_LamboNick_19, there are some differences on the headlights and at the back the four round lamps are the same but the 3rd brake light is sitting just above the prancing horse because the GTS does not have the same tailgate.
I can take some comparison pics later this week to show the differences of the cars.

 

[LAFerrari]

As promised, here are some comparison pics of the BBR and MR Collection Ferrari 812 Superfast and 812 GTS.



















Thanks for watching.

 

[samuelbdn]

The green colour and brown tone of the interior is a superb combo, very nice add this 812 GTS.

 

[TonyAZ83]

I have a custom MR/Atelier 812 GTS in Verde British due any month now, very similar to yours but with black wheels/brake calipers.

I wonder if Verde Abetone and Verde British are one and the same color or how they differ.

 

[_LamboNick_1990]

Thanks Morgan! You can see some differences, especially the wheels are pretty much different. I think BBR wins this ‘battle’

 

[vulpex]

Interesting comparison! Thanks for sharing!
Main difference seems to me that MR has wider panel gaps. Looking more like diecast than like resin. Can you confirm this impression or is it just an illusion of the photos maybe caused by the darker colour?

 

[LAFerrari]

LamboNick19, you might be on to something about the differencies between the 2 cars.
I think that the BBR is more refined in many ways, not that the MR is a bad model but the in the finer details the BBR is a winner.
vulpex, i agree that the panel gaps are bigger on the MR compared to the BBR model, altough i don´t have any tools to make a correct measurement of the gaps.

 

[Arnage]

Interesting to see this comparison. The BBR details are indeed sharper. And the paint seems very thick on the MR, probably too thick.

Thank you for the comments.
Next up is AutoArt Nissan Skyline 2000 GT R.The first Nissan Skyline was unveiled back in 1957 but it was not called Nissan, back then it was named Prince.Later that company was bought by Nissan in 1966.The Skylines are available either in sedan,coupe,stationwagon,crossover,convertible and pickup/sedan body styles.One of the trademarks of the Skyline is the twin round tail lights that was introduced in the 1970´s.Back then not so many have heard of the name Skyline it was not until the videogame"Gran Tourismo" was introduced that people outside Japan noticed Nissan Skyline.And it was probably the Nissan Skyline GT R R32 nicknamed"Godzilla" that made people aware of the car.When Nissan entered the R32 in 1992 as a test before competing in Group A Touring car championship in 1993.That car was built by a small company named HKS at least it was a small company back then.That particular car had an impressive run of 29 wins from 29 races.The engine in this car is an RB 26DETT a twin turbo straight six with 650 bhp.
The roadgoing version had 280 bhp,officially but real power figure is probably around 320 bhp.
But the one i am showing here is the Nissan Skyline 2000 GT R and it was introduced in February 1969 as a sedan.The coupe was debuted in october 1970 and introduced in march 1971 and it was called KPGC 10.
Time for pics.















In my opinion this is one of AUTOart´s best models.

Thanks for watching.

Great photos; Nisson was renamed from 'Datson'. Had several in the '70s.

 

[imprezawrxsti22b]

Fantastic collection Morgan, you make me wanna go out and splurge on BBRs and MRs!

 

[preisman]

I missed the comparison months ago. BBR really looks better. Hard to pinpoint the exact details, but seems more refined. The wheels look much better. The valve steams and lugs are more detailed. And I think the carbon looks better on BBR, but really, hard to say the MR does anything wrong.

I ordered the same green GTS. It was delivered not too long ago, but I still have not gotten a look at it. I will return home in December, and I will be sure to have a good look. So far, from your photos and a few others, it looks great and I am excited to have one.

 

[LAFerrari]

Thanks for your comments about the differences of the BBR and MR Collection Ferrari 812.

