    I just picked up my first model in nearly two years, Bburago 488 GTB. Stay tuned for one of my reviews.

    Congrats, I have the grey signature 488 and it's a very impressive model.

    Does anybody know if the 1:18 Bburago 488 and LaFerrari are scaled correctly? I recall that the California T was 1:19

    Good question. I have a 458 sitting next to the LaFerrari, and the 458 looks bigger. I know the 458 and 488 are the same size. All Bburagos.

    Like ironsim says, I too have my signature 488 next to my HWE 458 spider and it looks like it is the same scale as the old 458. I never knew the Cali was underscaled though, glad I'm selling mine on ebay now!

    Same^ I read it somewhere on the forum and then put it next to my HWE 355 and it looked way smaller. I think it's smaller than the Bburago 8C too.

    Mine was free. I had Windows 8 and it was totally worth upgrading especially now that the stupid start menu is much civilized.

    Its AWESOME. The UI is 10x better. Best start menu. And Cortana actually works ! It understands my indian accent which is damn great. Siri takes a while to understand.

    That's strange. My computer screen shut off to rest (not in sleep mode) so I tried to wake it up but it didn't. Works fine now.

    So I took my HWE 355 Berlinetta out of the box and my finger just touched the drivers side mirror and it fell off! CRAP!

    Hate it when that happens - I know just how you feel FM55!
    It should stick back OK though as there's a good surface area methinks...

    The mirrors are diecast metal as well isn't it? IIRC the peg is squarish so you dont have to worry about the alignment. Just a dab of superglue and a relatively steady hand will settle the problem. :)

    Well, just received an email from AUTOart asking them if they would reproduce the street version of the LFA. They have no plans to re release it in the future :(

    Get the Nur edition before it's sold out. I still see them for less than $200. And hopefully one day you'll find a street version reasonably priced.

    When you work 6+ hours on a project due the next day only to find out the teacher/instructor isn't checking it.

    I love it when the teacher doesn't check your work, I usually write down random nonsense for shits and giggles.

    This is just a rumor but Maisto and Bburago might have purchased some Kyosho Ferrari molds. Hope that's true.

    If the rumour is true hooray! Kyosho made so many great Ferraris in the past.

    The 488 GTB is really growing on me now. I still think the 458 looked more elegant. Still would like a diecast of it.

    I'll say this: In my opinion, the 458 Italia is hands-down the best looking mid-engine V8 Ferrari since the 355, and that was the best looking one since the original 308. Like you, I didn't care for the 488 at first because it betrayed the simplicity of those cars in my opinion. However, the more I look at it, the more I like it, and I dig the twin-turbo setup. So yes, I want the model now, too!

    488 looks more plain than 458, has GTA car feel to it.

    I think people are confusing bburago with a 'high end' manufacturer.

    Just bring your favorite diecast with you. That's what I do when ever I go on vacation. Plus you could do a photo shoot with the car with the ocean sunset as a backdrop? Sounds like a grand idea to me
