REALCollector: Is that the 360 GTC Race Presentation 2001 from IXO? Nice.
Why didn't choose the ones with race livery? Or perhaps it's äkan datang"?
Got one Ferrari 360 N/GT #89 (K.Burt / D.Turner) FIA GT Magny Cours 2003 made and serialised by Autobarn from a BBR kit (PJ316) and it is suppose to be an exact replica of the car that raced in the 2003 N-GT class in Magny Cours. The #88 sibling car is the same kit but I guess just slightly different decals. I think I showed this in one of my teaser pics. So here are some close up pics of it;
Anyway, some brief history about this particular car;
The Team Maranello Concessionaires #89 car was driven by Kelvin Burt (GB) and Darren Turner (GB). They qualified 22nd on the grid overall were 2nd overall in the N-GT class during the 2nd round 2003 FIA-GT at Magny Cours (3 laps behind the winner) with the other team car #88 taking the 1st position but was later disqualified when it was found to have an illegal sized fuel tank.
The #89 car started the 1st round of the N-GT class 2003 season at the Catalunya track in Barcelona, Spain, quite good with 3rd placing behind the the other team car #88 and 10th placing overall after completing 92 laps which is 4 laps behind the GT class winner (Ferrari 550 Maranello from Team BMS Scuderia). Good effort for the team with 2nd and 3rd placing.
In the 3rd round FIA GT championship N-GT class in Enna-Pergusa track in Italy, car #89 finished 8th placing in the N-GT class just one place behind the #88 car and in 16th position overall after retiring at 81 laps due to transmission fault.
In the 4th round at the Brno Circuit, Czech Republic, car #89 finished 10th placing in the N-GT class after completing 79 laps and 19th place overall together with the GT class which means only 9 out of 18 GT class cars were faster than car #89. They were also 8 laps off pace behind the winner. Car #88 driven by Tim Mullen and Jamie Davies did better to secure 3rd place after completing 84 laps of the race.
In the 5th round at Donington Park circuit, the #89 car was not so lucky. They were classified DNF after completing only 37 laps before retiring due to gearbox problems. Car #88 finished 5th in the N-GT class and 14th overall with 6 laps behind the winner. Amazingly, the #89 was faster in qualifying than the #88 car as they were 17th on the starting grid compared to 20th on the starting grid for the #88 car.
In the 6th round for the 24 hours Spa, the #89 car did average but slightly better than the #88 car. After 6 hours, the #89 car was in 7th position while car #88 was in 6th position in the N-GT class both clocking 104 laps. After 12 hours, only the #89 car was classified and went on to register 8th fastest in the N-GT class clocking 203 laps. After 24 hours, #89 car finished 20th overall and 7th in the N-GT class. The #88 car finished in the 39th placing and was classified DNF after only clocking 104 laps.
In the 7th round in Anderstorp, Sweden, car #89 was not so lucky as they finished their worst results finishing last place and were classified DNF after only completing 64 laps. Car #88 finished 9th position overall with only 4 laps behind the winner and finished 3rd in the N-GT class. Both cars #88 and #89 were quite equal in that they qualified 21st and 22nd on the starting grid respectively.
In the 8th round in Oschersleben track, Germany, car #89 finished 3rd placing just behind car #88 and 7th placing overall after finishing 117 laps. They were off by 2 laps behind the GT car winner (Ferrari 550 Maranello from Team BMS Scuderia).
In the 9th round in Estoril track in Portugal, car #89 finished 9th placing in the N-GT class and finished 17th overall. Car #88 fared better and was 2nd in the N-GT class and finished 9th overall. Both cars qualified 18th (#88) and 20th (#89) spot on the starting grid but eventually, luck would have it that car #89 had to retire after 95 laps due to a brake problem.
In the final 10th round in Monza circuit in Italy, car #88 got 9th placing in the N-GT class and 19th overall. They completed were 10 laps behind the overall GT class winner (Ferrari 550 Maranello from Team BMS Scuderia with 87 laps). Not so lucky for car #89 as they were not classified as they fell short of completing the required minimum 70% of winner's distance (in this case only 58 laps) due to some electrical problems with the car.
Overall, the #89 car from Team Maranello Concessionaires did not fare so well in the season compared to the other #88 car and compared to the other cars from the other teams as well especially the Porsche 911 GT3-RS which dominated the N-GT class.

Tapi.....not much people manage to get it....Your "Tauhu busuk" tu same rasa yah...hehehehe 
I'm planning on the F430 Spider and Challenge from BBR too. Any advice on which to get first? I was thinking of getting all of them but bringing them all back to Malaysia will be a huge headache... 
USD 250 bucks than can lah... 
Just a small note on the HW Elite 599 GTB Fiorano... It's light like the other Elites and I'm pretty sure if I look hard at the model in detail, they would cut corners using cheap stuff. But what to do right? Currently only HW is making the 599 in 1/18 scale.
lucky u!!! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL 
... almost every Malaysian has it... 
. I'll certainly try to use proper Focus, lighting and getting a Tripod soon... 
nah jk!
