Modern day cars are what appeals to me in any range. I tend to leave the fantasy models alone and they are suited to the Hot Wheels range.
The inclusion of a Focus estate in the Bburago 1/43 collection does remind me of K-74 Volvo Estate by Lesney all those years ago.
OK, it doesn't have the front absorbing bumper, nor the opening boot, but I think that by owning that particular model, I realised that there were estate cars available on Britain's roads. Yes, I had seen them in real life, but never paid much attention.
Normally there is a tendency to just include all the supercars and be done with it. I am really pleased that Bburago has decided not to go down this route and concentrate on what is seen. And more to the point, the little people will relate to this car. They can see a version on the road.
The proportions are captured well, tampoing is nicely executed - a good, honest model.

That's why I also love bburago. They transport "real life" models to the die-cast world perfectly! Sure, they also make Ferrari's, Lamborghini's and similar dream cars but where else can you find similar real life models such as Reanult, Citroen, Mini Cooper, Ford pickups, Audi's and so on.
ReplyDeleteYou can check out my collection of various Bburago 1:43 Die-cast cars; I did my best to make the best possible photos.
About your hot wheels comment. I believe matchbox are far superior to hot wheels just because of that. They make "real" die casts models.

Like your blog's background image... really comforting :)
