One of my favorite Ferrari models the 250 Testa Rossa - It took a bit of courage to modify a model as expensive as this beautifully done model by CMC but it was worth it.

Yes Frank, that took guts!  Great looking "red head!"

@chris It is one of the most iconic of the 250 Ferrari front engine body styles. Perhaps second only to this one

I've always intended to replace my Burago with the CMC.  I should have bought the model when it was introduced.  But nooooooooOOOOOoooooooo!  I didn't pull the trigger and now the prices are quite significant!

@marty-johnson We all have ones that 'got away' For me it was the Daytona Coupe 'body buck' model.

@franklemire Would that model have completed your collection? I'm pretty sure you must have every chassis in every livery ever made by now.

@marty-johnson I only have the Bburago also. Purchasing was always a budgetary decision at the time and the CMC is another one that got away.

@rich-sufficool There are one or two livery configurations of the CSX 2300 car when it was raced in Japan that I don't have but indeed the 'body buck car is the only real 'gap in my collection - I even have a model of the roadster (CSX-2014) that the buck was built on.

Frank, when Norev released that European Fiat Ford-Cobra transporter truck you must have lost your mind!  It looks right at home, centered in your fabulous collection. Who knows, perhaps one day you'll see this one too. It's not as glamorous of course, but it has the word "Cobra"  on it! 😎

Outstanding Testa Ross Frank. Loved watching the original full sized one in action. It is my second most favourite Ferrari behind the 250 GTO. Glad to see them both here. Thank you.
