ppro,

I have both the Maisto and Bburago. They are the same exact castings but do have a few suttle differences. The Maisto was produced for US markets and the Bburago was produced for European markets I am told. I know some Bburagos made it here.

The two red coupes I have are slightly different color red. The Bburago looks more red than the real one. The Maisto has a heavy metallic in the paint - too much. The Bburago has silver colored wheels where as the Maisto has chrome wheels.

The Bburago is made in Italy, the Maisto is made in Thailand.

I just recently purchased the Bburago from Europe so I have no pics to show the comparisons.

Here is the 1:18 Maisto I have:





Then my co-worker added the difussers and I printed a tag for it.



I also own the Motormax Brand 1:18, not worth photographing...

James
