Reviewing the 1/18 Ferrari F40 by Bburago

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

According to legend, Bburago's F40 remains the most sold 1/18 car in the world to this day, since 1987. While the level of detail impressed most people back in 1987, we've come a long way since then and both Hot Wheels and Kyosho have surpassed this model in terms of detail (and price).
However, if you treat this old Made in Italy Bburago like a Tamiya model and paint all the extra details yourself, like i will show you in the video, you can make the model look so much better and just as good as the brief "original series" repainted release from 2017 that quickly sold out and costed almost 80 euros.
Pros:
- opening front clamshell (unlike Tonka Polistil)
- plastic straps holding the front and rear clamshells in place
- engine detail
- perforated grilles
Cons:
- no suspension
- no popup headlights (Tonka Polistil has them)
- interior panel underspray
- no brake discs or calipers
- ferrari logo on steering wheel often mounted sideways or upside down

    The Bburago model of the F40 is a really good looking model to have on your mantle piece, and for the price it is a very good reproduction, that even the most avid collector couldn't turn their nose up at the detail. No wonder it is a best seller, who didn't as a child want to own a F40 even if it's just a model. :)

    Thank you so much for this video. I am a Japanese watching from Japan. I think this red one was the model, which was my first Bburago bought in the train station of Rome in 1992. Didn't know this was such a popular diecast model. I was just travelling with my friends in North Africa and Europe from Japan.

    thank you very much! the best place to get such an f40 is from e bay, just keep looking until you find one in good condition and a good price, they always keep showing up there and sometimes are in bad condition so just keep browsing the product listings until you get a good deal.

    Hello there ! Recently I bought the reproduced ` original series ` bburago F40, and I can say, if u don't want to buy a made in Italy one, it is basically the same casting, with better details on everything, except for the front interior ( belt, tubes , etc are still plain red plastic.) Also they feel better compared to the Italy one that my cousin has. I'd say, if you can get one for a good price, go ahead ! I got mine for 40$ and it was a steal, really !

    absolutely! it saves you a lot of hassle like painting all the extra details yourself. sadly when I was on the lookout for mine a year ago, I could only ever find them for 80 dollars so i got this one instead

    thank you! i dont own any tonkas IRL but I have heard they're actually slightly bigger than 1/18, more like 1/17, plus if you look at the pics of the tonka in my video I personally feel it looks a little "elongated", like the shape is a little off. Also the engine of the bburago seems to be more detailed. So if there is no price difference I would go for the bburago, and when it comes to these old models condition is also very important.

    @@ImperialDiecast Thanks a lot for the explanation. Well price wise, I found Tonka cheaper than Bburago. I couldn't judge the longish size that you mention, but I felt the Bburago ones have slightly better details and finishing. Let me dig a bit more and see if the Tonka makes a better display piece or the Bburago.

    I just thought of something do the upgrades that you make on your models you know to make them look better do they enhance the value of the model or does it decrease the value of the model ? Because I had carpets to some of my models which there are 1/18 scales models that I collect.

    considering these are bburagos that (at least in europe) retail for 30-45 euro new in box, i would say custom work increases their value by a bit rather than further decreasing, because they do look better and there's not many people who put this sort of work into them so that others are forced to buy the KK scale or GT spirit if they want a similar look (but lose the opening features in the process) while the kyosho and hot wheels elite are impossibly hard to find.
