Kyosho Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona Competizione - #39 Team Pozzi

The Ferrari 365 GTB/4 was for a long time on my wish and this week I finally got my Daytona. The 365 GTB/4 is one the iconic Ferrari's (seems that every second Ferrari is iconic but ... ). Developed during the late 60's in a time when super cars where moving the rear engine old Enzo and company developed something classic. 

Of the ~ 1400 365's build about 14 where special 'Competizione' versions like this one build for racing. This car #39 won the 1972 Le Mans GT class for team Charles Pozzi.

This is my first model from Kyosho and it's amazing. The first thing is that the model is heavy, meaning less plastic and more metal. The second thing is the amount of fine detail in the engine and the car's interior. Lastly I just love the exterior, the details, paint job, sponsorship logos etc. 

I paid a lot but still at discount and it was worth it.

What I love the most of this model, the racing delivery with all the little detail.

Bburgo Lamborgini Aventador

The Lamborghini Aventador is currently one of the apex super cars, maybe not as fast a Veyron (350 vs 400 km/h) but definitely up there with the Ferrari's. One thing about  Lamborghini's I like is how good they look in bright colors, A yellow or lime green Lamborghini's just looks good, the same as the orange one, few other cars can do that.

I got the Bburgo really cheap so I did not expect much but surprisingly it was not too bad. Okay the detail may not be as good as Autoart or so but still interior looks good and because the engine is mostly covered by plastic panels you in any case see not going to see much detail in the engine bay. Outside also descend details like the brakes.

All in all a nice 'entry' model.
