Yes, I know, for some reason I could not find a good pic of the Italia.. I am glad that you said that, because most of the time I'm still looking at them on Ebay and wondering if should go for it or not...
Any good 458 Italia you would suggest? What do you know about the 1/43 HWE versions?
To be honest, the only opening 458 models are the Hot Wheels and HWE ones. The thing is, Red Ferrari models will always have a premium price over the others as once they are sold out, prices always go up and up.
You can either,
Hope to get a good deal on a Red one, but 99% of the time it won't be a perfect model.
Hope that another maker will announce one (doubtful, but the 458 is regarded as a good car, so it's possible)
See if you can find a deal on a resin one (they do not open) so for that you are looking at BBR and MR Collection models, but they are likely to be even more money.
Sorry. I don't know about 1/43 scale.
