The tipe of review that i need on the long week end! Well done ROB and what a stunning model! Cheers! Riki ( :
Man I’ve been looking for A 1/18 F40 for so long
This is the one to buy!
I spoke to you on IG a few days ago about this model, and I took the plunge to purchase it because of the post you made last week. Thank you, it looks simply stunning. It almost seems like I own the real car with how realistic this model looks.
And it's EXACTLY the same F40 as Amalgam. The only difference is Amalgam has a better base and comes with a certificate. But it is essentially the same model.
Glad to hear it!
i think this model is the most beautiful among all ferrari models!
Nice that you can see through the rear mesh into the engine.
Truly beautiful model.
They got the tail mesh right! Beautiful! In love with this F-40!
Looks amazing!
Great review. My only real criticism of 1/18 scale cars even top resin models (BBR and MR) is the lack of tire branding. Glad this one has it.
The F40 is fantastic , really !
🎩👌👏👏👏🏆🥇👍
I was very impressed with an AB Model of the Ferrari 312P that I bought last year. I've been really wondering about how good this model really is because pictures don't do this model justice. Thanks for this review, Rob!
Hey Rob, hope you had a lovely Christmas and wish you a very happy new year!! When are you coming back to the Channel? I have watched all your videos twice already. 😅😊👍🏼
I put my order in on your word..🤣
Ordered the 60th anniversary edition. It's the kind of model that is gonna be sold quickly.
It does look accurate. I have doubts about the Kyosho because their die-cast metal model has inaccuracies and my model started getting paint rashes that I sold it.
That's sweet lv the interior
Faaaantastic!!😍
It’s beautiful...
Very nice collection I might say. Imagine what these cars will be worth 100 years from now at the Antique Roadshow when none of us are around to see it. Oh, and if you kept the boxes they'd be worth an extra 50k each.
I looked long for an F40 model. BBR falls short in the wheel detail and accuracy. AB Models F40 was a surprise find and buying from Ari was a breeze as I bought from him before. Definitely my best buy!
Very nice!
People out there actually believe that the BBR is more detailed, it is simply not. This is exactly the same as the Amalgam!
@@manveerghuman5276 true story. AB Models hit this one out the park!
@@asifvinoos5442 I could not believe it when I first saw it one ebay, got a discount offer too, seriously too good to be true. Let's keep an eye on their site from now on
No chance to get the hands on one of those where I live
So why is the model not removed from the base to show the suspension details?
I just ordered one for only $275 USD brand new Rob!!!!
Can you do a video about your cars in real life?
Looks like they are SOLD OUT! I missed this deal. I have been looking for a F40 in 1/18
'The next release is the 60th anniversary model, and then after that, plain red with black LM wheels.
La ferrari più bella di tutti i tempi
funny story - I bought a model very very similar to this one off of an Facebook ad - bad mistake. it arrived yesterday. nice black box. when open I noticed the driver seat was loose and sitting on top go the passenger seat. turn model over to try to move the seat and the rear spoiler fell off. the tires are plain black &no writing and the well covers look like the belong on a hotwheels toy. I do now own a beautiful black leather base.
Hi Rob! You forgot the F40 made by Amalgam, no?
have you not been following lol this is the exact same car as the amalgam
@@albertkelly7129 I just ordered one a few days ago for an amazing price ($275) and comes with a base and plexiglass like Rob mentioned mind you! I looked back and forth and found out it was an Amalgam before you guys noticed. The BBR is missing a lot of detail and the way they do their badges is easily recognizable.
@@manveerghuman5276 Did you get yours yet?
@@jefftcn9441 coincidentally it just arrived home today when i got back from work
@@manveerghuman5276 and what are your thoughts?
Amazing. If only they or another company would branch out and start making models of all the Zonda and Huayra variants. Almost-Real are taking far too long to get theirs to market.
I just want a Zonda R (2009) or even the special Top Gear/ Nurburgring special
@@manveerghuman5276 AutoArt makes those.
Resin?
Buddyyyyyyy
Where can you buy this? Cost?
Autobarn’s website. As of 5:30 EST there are 2 left.

Great model and good review.

Check description and links
I've bought so many cars from them.
I want F40 LM and F50 GT
Very nice model indeed. The only negative I could say about it are the red seatbelts. They look too bulgy and they should've been black...
Can't wait for mine!
Looks fantastic. Too bad they were available in such limited quantities only. Which leads me to believe that these are models that were produced for Amalgam, but for some reason didn't make it through QC. Otherwise they surely could have made a few more models? Or is Amalgam 1/18 really overrated, as I've read here and there?
