The Replicars site lists a 1:18 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO from BBR (their #BBR1807).
Is this the same model Kyosho sells? Are Kyosho and BBR associated?

Completely different model.

The BBR is sealed resin.

Thanks, Gavin, I didn't look closely.
$500 for 1:18 resin doesn't work for me!

The Kyosho is one of my favorite models....definitely worth picking up, if you don't have one.

just this year, I believe. Honestly, I really prefer the looks of Kyosho's. They seem to have gotten the lines right. There's something about the BBR that looks like a better version of the old Bburagos.

As a resin proponent there are advantages
NONE of the sealed resin models in my collection have developed any paint rash or metal failures, I wish could say that about the Exoto.Kyosho,CMC,etc models I have ,which are all displayed in a stable temperature and humidity controlled environment. Spark, BBR and others have released highly desireable historic icons that would never be done in Zamac due to tooling costs and lack of mass market appeal. I, for one actually find the fine door and panel lines on resin curbside preferable to the gaping cravasses on the even high priced diecast. Quit complaining and be thankful the resin releases are keeping this collecting hobby going forward.

Kyosho has produced a couple Ferrari models for BBR...
namely the Enzo & possibly the F430's.

Photos: I have both those models. I think the Enzo is particularly nice.
Did Kyosho make and label them for BBR?
