Three items produced by Brumm over the past few years; there are others but these are what I have in my collection. I really enjoy them - the outer box basically unfolds and I've removed the clear plastic shell for display. The "722" '55 Mille Miglia Stirling Moss/Denis Mercedes
Jenkinson
was issued in the past month and the photo doesn't do it justice. The Porsche 356/2 Gmund is, I believe, the first resin model from Brumm and I'm a big 356 (and 917!!) fan. Yes, other Italian models may be of higher quality/detail but for the price, I like these very much and when I first discovered "modern" 1/43 diecast 25 years ago Brumm was the first one I landed on. Enjoy!

Did Brumm "give up" and start making resin cars in China? I hope they continue their diecast in Italy!

@karl No - they are 100% made in Italy. Small firm, less than 10 people do it all.

@tedweller Good to know they are doing both diecast metal and resin now, all still in Italy. We publish their newsletter in MAR Online! I had forgotten this orange Porsche! "The first coupe model in resin completely made in Italy": https://www.maronline.org.uk/news-from-the-brumm-july-2019/ 🙄

The Gmund seems popular these days.
