No doubt, that's enjoyable expansion of the Ferrari wing since 2007 !

And the funny thing is................
I probably have Exoto to thank for it.
I think that TK's legal battle with Ferrari woke Ferrari up to the fact that there was money to be had in diecast. They worked out a new 'tiered' licencing strategy that ended up getting us a slew of 'better' to 'best' models from the likes of Kyosho, GMP, CMC, BBR, and even Hot Wheels upgraded 'Elite' line. And now with Fujimi in the mix with resin models we stand an even better chance of getting 'oddities' that might never get made otherwise.
I guess sometimes it might be good to wake-up the sleeping giant.

Blue magazines on your second schelf.
Dear. Frank:
I looked at you post again and noticed what appears to be a subscription you collect. Can you tell me what they are and if they have anything to do with your knowledge base on Diecast Automobiles
ou and I are much alike. I buy book pertaining to the history of many of my diecast model collection. One day soon when my wife moves my small office out to our family room I will have more book and display places to show and admire my hobby. Do you recommend any book I should purchase. Your Ferrari inflation has rubbed off on me. You are the best 10 stars.

The magazines............
are many years worth 'Vintage Racecar Magazine' and indeed they are a source for race history.
The books I buy, as you might expect, mirror my collection interest so I have more Cobra books than any other followed by Ferrari and a smattering of others. These days though I get a good deal of my information off the internet.
