The watch list of the upcoming 1:24 model cars (part 2)

Further to my last blog about the upcoming 1:24 model cars, the respective official model sites have disclosed the detail of the new models.
The Ferrari 250GTO looks very impressive, best of all, it includes engine details, this is a must-buy item, I might buy 2 boxes.


The Ferrari F430 Scuderia looks good too, it's a curb side model, no engine detail, normal Fujimi quality, it worth to build though as the real car looks cool.

The Nissan GTR  R35, I norticed that the front wheels can turn left and right, so I will buy it. 

For the Ferrari F430 Shark-nose, I am still considering.

The watch list of the upcoming 1:24 model cars




The watch list of the upcoming 1:24 new model cars:
1. Ferrari 250GTO (Fujimi);



2. Ferrari F430 Scuderia (Fujimi); and



3. Nissan GTR (R35) (Tamiya)



4. Ferrari F430 Challenge Shark Nose



As a Ferrari fan, 250 GTO is one of my favourite Ferrri cars.  Although I have bought one from eBay a few years ago, which made by Gunze Sangyo for more than US$50 (quite expensive), this one from Fujimi is still attractive to me.  If the model quality is good, I might consider to sell off the existing one as it's become more and more difficult to find in the market, I might possibly sell it off for higher price to recover my costs.  Keep my fingers cross.


Ferrari F430 Scuderia is my another favourite car recently and I foresee Fujimi will manufacture it sooner or later.  The car has a lot of Carbon Fibre parts, I don't think Fujimi will provide the CF decal for such parts.

Nissan GTR is a King of the Japanese sports car, needless to say, this one cannot be missed.  Additionally, Tamiya's quality is a great guarantee.  However, I hope the front wheel of the model can turned (unlike the Nissan 350Z street version).

Finally is the F430 Challenge (Shark Nose).  The model only attracted me by its cool decal.
