Man, that's a good looking car.... Hoping they make some in 1/24 scale.... Picked up one of the orange ones @ Sams Club yesterday for less than $15, they even had the C8 Vette.
Gramps46 Posted September 1, 2020 Author Posted September 1, 2020 1978 BMW M1 by Welly in 1/24th scale.
Gramps46 Posted September 1, 2020 Author Posted September 1, 2020 I could not resist and ordered one just now.

Gramps46 Posted September 1, 2020 Author Posted September 1, 2020 The Isetta will be on a slow boat from China so it will take awhile to come up with a comparison.

I've found these on ebay, too... Good call using that $25 coupon.... Makes it a "no brainer"... I have got to get one of these along with the blue ones.... Edited September 4, 2020 by kilrathy10
kilrathy10 Posted September 4, 2020 Posted September 4, 2020 I just got my 2 orange ones in the mail, today... Again, I immediately got to work on the black rims... Just not into that...

randyc Posted September 4, 2020 Posted September 4, 2020 Here's my diecast birthday haul. More photos of trucks later, in a separate post. The Corvette has been covered, but I am going to try to detail the wheels while I look for an FM 69 Vette for wheels. Also got a spraybooth but no need for a picture of it. Same or similar to HIPguy's.
Geno Posted September 4, 2020 Posted September 4, 2020 You guys snagged me lol, gotta go searching for a GT500 lol. I have a standard 5.0 Gt and love it.

cobraman Posted September 4, 2020 Posted September 4, 2020 Silver wheels look great ! I know they are popular now but I don't care for the all black wheel look. Just one guys opinion .
Snake45 Posted September 4, 2020 Posted September 4, 2020 I was researching yesterday to see if I needed to silver-spoke the wheels on my C8 Vette. Found an article that said they're definitely NOT offered on the C8, it was thought that "chrome" wheels are now an "old man thing" and the "youthful look" is all-black wheels. Not sure I agree.

I started collecting these things about 5 years ago, and I think I've lost my mind... You can get so much stuff on the cheap, it's unreal...After model prices kept soaring, it started to make perfect sense, (dollars and cents, that is), so I started collecting die casts... And with very little work, you can have almost anything you want... So many subjects covered in die cast that just aren't available unassembled... Welcome aboard!!!

I'm with you, Bro... I don't agree with that, at all... Well, there's an aftermarket company out there that will be ALL OVER this issue...

cobraman Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 Nothing special . Just a little HW Cobra I did not have .

I got out the silver Sharpie and now I am much more pleased with my new Corvette but then I am a certified "old man".

That looks great, and I think silver wheels will look even better on my dark metallic blue one! Thanks!
randyc Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 Put me in with the old guys. Silver looks better.
