Lost Stash FOUND! Old & Dirty Model Car Kits
It was nice to hear there was a story behind this indi car, and mentioning the drivers name, Pat Flaherty. The old model cars have this unique look. It's easy to be addicted to Musk Sticks, I used to eat them as a Youngster. Thanks Wixy 500 it was great viewing 👍
😊
Paid 40$ CAD for a 6 pcs box set of RB burago at Costco, might not be the best in regards to details but for the price I cannot argue!
How can Ibuy one of this ferrari in website Icant find order
You won't find it on my website because I am not a model retailer. Do a Google search, or just jump on ebay, these are readily available.

Huh? What's five ways?

i cut the doors open and cut the front cowl off so i had to add all kinds of details to the front of the car. Also have issues with zero paint, and the crinkle coat happened to me too. i stripped the paint but those damn bacterium persisted. Thats what the body looked like, millions of germs in a petri dish. Shit i have three dozen colors in zero for all manner of cars how do we prevent this?
I used left-overs of the same paint on my Buddy Baker NASCAR build, but applied thinner coats over several sessions and didn't have an issue on that one. But the Zero can be very frustrating!
Last thing, I have 83 unbuilt car kits and im 63 so i better get to work. i usually build at least two at a time and finish about 6 or seven a year. Wish i could show you. Be well
Sent me a pic/s via my Facebook Page if you like? > facebook.com/wixy500
I have never ever seen an authentic realistic weathering on a model car until now. Superb workmanship having seen cars after races this looks just right.
Thank you, glad you liked it. I think sometimes people over-weather their models and make them too dirty to be realistic.
just a quick note, the difference between the normal and premium versions of bburago f1 models are that the normal versionss have a bulky suspension as it is basically a toy version but the premium version has a realistic suspension
On which cars is that the case? The Bburago Standard and Premiums I have, the models are identical except for the driver figure.
@@wixy500 it’s on the cars which have a proper display
Correct @@wixy500
Maybe you are thinking of the 1/24 scale versions which carry more detail. This video is about 1/43 scale.
Cheers.
Im have RB20 2023
I own a #16 SF23 ferrari with the signature box and they are accurate to the real thing
Where i can buy this?
Depends where you live. They are available in discount/department stores in numerous countries, as well as hobby shops and online. Do some Google searching in your area...
when modified the right way and keeping the details as sharp and as close as the real thing, it then become one of....But again, that is my opinion....
If anyone has a Costco nearby, they have a box set of 6 differents F1 Bburago's cars from the same team. The obvious Ferrari set but you can get a Mclaren, Mercedes and Red Bull. The box set is sold in Canada for get this 39.99 $CAN ( 6.67$ each ).... That deal is on now Sept-October 2024 and some may ran them until early december
That's amazing value! Some of the earlier Bburago models in those sets are not as good as the later releases, but still, hard to beat.
I bought an RB19 1:24 Bburago a couple days ago, and I’m actually really impressed in our it turned out. Sure it’s big but it’s really really accurately made and I don’t think any other brand could have made it any better
I haven't had a close look at their 1:24 version yet, but your comments mirror what others have been saying
Here in America the RB19 Bburago was 10 dollars
Excellent value
I don’t like cast lines on tyres, I had to make a dremel jig to profile the tires.
Fiddly work, but it does improve the look :)
Great video I have the same booth has you.. one tip I put cling wrap around the lights to stop over spray
Thanks. Yeah, cling wrap would work too, and it's cheap!
Im a massive fan of f1 but i make minimum wage and Bburago are perfect to show off. They have the important details I want and they look good on display.
Yep, a great alternative if the expensive brands are out of reach.
Do you know if we have anything like this in Perth?
Yes, there is, in fact I think there's a couple of them - do some searching on Google and/or Facebook. This FB page is a good starting point: facebook.com/PerthandDistrictsModelClub
I have two of them (Lando And Charles)🎉
Nice one mate 👍
Thanks!
👍👍
Hey mate, great vid ,really enjoyed it! Just wondering how you find out about these swap meats, I'd like to attend a few! Thanks Phil
Glad you enjoyed it! It popped up on my Facebook feed, plus mentions by my local modelling club.
