🏎️ Bburago 1:43 Ferrari SF24 F1 Diecast Model – 2024 Season (Leclerc/Sainz)
I’ve been collecting diecast Formula 1 cars for years now, so when I saw the 2024 SF24 1:43 Ferrari models on AliExpress, I couldn’t resist. I picked up both Leclerc and Sainz versions, hoping they’d live up to the hype. Let’s just say—they exceeded my expectations.
Why I bought it: As an F1 fan, especially of Ferrari, I wanted to get my hands on the newest SF24 model early in the season. The official stores are often overpriced, so I looked to AliExpress.
First impressions: The packaging was secure, bubble-wrapped in a branded Bburago box. The paint job is surprisingly detailed, with clear sponsor decals and accurate aero shaping for a 1:43 scale. The wheels roll freely, and the miniature halo is impressively replicated.
Pros:
-
Great detailing for a 1:43 model
-
Arrived in under 2 weeks
-
Officially licensed Bburago quality
-
Budget-friendly for collectors
Cons: – Some slight overspray on one of the Sainz models – The base stand is a bit flimsy
Price comparison: I’ve seen similar models in US specialty stores for $25–$30. I paid around $10–$12 each on AliExpress. A no-brainer for me.
Did it meet expectations? Definitely. For the price, it feels like I’m getting something you’d pay double for stateside.
US $24.97

🏁 Bburago 1:24 Ferrari SF23 F1 Car Model – 2023 Season
This 1:24 version of the SF23 was my splurge buy. Bigger, more detailed, and a centerpiece for my shelf.
Why I bought it: I already had a 1:43, so I wanted a centerpiece scale model. The SF23 is iconic, and Leclerc’s version just looks great in red with yellow accents.
First impressions: Out of the box, I was impressed. The cockpit detail is exceptional, the paint is vibrant, and it actually feels hefty in hand. There’s enough realism here to make it feel like a collector’s item, not just a toy.
Pros:
-
High realism and weight
-
Very clean decal work
-
Excellent shelf presence
Cons: – Slightly loose rear wing (had to reinforce with glue) – Took 3 weeks to arrive
Price comparison: I’ve seen similar 1:24 Bburago models at $40–$50 in the US. Got this one for under $25. Amazing deal.
Did it meet expectations? Absolutely. Even with the small flaw, it’s now the crown jewel of my F1 collection.

✅ Overall Impression
Honestly, I wasn’t expecting AliExpress to deliver this much quality, especially across eight separate items. The prices were unbeatable, the packaging was better than expected, and most items arrived in 10–18 days. Aside from some minor quirks (slight sizing issues, slower shipping on one item), everything either met or exceeded my expectations.
If you’re into F1, especially Ferrari merch, these are solid buys for fans who want to collect or rep their team without blowing a ton of cash. I’d definitely recommend these products to fellow fans and collectors. Already eyeing a few more models and maybe a hoodie next.
US $15.38
