Models I’m keeping my eyes peeled for include the 2000, 2004 and 2007 Ferraris, plus maybe even the 2015 Ferrari (some markets had the SF15-T that helped Seb win the Malaysian GP. [the proof being that they gave it accurately orange-marked Pirelli P-Zero slicks.]

I too managed to get the MP4/4.

P.S: Under F1 2015 tire rules, orange markings are resrved for hard tires.

One little heads up about one of the models.

If we really get the SF70H it will be a Bburago model.

I was fortunate enough to check an eBay listing for the said models and I spotted the SF70H right away thanks to a few identifiable features.

But still, at least they were mind enough to finally give it the properly wide tires.

It took Bburago until the SF71H before they could finally do those tires in their proper width...

But out of this entire collection, I would get: Kimi’s F2007, Hunt’s M23, Hakkinen’s Mclaren, Salo’s F399, Seb’s SF15T and SF70H (2 of this because it’s Bburago, so that I can transfer the tires to another car that I have...) ; just to name a few.

Bburago’s first F1 models were Red Bull’s cars (including the 2013 car) and later the 2014 Mercedes F1 cars. The others include the 2016 Mercedes plus the 2015, 2016 and 2017 Red Bull cars.

But before that they did Ferrari’s F10 and F2012 for their new Ferrari lineup. Other Ferrari F1 cars Bburago have done would be the F14T, SF15T, SF16H, SF70H and the 71H...

Pansing’s website say Issue 9 may be the 2015 Ferrari, as driven by Vettel.

Some countries got Kimi’s version, but with the significance of our market we will more than likely get Vettel’s 2015 Malaysian GP car. (with Pirelli’s orange marked 'Hard' tires.)

Bburago also did the HALO with the SF71-H, but not the Monaco GP model (that has the side mirrors on the device itself.)

Also, some of the 140 issues that are in the list for the Italian market version of this magazine will include the 2017 and 2018 Mercedes F1 cars, plus the 2017 and 2018 Ferrari and Red Bull cars. (It is of course, initial info that is completely unconfirmed, but the FB user who does the decals for this collection posted that list on his decals sales page...)

I mean, the Martini logos are still on the Lancia rally cars from the Rally Car Collection.

Only markets that can’t have those logos are the Middle Eastern ones.

P.S: Since the company that makes the models is Italian, their market’s collection will have a total of 140 issues (including the 2017 and 2018 Mercedes and Red Bull cars. [wonder if Bburago will ever do those considering they already did the Ferrari 2017 and 2018 F1 cars...]

60 for Malaysia? Not bad (compared to the Italian release’s 140 issues...)

I just hope they include the 2004, 2007, 2015 and 2017 Ferrari cars... (If I get those there will be some work to be done.)

Up until 2008, the tobacco sponsors ban was in effect in both France and the UK for F1 races, which is why for those 2 races you’d see the teams’ liveries being different. (I watched F1 from 2001 till today to know that. And why I don’t mention 2007 here is that despite the forbidding of tobacco sponsorship after 2006, Ferrari displayed Marlboro logos on their cars for the Bahrain and Shanghai GPs...)

The model in that IG photo however, has the properly wide tyres per the 2017 rule changes (something Bburago themselves didn’t do until they did the Ferrari SF71-H.)

After all, if they do bring in the F2004 in the detail photo, it's Rubens' car.

That 'unntentional error' will help solve the problem of having to get a pair of no. 2 F2004s just to do a lot of DIY work to renumber the other car.

Both the F2002 and F2003-GA do not have the mid-wing that is seen on the F2004 up until the F2008...

Small question: has anybody been lucky enough with finding any Bburago 1/43 models of the 2018 Ferrari F1 car when at places like Parkson or Toys'rUs?

It seems that the company’s QC problems were on full display with those cars... (I will point that out later.)

I've been able to get their SF71-H cars in 1/43, but the 1st 2 suffered from QC issues at the airbox vent (mis-shaped. Had to get replacements via Shopee)

Meanwhile the 2015 & 2016 cars are mostly gone from eBay... (the UK market's F1 Car Collection has both the 2017 & 2018 Ferrari F1 cars, both models made by Bburago...)

P.S: Bburago are making the SF1000 in 1/18, 24, 32 & 43 (one regular, one premium) ; several listings of that car are on eBay (most of them being in China; all painted in the "1000th GP" livery)

One model that I hope makes it to the Malaysia marker's F1CC will be the SF15-T (that model is not made by Bburago, so I will be getting 2 of those [I will also be removing the number decal and re-applying them...]
