I guess this will be good news.

https://www.gt4europeanseries.com/news/418/sro-enters-new-partnership-with-acclaimed-motorsport-modeller-spark

The new agreement will see Spark produce authorised models from SRO championships around the world. These include the continental Fanatec GT World Challenge Powered by AWS series, regional competitions such as British GT and Championnat de France FFSA GT, and international events such as the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa.

What’s more, the company will play an important role at the centenary CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa (26-30 June). Not only will Spark host a store within the on-site Fan Zone, but its range will also be expanded with two new collections linked to the Belgian endurance classic.

Firstly, a limited series of 24 models will be launched and sold at the event to celebrate the 100th anniversary. Secondly, a new permanent collection will honour every winning car since 1924. Featuring special CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa packaging, this range is currently under development.

My new CMC Ferrari 250 GTO Chassis Number 3869GT. It has great detail with plenty of functioning parts however I didn't open the front hood because I am doubtful I can put the leather straps back on the way they came. Anyways, would highly recommend CMC for 1/18 scale model cars. At the bottom is my older 250GT California (Not from CMC).

I just finished building my first scale model. It's a Fujimi 1/24th scale Daihatsu Midget II that I bought to celebrate getting one irl.

Very first time doing anything like this, so the model/paint quality is crummy... forgive me!

I need this 499p, right now! (and the Porsche, the BMW and 296 Ferrari to be fair)

Not that I am encouraging people - but Otto has a great deal on at the moment. 3 for the price of 2!

Grabbed a few 1/43 M-Sport Mk8 Fiesta WRCs. The two Sparks are test cars from 2017 (blue camo) and 2018 (Redbull). The IXO is a 2021 car, the very last of the Fiesta WRCs before the M-Sport Puma Rally1 took its place.

And a fancy photo of a 1/18 Porsche 3.2 Targa from Minichamps

As always pretty impressed by the collection you guys have 😍 I was lucky enough to be invited to the Indy GP in May by friends, so I’ve picked up a little souvenir at the track after seeing the real thing at the airport.

1/64 does appeal to me quite a bit. Though I’m NOT starting a collection! Anyway that’s what I tell myself 😉

At your local Sam's Club.... Christmas season shipments already arrived even before July starting

A friend of me sent me these photos during his shopping, so I Told him to get for me the:
1) GT40 in that "Gulf" color skim
2) The tuned 350z and
3) the 1967 Camaro convertible


I am still Looking for the C8 Z06 or ZR1 if ever...

Just arrived today:

Another dump of various GT Spirit 911s in my collection. Really time consuming to take them out for pictures, but I want to try to get a picture of all of my models.

If nothing else it's worth doing if you decide to insure them - without photos it's hard to explain to an insurance company which melted blob of charred metal was what, should the worst happen.

I wasn't thinking about insuring them until the image of "melted blob of charred metal" was in my head

I have a whole excel listing of all my 900 1/43 with date of purchase, model shop; price etc; mostly for me but also for insurance purpose, and I chose my insurance « bracket » value accordingly.

I wish I had the forethought to do this when I started collecting, but at the time I wasn't really expecting to get very many models and most of that information is lost. I do have insurance but I will need to read the fine print for coverage and see what I need to do to add a collection.

Also, wow 900 models!

 

[SPhilli911]

My latest adds: 1/43 2015 Ford Fiesta RS WRC from Spark (white one) and 1/43 2016 Fiesta RS WRC from IXO (blue one). These were both super hard to find and I got lucky to get them both for reasonable prices.

1/18 Porsche 911 (993) Targa from GT Spirit. Really love the color on this one, it's very 90s with the teal paint and white interior.

@SPhilli911 Very nice and congratulations! „Hard to find“ and „reasonably priced“ not always go together 👍
