  1. Good-looking street rod, Mario ! How is your experience with Tamiya colors (I just bought myself 9 cans)?
  2. Though the car itself is not to my taste, the model you created looks fabulous again, Mario - superb paint job!
  3. I cannot see any flaws here - this is an absolutely perfect model built in a quality that many of us will never achieve (at least me!) - at first glance, I thought that I was looking at the real thing.
  4. Very well build of this legendary Ferrari - these Gunze high-tech models can be very hard to get right with their white metal, vinyl and delicate photo-etch parts !
  5. excellent looking beetle - has that "Cal look" vibe.
  6. A fantastic kit turned into a fantastic model - bravo !
  7. I got it for € 22,90 + 6,00 postage via ebay from Slovakia (= neighbour country - hence the low shipping cost) - a steal !
  8. That's why I avoided that one.
  9. Gary, you certainly will find a way to let it look less toylike - let us know what you will do. By the way, Welly has a surprisingly well done split-window:
  10. Fresh from the postman: Opel Manta GT/E (1st series) - from the German Hachette Opel collection = 1/24
  11. A very fine racing car from you, Pierre - Ken Miles would be proud !
  12. ... and my first heroes from 1970: Stig Blomqvist, Jean-Luc Thérier etc. but I meant the Escort drivers
  13. Don't think so - F 1 started in 1950 (world championship).
  14. Keyser - I know that video (from ca. 1979) - don't forget Ari Vatanen (1980 champion), Roger Clark, Timo Mäkinen etc.
  15. Thanks, Gary - the best thing is: you don't have to buy some aftermarket sponsor decals - the tobacco markings are all there (the Hachette WRC collection - also from Ixo - does NOT have them)
  16. Got this IXO Ford Escort Mk II RS 1800 for my rally collection:
  17. Thanks, Gary and Keyser - it is certainly one of the highlights among my 1/24 die-casts.
  18. Nice model, Gary - though the grille looks to be printed black on to the nose - unfortunately it seems not to be available in Europe. Ebay shows only American sellers - but price and shipping would be about 50 to 60 € + customs and taxes which would sum up to 80 € .
  19. Very impressive model, Tim - the combination of the AMC muscle car with Penske's racing perfection created an awesome Trans_Am racer.
  20. Very nice model with excellent details !
  21. Hi, Snake - glad to see you back on track (was missing you somehow)
  22. One of the classic British car icons, and world-wide known as the James Bond car - a very nice model from Danbury Mint in original Dubonnet red, a deep metallic red. Highly detailed, even for today's standards (it is from the 80/90's ?). Everything opens, even the very delicate looking fuel caps in the c-pillars, though I admit I haven't tried to open them for I don't want to break them. There is also a sunken radio antenna, some photoetched emblems, and the seats are covered with what looks like real leather - the weakest point is the heavy looking wire wheels, but anyway - a heavy and valuable model. I'm not sure if this has been posted long ago, but anyway - enjoy the pictures:
  23. Gary, they are on ebay in white, silver and yellow and were also available in a limited "Porsche Museum" edition in dark green metallic, champagne gold metallic, raspberry (?) red and in this kind of lime green.
  24. That's a super deal !
