About the Ferrari 348tb Dark Blue Metallic Bburago 1:18

TL;DR: Bburago's 1:18 diecast Ferrari 348tb wears dark blue metallic, a genuine departure from the Rosso Corsa most Ferrari collectors expect. The mid-engined V8 shape from 1989 reads differently in this colour, making it a useful contrast piece on a red-heavy Ferrari shelf.

Blue on a Ferrari always draws a second look, and this 348tb uses that surprise to stand out from the usual sea of red.

A Metallic Finish That Rewards Direct Light

Dark blue metallic paint shows its flake most clearly under direct lighting, and this is where Bburago's finish earns real credit, holding consistent depth across the 348's flat rear deck and angular wedge nose rather than looking patchy. The diecast body carries honest weight, and the "tb", short for trasversale berlinetta, refers to the transverse-mounted gearbox layout behind the V8, a mechanical detail the model's proportions hint at through its wide rear haunches. Panel gaps run at the entry to mid-tier tolerance typical of Bburago, wider than resin alternatives but consistent enough not to distract. At 1:18, roughly 20 to 22 centimetres long, the 348's compact, angular stance is distinctly different from the smoother curves of later Ferrari V8 generations.

The 348 Within Ferrari's V8 Lineage

The 348tb arrived in 1989 as the successor to the 328, carrying Ferrari's mid-engined V8 formula forward with a more angular, 1980s-influenced design language before the F355 smoothed those edges away. This dark blue example works well paired against a red 348 or another period V8 Ferrari, letting the colour do the differentiating work while the shared silhouette ties the pair together. For a collector tracking Ferrari's V8 evolution decade by decade, an unusual colour like this adds genuine variety without needing a different casting.
