My Senna McLarens arrived today (super quick). Here some quick pictures I took. I basically paid what the MP4/4 and MP4/5B go for on ebay for all 3 together.
The one with the Williams to the right is the MP4/4 from '88, the year McLaren won 15 of 16 races and Senna got many poles and Senna also won the championship. The two ones that are together, one to the left is MP4/5B from '90, Senna's 2nd championship, the year in which he took out Prost at Suzuka to beat him in points (they both DNFd). The one to the right, is the MP4/8 from '93. That year was Senna's last full season and also his last McLaren ride. It is also the car he did that Donington GP in, one of the greatest showings of skill in F1 of all time, going from 6th to 1st in the first lap on rain and eventually winning the race.

fell in love with this model first time a seen this at the edinburgh show last year.my all time favourite plane,it is beautiful.the plane was made entirely of wood as there was a lack of aluminium(which is what most of the planes were made of at the time)hence was nicknamed "The Wooden Wonder" or "The Timber Terror".it was also the fastest plane at the time reaching 415 mph at 28,000 ft running 2 supercharged merlin V12's producing 1710bhp each,it was also the first plane to bomb berlin during world war 2 and also made Hermann Göring envious 
the model is made of diecast,the bomb carrier is also made of metal as well as the stand due to how much the model weighs!

nice, Andrew.
as I said above It's my birthday on monday so after I've reviewed the model situation I'll be moving onto a tstrict theme, probably a single manufacturer for a while. does anyone have any nominations of which i can get many models priced upto £60?
I was thinking Porsche.

I'm not sure what McLaren GT 1/12 you guys are talking about. I've seen some MacF1 LM 1/12 on ebay which is a custom resin made by some guy, and there may well be some special transkit to make the MC one into a GT or something like that.
I know MC is releasing a silver MacF1 roadcar soon in 1/12. I've had a preorder for one for like 6 months now.

Ugh. that thing looks like a monster. And I mean that in a bad way. Quite possibly the ugliest McLaren F1 I've ever seen.

I sort of agree, and yet i'd still drive it in a heart beat.

A little update on the problem with the carousel 1 car.
yesterday sent the seller this:
Right, can we please get this all sorted out now, im getting tired of sending all these emails.
Basically this has been a bad experience for me and im starting to wish i'd never bothered in the first place.
If i send the #57 back to you will you please refund my money in full, i dont want to have to report a bad experience like this to ebay but if this carries on im going to have no choice.
Im an honest guy and i try my hardest to make everything go smoothly when im selling things, ive done people deals and lost out on profit before just because i wouldnt go back on my word when i said 'its going to cost this much' Id expect no less from others.
So please refund the full amount to my account (dont worry about exchange rate changes, just €195 will do me fine.) and as soon as i recieve the refund i will pack and send the car back to you.
Regards

Sorry – but i have send the right car --- really .
I see now reason why I refund money --- you have the marchendise and I have the money
Just this minute sent this:
then how do you explain the fact that i dont have the right car, ive shown you pictures of the boxes and thier contents, pictures of the #57 1972 sebring car, how do you explain that?!
The car i paid for is not the car i got, that is why i want a refund.
Do you want me to show you again for the third time the pictures that i took with my cameraphone? Do you really want me to report this to ebay? i dont like doing it but if you're going to try fob me off by sending a different car then thats what i'll do.
please dont make this any more difficult than it has to be. Im not prepared to spend that sort of money on something i dont want.

Reporting it too ebay could help you out, although not likely. If you paid by credit card I would report it to the fraud department and they will most likely help you out.
