to fit it! Apparently this is not uncommon on these models.

Agree. It's half-sliding, half-clicking into position. Also, I haven't been able to open the fuel filler caps despite my best efforts. The windshield wiper is incredibly fragile, so try not to damage it. Also, the engine cover can be easily lifted off, so don't open it too far, as you'll bend the hinges like I did on one of mine.Philip wrote:I have it, and I fully agree with Stratos' comments...it's a stunner!

Latest arrival today is the Audi RS6 Avant from Otto. The paint job on this is really nice and deep and mine seems to have passed through QC with flying colours, which makes a change! My only gripe is the slightly wonky exhaust tips and the 'panel gap' on the front and rear bumpers where it joins the rest of the car.
Enjoy the pics....

Congrats on an (un?)godly purchase! The Agera and Aventador J are high on my list. Love how you got them all in (nearly?) matching red.
My latest:
Probably going for the silver Agera. Might not get the Aventador, since only Paganis and Koenigseggs are must-buys for me.

the Huayra's shade of red is a bit different than the other 2.. indoor lighting shows more of lighter tone of red but on the outside with natural light for me it's the best red car that I have.
Nice color on the huayra i was deciding on that color or the red when I preordered mine.. that color also looks awesome!
