I'm thinking of starting a collection of die-cast Ferrari models. Is there a manufacturer that makes anything decent in 1/24?

IME 1/24 is more limited than 1/43 or 1/18.

Burago have recently picked up the licensing for Ferrari and are producing models at 1/43, 1/24 and 1/18 as far as I can see. However, their models are not as good as older offerings from Hot Wheels, Minichamps, Kyosho etc.

I'd recommend a trawl of eBay for some samples of different scales and manufacturers and then go from there. 1/43 offers a broader range of choice, 1/18 are typically better detail and display pieces.

You can typically find Hot Wheels Elite models for 10-15 quid for a 1/43 and 35+ for 1/18.
