CONGRATS!! 'Keeper' is an understatement - she is Knock-Out Gorgeous! I had it for the review and had to return it. Also had their '56 in Arctic Blue. Another incredible beauty. Still have the yellow '57 Street Rod.
@perrone1 - Here's a few more "keepers,"... I think!
I say "I think" because, due to space constraints, I'm unsure how to display them. Perhaps I should adopt a rotational approach. Perhaps it's time to make more room by moving my older "lesser" models that aren't important to me. I've got some thinkin' to do!
The Fiat Baroletti is the CMR (not CMC) version. I also picked up the Ferrari version, but since I already have the CMC model, there's no need to keep both. The Ferrari iteration is being sold on eBay. The Shelby Cobra is a Kyosho in 1:12 scale.
My wife actually likes the 1:8 scale Pocher Lamborghini Aventador. So do I. But it is sooooooooo big!
Man-0-man, this is such a great score - I think I'd be too greedy to let anything go - but one must be pragmatic! It won't be easy, but you MUST make some difficult decisions.
GOOD LUCK ...and remember:
"When you have to make a choice but don't make it, that is in itself a choice."

What a nice 'problem' to have Marty! Really, I understand. Something to be said for each of your queries. I'd probably sell off what no longer interests me; knowing full well, that even THAT choice may come back to haunt you. But, yeah, these three are fantastic. I wanted that Kyosho Cobra but couldn't get my hand out of my pocket. I still do have a couple Kyosho Cobra's in 1/18th so I won't commit sausage just yet. The Mazer transport is to-die-for and the Lambo in 1/8th is for real - sure; ANY Pocher is!!
You're right, Tony, those car carriers take up a lot of room. One's sitting in a display case on my dining room table, much to my wife's chagrin. For this Fiat 642, I decided to just go 1/43 and top it off with a wee little 'Bird Cage'. It's still has a lot of detail.

Yeah, I'm going to follow your lead and display it with my "Birdcage." That's the only Maserati model I have. Would it be model blasphemy if I put on a couple of other non-Masser models?
@marty-johnson Marty, I can see why you are out of space with these beautiful large scale models. Maybe you need to consult a contractor to see about an addition to your house.

Ha! Yup, that WOULD be nice! All I can say about that is "C'mon Lotto!!!"
