cobraman Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 Danbury Mint . 49 Merc Club Coupe . Another die cast left to me in my BIL estate. Not bad but looks to have a bit of rash (?) on roof and trunk lid . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THarrison351 Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Nice Merc! I had one for a couple of years. Then I ran across a Merc woody wagon that needed love, so it went to eBay. Mine had a bit of rash too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yes. I like this a lot. But I already have the Welly dark blue version. Wait a minute, the Welly is a 1953.

Snake45 Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 Had to order the new AMT '65 GTO from DMW, and as I did so, noticed they were now offering the nice Maisto '65 El Camino in red, so ordered one. Got it today. It is absolutely gorgeous! Will probably be my next Snake-Fu project. I already did a blue one so I know it's a pretty quick and easy job. Just have to decide if I want to replace the stock tires and wheel covers with something cooler--it would be worth the extra effort if I do.

Gramps46 Posted July 10, 2023 Author Share Posted July 10, 2023 I don't have many MOPARs so Geno's Hachette Dodge Charger is a nice addition. The jars? Same era as the models. 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 (edited) 1/24 Motormax VW doublecab pickup. Though there's a glaring error with the bed being made separate from the cab structure, and the side-window offsets are horrendous, the scaling and proportions are spot-on, and match the 1/24 Hasagawa kits almost exactly. The errors are fixable for someone so inclined...which I'll do sometime before 2035, maybe. I had a real one as my daily for many years, and letting it go was one of the stupidest things I've ever done. Anyway, after I got the first Motormax version in my clammy old hands, I liked it so much I bought two more.

Mike C. Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 More muscle! I have the original Ertl issue but this new one from Autoworld is a lot more detailed and the trunk lid opens. Unlike the Toys R Us exclusive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Bburago 1/24 Ferrari Monza SP1. Beautiful model, especially considering the price. There are two versions of this, the one most commonly available in the US does NOT have the opening hood and deck, so pay attention if you want one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather than wade through every US listing, I just bought one direct from China. Took a couple weeks for delivery though. https://www.ebay.com/itm/265079028259 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only remove the blocking elements inside and it works. BUT there is no "engine" and "luggage-box". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