Time for the next car from my collection, LCD Models McLaren 600LT in white.
The 600LT was presented online in June 2018 and it is based on the 570S.
The 600LT is is the 3rd McLaren to receive the LT, Longtail, treatment inspired by the F1 GTR Longtail and the 675LT.
The body is extended by 73.7 cm ( 2.9") compared to the 570S the car also has enhanced aerodynamic elemnts such as the extended front splitter and and the rear diffuser.
Other changes are new side sills and a fixed rear wing for increased downforce, altough on the model the rear wing is not fixed it is movable.
McLaren claims that 23% of the parts on the 600LT are new compared to the 570S, the carbon fibre monocoque used in the 600LT is modified and this combined with the extensive use of carbon fibre in the roof section along with cantrails and the front fenders results in a weight saving of 96 kg (212 lb) over the 570S which gives a total weight of 1247 kg ( 2749 lb).
Other weight savings is the use of a titanium exhaust system.

On the inside you find the same bucket seats used in the McLaren P1 in alcantara trim with the option of the much lighter seats used in the McLaren Senna .

The engine is the same 3.8 liter twin turbo V8 now producing 592 bhp ( 441 kW) @ 7500 rpm and a maximum torque of 620 Nm ( 457 lb-ft) @ 5500 rpm.
The gearbox is a 7-speed Graziano dual clutch.

Performance:
0-100 km/h (0-62 mp/h) @ 2.9 sec.
0-200 km/h (0-124 mp/h) @ 8.2 sec.
Top speed:
328 km/h ( 204 mp/h).
Braking:
100-0 km/h (62-0 mp/h) @ 31 meters ( 102 ft).
200-0 km/h (124-0 mp/h) @ 117 meters ( 384 ft).

Time for some pics and i start with the real thing, altough these are most likely the MSO version of the car:







And the model:



























And some thoughts about the model.
I think that LCD Models has done a good job replicating the 600LT, but there is definitely room for improvements.
The biggest letdown is the ride height especially at the rear which makes the car look kind of strange compared to the real car.
It is probably an easy fix for the skilled modifiers around.
The interior of the car is a really good with a flocked dashboard and carpets both inside and under the frunk.
The door mechanism is way better than flimsy doors on the AUTOart 570S.
The carbon fibre is a bit rough compared to the old AUTOart tampo print but slightly better than the molded carbon fibre from AUTOart.
The wheels and brakes are good but the tires are really plasticy.
With that said it is not a bad model but i think that the AUTOart version looks better at least judging by the pics floating around.

Thanks for watching.

Time for the next car from my collection, FrontiArt Koenigsegg Gemera.
The Gemera was presented in 2020 at the cancelled Geneva Motor Show in an online broadcast.

The Koenigsegg Gemera is a plug-in hybrid grand tourer it is the first 4 seater car from Koenigsegg.
It is powered by a 2.0 liter twin turbo 3 cylinder engine dubbed TFG, Tiny Friendly Giant, producing 600 bhp ( 447 kW) @ 7500 rpm and a redline @ 8500 rpm and a maximum torque of 600 Nm ( 443 lb-ft) @ 2000-7000 rpm.
The combustion engine does not have any camshafts instead it is using the Koenigsegg Freevalve system which uses solenoids to operate the opening and closing of the intake and exhaust valves individually.
The engine also has a cylinder deactivation system with which it is claimed to be 20% more fuel efficient than a typical 4 cylinder engine with the same displacement.
According to Koenigsegg the engine only weighs 70Kg (150 lb-ft).

The car also has 3 electric motors one at each rear wheel producing 500 bhp ( 372 kW) and a maximum torque of 1000 Nm ( 737 lb-ft) and 1 at the crankshaft producing 400 bhp ( 298 bhp) and a maximum torque 500 Nm ( 368 lb-ft).
And since this is a Koenigsegg they have a rather unconventional way to drive the car because the the rear-mid mounted combustion engine is actually powering the front wheels together with 1 electric motor and the 2 remaining electric motors are powering the rear wheels.
The combined peak output is 1700 bhp ( 1268 kW) and a maximum torque of 3500 Nm ( 2581 lb-ft).
Max wheel torque is 11000 Nm (8113 lb-ft) @ ICE 4000 rpm.
1100 bhp ( 820 kW) of combined electric power (counting E-motors separately-1400 bhp ( 1043 kW).

