David Pyro did a 1/25 GT6 coupe kit but it needs a lot of work especially around the front windshield and the wheels are useless. Never noticed the driving lights under the bumper before.

I haveone of the spits and it looks pretty nice Do you mean the 1:24 Supermarine Spitfire aircraft ?, Lesley....... as far as I am aware, Airfix did not release a Triumph Spitfire model car in 1:24 scale..... I would like to be proved wrong, of course. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglia105E Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 The GT6 is different in many ways, Gary...... so it is not really a coupe version of the Spitfire soft top / hard top. I agree that the driving lights under the bumper were probably not correct. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anglia105E Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Sorry, Gary...... I wasn't being critical, and I hope it didn't sound like I was. I am agreeing with you that the Pyro GT6 would need a fair amount of work to convert it into a Spitfire. ( my post was about two diecast models, for the topic ' What diecast did you get today? '...... not sure how I got onto 1:24 scale plastic ? ) Oops. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randyc Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Cool. Looks like the Hasegawa I built several years ago. Mine was a brighter blue though. I think I sold it. Or it may show back up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fender-mounted mirrors bother me more, but not enough to not buy it if Walmart has it for $20. Cheap, easy way to get a Z-car on the shelf.

Anglia105E Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Picked up this nice 1:43 diecast model car from Ebay, which is a 1950 Jaguar MK V by Neo in brown. The car is LHD with US registration plates I think, also white wall tyres and an open sun roof. This is a very realistic looking model, so ideal for my photography, and it is quite rare to find.

Gramps46 Posted September 3, 2019 Author Share Posted September 3, 2019 With the recent talk of Anglia's I could not resist ordering this JADA 1/24, especially since a college friend had one just like this one. I used to stand on the rear bumper and jump up and down to get out of the snow in the parking lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JADA also has a Camaro that looks kind of interesting. Even has stock looking wheels. Yes, guilty as charged. I was a magazine contributor back in the '80s & '90s. And yes, I will add the 911 Cabriolets to the 911 thread. Thanks for your interest Randy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something funky about it - maybe the quarters and rockers hang too low? A JADA thing? But a good start if you need a diecast instead of a plastic.

Thanks, Randy...... it is certainly a nice looking model motor car, and the main reason that it appears to be larger than 1:43 scale is the close-up photography, which when combined with a realistic diorama setting provides a convincing illusion of size and scale.

I very nearly ordered one! Might have been the price that stopped me..... I seem to remember it being a bit high? David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
