The smallest model cars I’ve ever heard of were of the 1:87 scale, used in railway dioramas. And then my friend got this one for me from Bangkok :Shockked: : Apparently, they gave these cars along with Georgia coffee in Japan lol: |

I guess it is about 1.5 odd inches in length. |

Just a smidgen over that, around 1.8 inches :). Ha ha! Would love to :D. Unfortunately though, I don't think they offer these any more. I couldn't find much information on these on the web either. Sure sir, here you go: |

I don't really collect 1:43 models and these 5 of the 7 in the collection. Proud to present the modern Ferrari 5. Took some time as I wanted them in my favorite colors of each of the car. The 288 GTO, F40 and F50 are Hotwheels Elite. The Enzo is a Kyosho. The Ferrari TheFerrari is Bburago Signature Edition. |

All very appealing especially the yellow one. If not 1:43 which is your preferred size. Thanks. |

Thank you sir. The yellow one is a 288 GTO and one hell of a looker. My preferred size to collect remains 1:18. Current list is at 65/70 odd 1:18 models and an additional 4 on order for delivery in the coming months. |

Thank you, Rohan, for your prompt reply. Please offer your candid view on 1:24 for collectors models? Where aircraft go I know what I want. On cars I'm still learning...and you are a good teacher. |

Thank you for the kind words sir! In my opinion 1:24 is the ideal size from a price and storage point of view. And some of the models available in 1:24 are beautifully detailed as well. However, that being said, the 1:18s have a charm of their own and the level of detailing is definitely a step up in my personal opinion. But it all comes at a rather steep cost and some storage issues due to the size. As I wanted to go with quality over quantity, I have stuck to 1:18s mostly and burnt a small car size hole in my pocket. If you'd like to collect a limited number of high quality detailed models (and storing and display is not an issue) my recommendation remains for 1:18. As always, happy to discuss this more over a cup of coffee with you! Regards Rohan |

Seeing your Ferrari 5, thought of posting mine as well along with other Horses in my collection. |

So so beautiful Dippy! Totally made my day. Your collection was one of the main reasons why i got in to collecting scale models about 7 years back. I was not a member then so could never comment but used to oogle at your models all the time. Cheers! Rohan |
