Default Wich F50?

Today as you can see in my own topic I bought a new 1/18 for my collection and I'm already wondering about the next one... before buying another 1/18 I think I will pick up a couple of 1/43, but still, the question is: wich F50 should I buy? They had an old Maisto one, and also an Hotwheels one if my memory serves me right, I just know the Maisto seemed a bit worse than the other... (could have been a Bburago, but I'm almost sure it was Hotwheels..)...

both are average quality in my opinion, and I wouldn't buy neither of them if there would be a better choice like Autoart, Minichamps or Kyosho... but well, I want an F50

Oh, they also had a nice Kyosho 1:12 Vanquish.. superb

they have both F50s at "my" shop by Maisto and hotwheels. I think hotwheels looks better - maisto has too big gearstick..... the hotwheels has better finishing

LOL if it was that easy i would go buy it right now,but £300 is a lot of money for a model,yes its kyosho and yes its a ferrari but man i crippled and was injured in the funds department when i paid for my supra model and that was probably only half the price of that ferrari
