Hello all,
Here is my latest arrival - the 1:18 BBR Ferrari F430 in beautiful Rossa Corsa. I bought it about a month ago and after a nervous wait it has finally arrived (and in one piece, which is always a bonus). The F430 is my favourite Ferrari and BBR have captured it beautifully with this model. The overall detail is great and I'm especially happy with the interior. This model is not, however, without its faults...
It suffers from the front ride height problems most BBR F430s do (although not quite to the extent I've seen on some) and a slightly larger than desirable gap below the passenger door. Finishing/paint around the side mirrors could be improved. The bonnet is also slightly off centre, creating a larger gap on one side than the other. Most annoying of all, upon removal from the box the bonnet wouldn't latch shut. It kept popping back open until I took to the latching mechanism with a pair of pliers. It's still not perfect, but at least the bonnet closes now!
Anyway, on to the important part - the pics!

Enjoy!
