Ace-Garageguy Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 (edited) This hot mess is currently listed on feePay as a "Bburago diecast" model of a Ferrari 250 GTO. Somehow I doubt its authenticity. Several other sellers have this lovely example of the scale-modelmaker's craft available as well, and one can be yours for anywhere from $39.95 to $84.95, depending on how blind and gullible you are. I've reported the name infringement to feePay. Sell all the tin "art" garbage you want, but don't call it by the name of a respected company that actually does make diecast scale models.

I think it's one of those "artistic interpretations, because models don't look right if they're scaled correctly" scenarios we hear so much about. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the issue is at least two of the sellers of this "decorator art" refer to them as made by Bburago, a blatant lie.
