You've all seen the reviews and photos... here's a few more!

in my opinion this feels sturdier than my older 360 Modena - solid wheels, despite the thin tire walls and oversized bling factor, the doors actually stay closed, and the engine looks a tad more detailed... and for a little over $20 USD, I'm pretty happy.

This stands proudly in my collection. The 430 was a reminder that my collection doesn't get better by only purchsasing expensive models.

Enjoy!

Not a bad model at all, especially at that price, Eddwin - good purchase!

Congrats on that one Eddwin. That looks well worth Hot Wheels prices. I would probably be happy with one in my cabinet if it wasn't for those daft wheels. If I had it I don't think I could look past them unfortunately.

I hope the Elite range are up to the mark when we get to see the finished thing. I love a few of those Ferraris but it seemed like sacrilege to have some of the budget Hot Wheels models of them. If the Elite range can just get nearer to AUTOart, Minichamps etc territory I would happily snap a couple up.
