GTPlanet Scale model thread

[Roo]

Speaking of Senna and taxis, that leads nicely into my quintet of purchases from Goodwood last weekend:



#2 and #3 Toyota GT-ONEs (£50 each), Nissan Skyline JGTC Test Car (£40), Senna's 94 Williams (£45) and a London taxi (£10). No bargins, but I reckon with postage I would've paid a similar amount if ordered, so whatever.

Edit: More pictures.

just purchased a Mclaren MP4/5b -Ayrton Senna World Champion 1990

EDIT:
Been after this for a couple of months, I'm not a big spender no models so I was waiting for a good price. Here it is:






it's back in the box and waiting for a display case / cabinet now

Sorry if it's off-topic, but do you assemble these cars or are they pre-built?

(I may have the wrong forum!)

Awesome model, by the way!

pre build but with some of stings you have to put the rear spoilers together.

Good find GV. Enjoy the model. I have the same one myself. 👍

 

[Alex.]

I think it was your photos on DH that I used for the decision of whether to buy it or not

I need opinions on the Mclaren M23 of Jochen Mass by minichamps, i can get it relatively cheap!

Just out of curiosity, wasn't Jochen Rindt killed before the McLaren M23 existed in racing conditions? He died in 1970; the McLaren M23 was introduced for the 1973 season, driven by Emerson Fittipaldi and Peter Revson.

Has anyone here heard about a 1/43 car model maker SAPI and or EBBRO SAPI?
If so is comparable to Bburago or is it more like AutoArt or better

Appreciate your feedback!

AMG.

 

[F1GTR]

EBBRO are pretty good IMO, more like AutoArt.

 

[Sting]

Got 4 of the 5 mentioned today:

Rob, i recently bought an Ebbro Schnizer Celica on Ebay for my growing 1/43rd scale Group 5 collection. Ebbro's are certainly a step above Minichamps or Quartzo when it comes to detail and quality of finish.

 

[Arkangel]

Oh man, Sting. I'm very interested in that F40 you just got. Could you be bothered to post some pictures for me?

Gents, thx very much.👍
Although the colour I want doesnt seem to exist it brings me one step closer to completing the list of model cars that I've owned 1:1 scale and the car I am planning to buy is apparently a rarety in model world. It doesn't exist at 1:18. The Ebbro price is approx GBP 35 so it sounds like a fair enough price for a 1:43.

--------
Here's 1 of 4 metal Pochers I own (scale 1/8). The others are a Testarossa & convertible and a Porsche 911 (plastic).
I hope to get some time after the "Ocho" to take quality pics of my collection and post them here.



-------
I recently discovered Ebay and I'll let you in on a costly mistake.
Some 18 yrs ago I also purchased from Pocher the Rolls Royce Torpedo Cabriolet Phantom II
Approx 5 yrs ago after much deliberation I binned it as I wasnt ever going to complete building it. Similar models are now sold on ebay (half finished) for over GBP 280.
AAARRRGGGHHHH!!!!!

[Roo]

Ya, Sting, you beat me. All I could come up with was the AutoArt No.28 GT-ONE, Norev Peugeot 905, HWElite FXX and 599GTB.

Just the No. 27 to go and then I have all 6 GT-ONEs. Then I'm going to see if I can get a life somewhere.

1:8 F40? Mmm.

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

are you getting 360CS wheels for the 599?

 

[Alex.]

absolutley stunning models guys

not sure where to head for my next purchase, although that F40 looks pretty promising!

 

[Roo]

are you getting 360CS wheels for the 599?

Noooo, why would I want to do that?

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

Noooo, why would I want to do that?

makes the model look 100 times better.

 

[Sting]

Beat you to what Roo? lol

 

[Roo]

makes the model look 100 times better.

Ah. That they do. But no, I'm not going to.

Beat you to what Roo? lol

In the awsomeness stakes 3 DTM cars trumps what I bought, you see.

[/meek]

 

[Sting]

Oh right. YAY!!! I winz0r

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

makes the model look 100 times better.

hmm its also 1 million times harder than what i thought it would be......