The range of the 54 MJ (15 kWh) battery pack is claimed to be 50 km (31 miles) and in hybrid mode the range is 1000 km ( 621 miles).

The Gemeras transmission is a single speed Koenigsegg Direct Drive which is the same technology first used in the Regera.
The engine can run on E85 and on gasoline and it is also possible to run the engine on something called Vulcanol which is a synthetic fuel made of recycled carbon dioxide from a volcano in Iceland.
It is basically renewable methanol and the Octane rating is 109 RON compared to 95 RON for standard gasoline.
I was not able to create a link to more information about this technology but the company is called "Carbon Recycling International" if you want to know more about Vulcanol.
Koenigsegg Gemera is the companys first all wheel drive modeland it also have 4 wheel steering and torque vectoring.
It has a carbon fibre moncoque with aluminium sub structures.

Performance: 0-100 km/h (0-62 mp/h) @ 1.9 sec.
Top speed: 400 km/h ( 249 mp/h).
In eletric mode the top speed is 300 km/h ( 186 mp/h).

Production is planned to start in 2022 and the production run is set to 300 cars.

Time for some pics, and i don´t have any pics of the real car:



























And some personal thoughts of the model.
Since i have not seen the real car in person i cannot say how the model stacks up to the real thing but after seeing the pics and videos posted online i woulkd say that FrontiArt has done a really good job reproducing the car.
The paint job is smooth and as far as i know without any issues.
Wheels and tires are really good complete with tire markings and the brakes is also good.
The interior is really striking with all the details such as screens and steering wheel.

Thanks for watching.

Time for the next car from my collection, BBR Ferrari F8 Tributo in Blu Corsa.

The F8 Tributo was introduced at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show and it is replacing the 488 GTB/ 488 Pista.
The F8 is using the same 3.9 liter twin turbo V8 as used in the 488 Pista and is producing 710 bhp ( 530 kW) @ 7000 rpm and a maximum torque of 770 Nm ( 568 lb-ft) @ 3250 rpm.
It is using a 7-speed dual clutch gearbox.

Performance:
0-100 km/h (0-62 mp/h) @ 2.9 sec.
0-200 km/h (0-124 mp/h) @ 7.6 sec.
Top speed:
340 km/h ( 211 mp/h).

The front of the car is characterised by the S-duct which was originally featured at the 488 Pista which the entire front end of the car has been redesigned with additional air intakes above the headlights.
The front completed with side aerodynamic intakes integrated in the shape of the bumper.
The radiators pack has been tilted towards the rear using a flat undertray to channel the hot air the car also features quad rear lights which was last seen in the lineup fo V8 cars at the F430.
The engine cover is made of Lexan as an hommage to the F40 and a wraparound rear spoiler inspired by the 308 GTB.

Time for some pics and i start with the real car:

















And the model:



















And some personal thoughts about the model.
I think that BBR has once again has done a really good job at replicating the F8 Tributo.
The paint job is absolutely amazing the color looks really nice, especially in the sun.
The carbon fibre work is great and has a nice shiny finish.
Wheels and brakes are really good.
The interior seems to be good at least from what i can see since it is a sealed model and the interior is black.

Thanks for watching.

 

[_LamboNick_1990]

Looks great, Morgan!
Wheels are great, way better than if they would be in black!
Congrats!

You have a beautiful collection. Those group shots of the Koenigsegg's look stunning. Would love to have a few of them in my collection one day.

 

[vulpex]

Wow - that’s truly impressive!! 👏👏👏
And many thanks for taking up the challenge I spontaneously put on you, Morgan!
Not an easy task but you solved it elegantly by making use of the 3rd dimension - well done!👍
