Cararama is a diecast model car manufacturer owned by Hongwell, a Hong Kong car maker. They have made a few models of Formula one- like cars which are not valued highly in comparison to other car makers, as the design is rather rough. They also didnt have the rights to put original advertisement, although some of the liveries are painted exaclty as the real F1 cars.
Cars are in a bt strange 1/50 scale, which is quite rare for F1 cars, so they are a bit bigger than other models in my collection. They however run pretty well, especially after a small "adjustments" which I have made to the front wings, which used to scratch the surface when the car was moving.
In my collection there are 6 Cararama models:

Bburago Red Bull chassis
Bburago is an Italian model car manufacturer, focusing mailny on 1/18 or 1/24 scales. They have however recenlty issued a F1 car in 1/64 scale and it happened to be the Red Bull RB10 from 2014 (I think I saw someone posting this one earlier on Planet Diecast as well)
The model looks great – visually it’s one of the best I have seen. Thanks to big amount of details, the livery looks just like the original one. The car has also rubber tyres, just like SIKU cars do, which is quite rare. But the problem is that the car is slow!!! It is very light, so does not build up speed going down the ramp and the wheels dont roll too well, as if a handbreak was on all the time. What a shame, cause otherwise it would have been a gem.
