Got these over the last two weeks ...
27. 1:18 1998 Ferrari 355 Challenge - Mattel
Model Rating: 9.5/10 - Plasticky rear deck lid. Ferrari of Houston sponsorship is nice. The wheels show evidence of wheel banging during the race. Simulated dirt -raced version. Front hood doesnt open
28. 1:18 2001 Ferrari 360 Challenge - Mattel
Model Rating: 9.0/10 - More solid than the F355 Challenge. Ferrari of Houston sponsorship is nice. Simulated dirt - raced version. But the dirt seems a little
unrealistic to me. Nice overall
The two together ...
Love the boxes with the simulated corners - like the F12001 box (I think)
29. 1:18 1988 Ferrari 328 GTB - Kyosho
Model Rating: 10/10 - Excellent detailing. The photo-etched engine is awesome are the pop-up lights ... Very cool and I got it for a reasonable price too - I am over the moon
30. 1:18 1955 Mercedes Benz SLR - Stirling Moss/Denis Jenkinson - Mille Miglia - Maisto
Model Rating: 9.5/10 - A very special car to me. Accurately rendered. I love the details - the steering tube that splits the pedals the removable headrest/aero piece, the canted over straight eight engine, the lights the stickers. This was the first car to record a near 100mph average over the entire race. The fastest ever.
I think someone else here has the Rudolph Ulhenhault's 300 SLR coupe 1:18. This would be a good companion piece to that.
31. 1:18 Shelby Cobra 427 - Road Signature
Model Rating: 9/10 - My first and probably only American car .. unless I get a Duesenberg. Nice model with decent interior - the engine could be better detailed though
32. 1:18 1993 Mclaren F1 - Maisto
Model Rating: 8/10 - Not as good as I thought. Go for the UT version if you can afford it. Interior OK, Exterior is very ordinary. Disappointed..