Great show, nice display of models.. Thanks for sharing..
Great coverage, looks like an outstanding show. Thanks for sharing for us to enjoy. Cheers from across the Pacific
Good stuff, mate.
Great Cars bringing back good memories. I loved the Number 12 Jaguar car and what a great Spoiler. Really nicely photographed. Thanks Wixy 500 for this enjoyable video. 👍
No problem. Whoever it is who built those models has done a lot of work sculpting those spoilers, flares etc :)
@@wixy500 That's for sure and a steady hand. Thanks
Thank you for the review. Really nice show.
My main goal is to get the oracle f1 car
Just checked out @wixy500's review of the Bburago Aston Martin F1 diecast model and I'm thoroughly impressed! The attention to detail is remarkable, and it's clear that this model is a must-have for any F1 enthusiast. Great video, packed with insightful commentary and close-ups that really showcase the craftsmanship of the model. 👍
Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe 👍👍😎😎🚗🚗
How much
The price I paid is in the video. How much you pay depends on what country you're in and who/where you buy from.
Deckels. Love it.
hahaha :p
I think that it looks better modified even though it isn’t in mint condition any more. Good job 🎉
what about VW interior chrome. currently trying to strip mine with patio cleaner and its working very very slow. There in 5 litres of the strong stuff and its been 7 days and only like half done and some bits look barely done. What can i do?
What brand of kit is your VW?
@@wixy500 its a real car, its a RS3 2018.
Oh, I can't give comment on that - this channel is about model cars, not real ones lol
Bro it’s out I saw it and people have it rn and it’s been out
Yes. Exactly 😜. Did you get one?
@@wixy500 no but I have 12, from the year 2023, Mercedes, Alpine, REDBULL, Ferrari, McLaren and Alfa Romeo
Hello Wixy in the end of 2024 there also should arrive Bburago Las Vegas F1 cars for Ferrari, Redbull and Kick Sauber teams 🥰 Cause of your very good videos I started to have some F1 cars in my collection 🎉 Greetings from EU
That will be cool :) I hope you are enjoying your F1s.
Thanks for your reply, I look forward for some more BBURAGO F1 reviews 🌐👍
Looks reasonable. I've got the spark 43rd Alonso AMR23 car and it's lovely, definitely next level compared with bburago. Annoyingly some UK ebayer has some for sale for a fair less than what I paid, so there's a good deal to be had on that one. I wish the real car disnt have so much exposed black carbon on the upper sidepods. However in real life yiure rarely seeing it from suxh a high angle and its hidden. I noticed yours has some blemishes in the RHS sidepod carbon bit. The fin design suggests it's an early season version. Spark and minichamps do a Bahrain version so may be that. Although I think it would be pretty unchanged for a few races anyway, such as at Australia
Oh yeah, can't beat the Spark for quality and accuracy. The Bburago just offers decent value.
I really like the Tyres of this Aston Martin, very realistic looking. Thanks for this video.
My pleasure!
@@wixy500 Thank you
Now this I have to get been wanting one of these Aston Martin especially Fernado's
It's been a long wait compared to the other models in the series!
@@wixy500 true did not have to wait for McLaren , Ferrari and Mercedes .
Cool 🏎
Maybe you knew it but you could have recognized the Mercedes car just by looking at the t cam 😅
True, or even just looking at the race number! I clearly was not paying attention lol
J’aime rais avoir toute les voitures de F1 😅😅
thats insane… here in the us the “base” versions are only 8-10$
That's such good value! Subsequent to this video, some of the base versions are now available here in Oz for $19 AUS
Thanks for sharing, my filters are filled, gonna buy more but they say u can wash these, is that right?
Depends on the paint you use and how clogged up they are. Why not try washing first, you have nothing to lose if you're planning on replacing them. I replace the front cloth often.
@@wixy500 Yeah will give it a go but also need to get some replacements to quickly switch them out, found aquarium filters locally, will try that.
I always noticed that Burago had difficulty or was lazy in doing details!
Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe 😎😎👍👍🚗🚗
