I have a blue version of that one.   They are quite small beside others, which would seem correct to me.  Nice cars.

Another Corvette for a future display. Franklin Mint 1978 25th Anniversary. It's surprisingly heavy.

She's a beaut!   Love the screw detail on the taillights.  Still amazes me that these were mass produced at some point.   THe factory modelers could out do most of us a hundred times a day.

Thanks to a tip from Snake, I was able to get a Welly Mercedes SLS AMG gullwing.  I think it makes a nice companion piece for my 300SLs and I like the white as that was the original Mercedes racing color.

Got these from the bay, yesterday.... 1/64 scale... Too cool... I bought the trailer, mostly, to scale up to 1/24... Another project for the near future... It came with the orange Prostar, but I liked it better on the Mack...

They do look good, together... I'd like to have a couple of those....

That is a great setup, and it's even orange!

So how does the trailer raise in the front so you can load cars on the lower deck?

It doesn't... It's actually open enough to load through the rear... It's all a fixed position, with the exception of the rear ramp that extends... I just ran out of cars to load...? They're coming soon, though...

Every once in a while, a hunch pays off... Found this at Walmart!

Jada is something else with their scaling... If it is 1/24, it would be 8 scale feet wide from mirror to mirror... Here it is with an old 1/25 scale Monogram I built years ago... This car is probably 1/23 scale, as opposed to 1/24...

Dang that Savoy is NICE!  If they took the time with wheels like AW or JL does, this would be really first class.  I've given up on finding ANYTHING local.   And online ordering ends up with a big investment in a $1 car if you don't order a bunch to help with shipping.   BUt that really does look nice.

Picked up a 2020 GT500 recently and the scale is way off just like your Mustang.

Sadly JADA rarely gets the scaling right. Neat model nonetheless. I also don't understand why they make most of their models look cartoonish. That's not really appealing except to little kids but not to serious collectors, but maybe that's who they shoot for.

Yep... And I saw a couple of Mustang GT 500's at Hobby Lobby, today... I just couldn't pull the trigger on them... They were just too big... Nice paint schemes, but the wheels were a bit "cartoonish" as you pointed out... Just couldn't do it... Glad I got a chance to look at them up close, though...

I agree JT, I've seen a lot of them at our Hobby Lobby as well. Here are a few that they did actually do a pretty good job on.

Those ALL look good... It's amazing with Jada... They're either hit or miss with a lot of their models... Oddly, even with their popularity, I only own, maybe two or three of the Fast and Furious series.... They have quite a few, too... To be honest, I really like the Ford F-150 Lightning the most.... That one is pretty good!!!!
