This is a a 32 year old Bburago kit build. I'm posting this knowing Chav might be the only one interested, but I feel the need to keep him entertained. For the age and the $15 price point, it's pretty darned nice. The cartograf decals are somewhat daunting but with a bit of teasing they manage the compound curves quite nicely.

I, too, really appreciate the Bburago kits and pricing points; then AND now Rich.
I have quite a few of them in various scales and they still make some nice ones today. These, in 1:24th scale. Bburago SF90 Stradale Spider:
The 488 GTB:
And the LaFerrari aperta:

@perrone1 Since Bburago teamed up with Maisto in Hong Kong, they've really upped their standards in parts count and finish. I didn't realize that Maisto actually was a vendor for Franklin Mint. The older Italian based Bburagos all need some work, but you can still get decent results with some elbow grease.
BTW: Beautiful pics, my friend.

@chav The new generation of Bburagos are so well done. The late models Ferraris like Tony was showing are driving me crazy. They are so nice and affordable but I haven't got any room for anything and I'm currently downsizing to boot.

Yes sir, really looking good, and as Rich points out, they are still quite reasonably priced. I scout the eBay for them from time to time and always seems to be a good supply. GETTING them, via mailing/shipping, is something else all together though!
