2004 Ford BA Falcon #1

by Classic Carlectables

 

First of all, I want to thank Gary (Gundam40) who indirectly saved me a few bucks on these. I was going to buy them through Scale18 but went with Linpin Holdings instead. It all turned out great!!!

This is my first time buying Classic Carlectables models and I have to say I am quite pleased!


Let's begin:

Ford BA Falcon driven by Marcos Ambrose - 2004 V8 Supercar Series Champion

Pictures do not do the impressive details justice. You thought Exoto is aggressive? Check this out:

Easily one of the most detailed engines I've ever seen. Wiring, cylinder heads, pulleys - you name it, and it's there. It comes originally covered with a carbon fiber platform which can be removed.

The interior is the model's biggest strength because it shows great effort. It's just as, if not better than most AUTOart race cars. Again, pictures do not do justice.

Rear compartment shows pipes, pressure cans, cables... everything!

Plenty of detail underneath!

Rims and slicks are properly labeled. Grooved brake rotors rotate independently from the nice calipers but they are plastic. This is the only 'fault' I could find.

This one's highly recommended.
