I do like the 246, it's still the only Ferrari that a kind owner let me sit in, getting out again wasn't very easy! Nice model.

One of my favourite Ferraris. The model looks great too.

Thank you gentlemen! Many many years ago Jeremy Clarkson ordered a brand new F355 in one of TG episodes. He wanted a green one but in the end he ordered a red one. Ha-ha. I was in a similar situation because I wanted something different from the "boring" red. Thus I got a silver one, some weeks later a red one popped up on ebay and I bought it. The silver one showed couple of pages behind is no longer in the collection. I love that car, the best V8 Ferrari design to me, 458 comes second close. Bang makes the Targa version so I can fulfill my desire for a model different from red. The blue metallic looks tempting.

246, 308, 355 - the holy trinity of mid engined Ferrari’s for me. I’d add on the 296 from the most modern era

That is about where I draw the line when it comes to good-looking Ferraris. Very nice model, I bought that when it was released.

Thank you gentlemen, I see we share almost similar opinions regarding the V8 Ferrari lineup. Here is one outlier in my collection. Completely not planned model. It appeared in a local facebook group for sale and I bough it. Why? Because Terminator 2 was one of the first movies I remember watching. My parents had a VHS copy (unauthorized one of course) and I used to watch it at least once a week. Then I recreated the car chases with my toys  . All this was back happening around 1993-4-5. The movie is definitely not suitable for kids. But 1. It was the 90s, 2. my parents were in their late 20s the parental control consisted of covering my eyes when someone got shot or some lady exposed herself , 3. all my friends were watching these action movies. Lovely times. As for the Terminator 2, I still find the special effects, chases and cinematography brilliant after all these years. Four different trucks were used to film this scene. The Altaya models is good, the only drawback is the second and third axles which are chromed. They need to be white. Freightliner FLA8664 Terminator 2 Altaya             |

I love the tow truck, that is a model I shall have to lookout for. The film was very good too.
The 355 is another good looking Ferrari, I think I have a Minichamps model of one.

I always find it annoying when vehicles in films survive ridiculous abuse and keep going. In this case the front axle of the truck is visibly wrecked when it lands from the bridge yet it miraculously continues on. Still, a nice model of a vehicle from an iconic film.

Nice. I have been so tempted by this but I don't know where I would put it.