These are made by the Amalgam factory, and yes, it is my belief that these did not pass QC hence why they became available. From what I have seen, the 1/18 Amalgam models are no better quality than BBR models. Very overrated for the price, you are paying extra for the display case and the Ferrari information booklet included.
@@ROBSMODELCARS Thanks a lot for these reviews! They're really helpful. Since the F40 is also my favourite, just for this specific model I'd be willing to fork out more just to get the best possible. The 1/8 Amalgam would be just too much, but a 1/18 Amalgam may be the treat, looking at your other review with the AB/BBR/Kyosho comparison. BBR was a bit disappointing there imho.
The Amalgam F40 looks spectacular on pictures, but looking at the Amalgam 1/18 Miura for example, the chrome around the rear fog lights looks a bit unfinished, so having these reviews of actual specimens is great. I also liked the one with the 288 GTO KK-scale/Hotwheels. Glad I did buy the KK-scale. Very nice model for the price.
Hardly best if nothing opens
To be honest, the engine doesn´t look good, the resin Kyosho F40 looks better in that area, also has more decals, for example the factory instruction on the windshied and head lights.
This one looks more accurate in terms of shape but I dont feel it is the definitive version.
I still think the best F40 is the diecast high end series, with all it´s opening parts, number of pieces, full engine detail and pop up head lights.
While all the opening parts are nice, it just doesn't look as good as this Autobarn version. On the diecast Kyosho, the shape of the headlights are off as well.
As mentioned, the diecast F40 looks very inaccurate. I have the Kyosho myself and I'm still looking for a resin to replace it.
im afraid im not seeing what your seeing Rob. ive mostly walked away from resins but i made it a mission to source the Kyosho resin F40 as no 1/18 diecast version got the shape and stance right. this one doesnt look anywhere as good as the Kyosho to me ...the front wheels look too far inset the tyres dont look right the rear silver rivets are just plain wrong the mesh surround is all black just as on the Kyosho which also simulates the rivets, the engine looks completely pedestrian compared to the Kyosho. we cant really see but ill take your word the interior might be better but honestly thats the least important part of a resin car. Kyosho version is much better than this to my eyes.
on second look lol this is the same car as the amalgam version. pretty good they can sell the same car for far less but we all know amalgams 1/18 range is sub par and just rides off the name of their superlative 1/8 cars
@@albertkelly7129 It is the same car as Amalgam. I have this car sitting beside me as I type this message. It is stunning. I would also take the advice of Rob as he owns both the Kyosho high end and this AB model F40 as it is a much better version.
@@modernshifter1735 lol
Same model ;)
@@ROBSMODELCARS yeah i figured it pretty quick. begs the question... do amalgam actually make any of their 1/18's or is it done by license and thats why AB are also able to get into the action? makes sense to me because like i mentioned earlier amalgams 1/18 stuff is worlds away from what theyre known for.
Is this ferrari licensed?
Don't think so. May Cheong Group has the license and they already have sublicensing deal with Tomica.
@@traviswalker8933
I found this model is from china. Maybe someone copy the Amalgam verison?
Not saying made in china is bad. (frontiart for example)
But for a collector's perspective "official licensed" has more collecting value
@@maidoll_fei every premium model is made in China so that doesn't make a difference. I'd be more concerned about the licensing since none of the three brands (BBR, Amalgam and AB) have the Ferrari license. Kyosho had the license back in the day as they sublicensed from Mattel.
@@traviswalker8933 BBR not offical licensed? But why it has Ferrari official licensed sticker?
I think few MR model are made in italy. (They can quick correct/make changes on my model and send to me directly from italy)
Again not saying made in china is bad. Most of time their build quality are more stable
@@maidoll_fei older BBR models have the licensing sticker but the newer ones do not as the license is held by May Cheong group. BBR held it for a brief period.
Most detailed and most accurate scale model of a F40 out there....gets 9/10 score. Is there even a 10/10 out there? lol
I would've easily given this one a 10, but then again I'm not too familiar with these high end scale models and don't know if there's even a higher level scale models then these.
I think the best F40 model is the 1/12 Kyosho
For 1/18 scale, this one is quite well made.
If they didn't have the paint problems yes
Hii
Gday
Даже не открывается? В чем тогда лучшая?
Tanti soldi spesi ma è una collezione asettica e con poca fantasia. Voto 3
