Red cars just photograph so well. The Ferrari 333SP produced by HotWheels is at this time the only model of the car produced in 1/18th scale. The example above is from their standard line of diecasts, and is unlivered. The model looks nice, but lacks detail, especially in the engine bay. The way I see it, HotWheels may as well have made this model a sealed curbside. The plastics and rubbers used on this model are also not that great - giving a very plastic look to the model.
As a kid I had seen the 333SP racing along side other GTP cars. To be honest, watching motorsports live is not that exciting if you are standing trackside...basically there is nothing going on for 5 minutes or so, and then for a minute or two a bunch of cars fly by. None the less, seeing this car in person, racing, has left fond memories. When I watched this car race, it was in the MOMO livery. I hope to find decals to convert this model into the sponsored car that I saw as a kid.
