There is belief about that BoS and KK are connected to German online retailer 'ModelcarWorld'. KK average usually €60 - €70, BoS are normally €99. They can often be found on other retailers sites, but at higher prices.

They are bringing an E21 318i out which has steering too but its been delayed due to quality problems with their producer according to their website.I think it's a kind of modelissimo/CK own brand.

Cristoph Krombach, CEO of CK Modelcars seems to be behind these 2 brands

I assumed that since most BoS models are more expensive on CK and Modelissimo than they are on ModelCarWorld that they were the originators of the brand.

I quite like the Hebmullers too, and they are slightly cheaper than the Minichamps ones (which are on sale right now)

The E21 on their website doesn't look bad, we'd need to see the final product though.

They do look awesome! Not far off the grossly overpriced minichamps ones. I'm liking the red more than blue one, i may have to pull the trigger on one soon.

Yep, they're about half the price of the Minichamps ones, and they're half again of what the AUTOart ones go for now.

Look fair value. Sealed resin I assume?

Sealed diecast. . .

Has anyone seen this model?

Great looking car and from the photos a nice looking model, but anyone got any first hand experiences?

Funny you should post this, I was thinking of asking the same question. I do like the look of them, and I don't think it's been made in 1:18 before either which gives nothing to compare it to. From the webshop pics it looks pretty good for the money, but like you say it's better to get a first hand opinion from someone who owns one. Of the 2 colours I'm leaning towards the pale metallic blue, but red can't be ignored on a Ferrari.

And where does it leave the whole Burago deal? When you consider that the image copyright on any car expires after 25 years, does this not mean that Hot Wheels can run another batch of (at least some) their excellent subjects - if they represent a car more than 25 years old? Perhaps without the Ferrari name or logo on the box. Enthusiasts will know very well which brand of car is being offered.....
