I was wondering if you guys could help me?
Ive seen an 2006 Audi A4 DTM on GT models http://www.gtmodels.com/products.php?id=2449 and want to buy it but im not sure whether to get it because....
there isn't much info on it and judging by the photo's it's not very detailed.

its a 1/43

 

[Alex.]

I thought he would have realised that already

yes it is a 1:43

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

I thought he would have realised that already

if he wants to give me £50 for a 1/43 i will be more than happy!

 

[Alex.]

understandably

And it because of something small that will eventually get bigger and taller as time goes by, if you see what I mean.

You bought a tree? Seriously, fertilizer and water aren't that expersive.

 

[Turbo Lag]

I will probably be getting a 1:43 today, im think i might buy the Biante Commodore

 

[Alex.]

If my two Items on Ebay sell at all, I'll be purchasing a senna 1:18 sometime next week.
edit: My zakspeed porsche has already had a bid with still 5.5 days remaining. The Bugatti I'm not expecting much from.

Can anyone recommend me any polish that you can use on 1:18th cars? I usually use dust wipes but I would love to give some of my cars a bit of a polish some time.

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

For whoever is interested, there is a Skyline Gran Turismo 1:18 on ebay for only $65 in Canada. This is a hard to find model nowadays.

 

[NISM0_SKYLINE]

Here's a dozen pictures I took very recently.

First up is the BMW M3 GTR in silver by Kyosho. I bought this model to replace the Minichamps M3 GTR (red) that I sold a while ago. I wasn't satisfied with the red colour of that model anymore, I like this silver a lot more. Also this one doesn't have those front light stubs, it has a "street" interior and it has different rims, I think it has the M3 CSL rims, not sure, but I like them much more than the rims the Minichamps model has. Overall good Kyosho quality we are accustomed to. Good looking dash and central console. Well detailed engine. Excellent outside finish and nicely textured carbon fibre. The wheels and brake discs also look good. My only annoyance is no ///M3 logo at the back, possible the M3 GTR didn't have one, but that's an annoyance. The Minichamps didn't have one either.





Next up is some pictures of the Ferrari 308 GTS QuattroValvole. I'm not sure if I posted my previous pics here, but this is a re-shoot I did today. This is a good quality model, not as good as the newest Kyosho, but still a "quality" model. It has a nice removable targa top and working pop-up headlights.








Lastly, here are some pictures of my Williams FW15C by Quartzo. This is the 1993 F1 car of Alain Prost. He won the championship that year. This car featured active suspension, ABS and traction control. The Williams was super fast that year, it had the latest aero advancements and the latest tech. Also a reliable Renault engine. This model is superbly detailed. If you want a piece of F1 history, I highly recommend this. It has really nice carbon fibre texture on the wing, nose and engine. The seatbelts and driver figure also extremely well done and the tyres are good too. The engine detailing as well is just incredible, about as good as the AA Mazda 787B I'd say. I've converted the model to "Camel" myself, if any of you have questions regarding that, let me know.

D2 Merc and Cliff Calibra arrived today. First set of quick shots for now. Don't think I'll be taking these out of their boxes too often. Have to pinch myself when I see them, can't believe I finally have the old D2 and Cliff Cali! Incidentally this is my 3rd UT DTM Calibra!

Those look might fine models Sting

 

[Sting]

Cheers,

[Turbo Lag]

Im loving that D2 Merc 👍

Finally I got some pictures of my 1/24 ZL-1:

Sorry for low quality, but in real life it is just gorgeous.
I couldn't take a picture of the engine and interior because they are black and thus would cause a flash (I can't turn it off) and with all the chrome trimming, oof.
EDIT
Stupid me, didn't turn off the flash. In fact I have pictures, but I won't bother posting them because the quality is so low.

 

[F1GTR]

The Merc is sweet man!

 

[Alex.]

Just sold my zakspeed porsche and eb110, looks like with my other money I'll hve a senna diecast on the way by monday.

 

[Sting]

Shouldn't you be saving up for Giles Ferrari's???

 

[Alex.]

You have a very good point, As you may know I've been collecting low level diecasts since I started, (e.g. maisto , burago) which im slowly selling off on ebay. I'm gradually mocing up the market on detail terms. (autoart kyosho). I'll get there eventually sting, I just need:

For my parents to justify spending £196 on a model
The money to do so (probably by getting a job)
somewhere uber safe, but visible to keep it.

Senna is another hero of mine so I'll stick around and get a couple of his cars then see what the situation is.

 

[Turbo Lag]

Isnt that like 400AUD?

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

Isnt that like 400AUD?

pfft thats like nothing.......

 

[Turbo Lag]

Compared to what you have

 

[Alex.]

I have a question

How rare is the Ayrton Senna 1987 Lotus 99T (the yellow one), compared to the mansell taxi, and the Lotus 97T(the black one)?

 

[Sting]

I see more of the taxi's around than the other two.

 

[Alex.]

Thats what I was thinking, and I've only ever seen one yellow lotus 99t on ebay, so i'll go for that.

£46.99 sounds a good price.
