1959scudetto

x 2: perfect harmony between cab and rear wheels, frame and body striping. The trailer looks also much better with 2 than 3 axles (will convert mine someday also from 3 to 2).

Exceptionally well done model of the best-looking Lancer Evo of Tommy Mäkinen's 4 world championship rides.

I guess MPW is for Mulliner Park Ward ?

IIRC, I paid around € 40 for it (without original box or certificate - I don't care about the paperwork - but with a bent antenna, a small paint chip and some damage on the trunk mat/above the spre wheel) Helmut

Thanks, Tim and Gary - the dark red/brown and gold color suits it well, too. Zinc pest is awful - I experienced that with some (forutunately cheap) die-casts that literally fell apart.

Very nice collection of T1 and T2a (Welly?) vans and buses, Gary.

Excellent model - too nice to be used in races.

That is indeed a survivor, Gary, with a certain amount of patina - old VWs offered technical simplicity combined with reliability.

If I ever would win the lottery, this one would be my choice (Alfa Romeo 1750 GTV): pictures from original Alfa Romeo advertising/press phtos: or this one (1969/70 Alfa Romeo GT 1300 junior):

Good looking Mopar, Tony - it has that classic 70's street machine look.

The same here - Yuri this is a fantastic model that looks as real as it gets!

Thanks, Keyser - I've just corrected the title (name was taken over from the Car Model homepage)

Now something unusual (at least for me) but when the opportunity was there, I had to take it (for little money, because of some small issues) - I think it is one of the best detailed Franklin mint models: very big and heavy, highly detailed, but take a look at the photos! Weakest point is the gap around the doors - but hey! 4 opening doors!

Another "quickbuilder" from my modeling past: long gone amt/ERTL kit, but I still have some pictures (from 2008): built in the mid 80's, sprayed with car laquer and clear coated (both from the can), tried painting the window surroundings with semi-gloss black and added a few custom parts - otherwise stock-out-of-the-box:

Slobodan, this is an exceptional build with fantastic details and excellent engine bay - it doesn't get any better. The 635 is certainly one of the most attractive BMWs ever with its aggressive, but at the same time elegant lines.

Super, Harald - bist du deppert, a Wahnsinn ! Fascinating diorama with so many details to discover inside and outside the buildings - and the lighting!!! It would even work without the cars - but these are the icing on the cake !

Beautiful model with excellent paint, Andy - very nice!

Excellent kit-bashing, Stuart - looks so real (could be a farm or junkyard truck)

x 2 - very well done !

Very nice models, when stock cars really looked like stock cars.

Awesome model, Tomasz - looks better than the original!

Good-looking Chaparral 2 - wish we could see that again.

If I could choose just ONE model, then it would be this: my favourite of the "classic" Ferraris:

Thanks, David - very much appreciated.

As they were also available as wheel & tire sets back then, I ordered myself some more sets, but that must have been about 10 years ago, don't know if they are still available: (Fujimi misspelled the name - licensing?) Anyway, they come with excellently detailed, period-correct Michelin XWX rubber: The Daytona (right) has them, whereas the California Spider (left) has the Monogram plastic tires mounted on the Fujimi Borranis.
