30 years ago, I was searching for diecast Ferrari models in any scale. Best I could come up this was these Bburago kits. With these $10-$15 1/24 kits, you could paint detail them as you assemble them and they came with the incredible Cartograf decals that can be coaxed to follow compound curves, are very opaque, crisp and on register. The painted bodies easily polished up to rid of any orange peel and offered opening panel albeit with excessive panel gap, but it allowed me to have a collection of Ferraris and Porsches not available elsewhere. I even have a mid-'70s Mustang ll McLaren turbo-4 race car. Try and find one of those! LOL
Here's an early '90s Ferrari 348 tb (transversale berlinetta) Evoluzione Brummel:

That's a LOT of decals, expertly applied! BTW, I'd love to see your McLaren Mustang II if you get a chance to post it in the future.

@pete-rovero I know I did a decent shoot on this model, but I can't find it. I did most of my indexing on Photobucket which for some reason I got locked out of it and they couldn't or wouldn't help me to access it, so I lost it and got a refund but it's been a nightmare ever since. This is one of Bburago's oldest so the castings aren't chased very well. I found 3 ancient photographs that don't show the engine or interior details. If I stumble on the good pics, I'll post them.
