I just realized that the model has Rothmans decals...but the "racing" decal has been applied over it.
WHY Minichamps???
WHY
The model is porn anyway...my best friend (she loves model cars just like me) suggested I have to date the car instead of a girl, this explains the cup of coffee on the table 
Any chance to have a 1:18 VGT Mazda LM55?
I want to apply to the VGT owner club but I don't collect 1:43 anymore

That's because you're not allowed cigarette advertising on "toys".

I knew that, I was complaining about how stupid this system is, aside of the advertisement (I DON'T EVEN SMOKE
) that's a double waste of decal, first, you can completely avoid the tobacco logo since you are not allowed use it, second you can leave the plain livery,#1 has no "racing" at all...then leave the option to apply the decal or notRothmans is still readable...LOL

Fishy, dude. Personally, I may pass on the deal, or haggle the seller. I would also report this trend with the low feedback account to eBay. Even if eBay don't do much with it, it may at least go on their record.
I once had this crafty flake back out of the bid by outbidding herself using a dummy account(zero feedback, brand new account). Since then, my eBay listings are blocked from any account not linked to PayPal.
You know I buy lot of 1/64s from Japan. Exact opposite. I just wanted to let you know.
I've been spending more, because every time I check out the exchange rates, it's like every TLV has $2, $3 off. Shipping's the same way. Just wanted to let you know.
The master of lighting. You know I love your hot wheels & Kyosho pics, but what you do with 1/18's..... even better? 👍I assumed my Lotus 99Ts couldn't get the copyrights!
If anybody's wondering: 1/18 by Minichamps, 1/64 by Kyosho. 👍

Hmm, nice 500E. Subtle yet sporty, those aren't necessarily poster material, but the model itself seems very accurate and good on the eyes. In the end, if it ticks those boxes, I'd say that's good enough.
Also, is that a yellow, Pennzoil-sponsored Venturi you got between the Lotus Elise GT1 (?) and the Panoz Esperante in the second picture? I don't recall seeing that one before...

Well that Benz works for me because it is more or less a sleeper, and I have a thing for fast sedans that look somewhat normal
And while that Yellow car isn't Pennzoil sponsored, it is indeed a Venturi. I got it last year I think when I went nuts with 1/43's.
Also, soon it will be time for my yearly total pic. Pretty sure this year has been my best year with 1/18 models ever

Hey, ain't disagreeing with that, I'm also a sucker for perfomance sedan Q-cars; comfort + ability to wreck autobahns + understated designs; it's the right combination in my book.
So it's a Spark-made 1:43 Venturi, huh? Nice, never really seen many Venturi scale models, and I wonder if there are road car versions laying around...
And that year will also be the worst year for your wallet!
But yes, just with that smexy AUTOart tuned Hakosuka Skyline, 2015 should be considered as a win in your mind.

Oh yes, 2015 is definitely a win year with my collection lol. Maybe tonight I will take a pic of my current total, just for the lulz

Universal Hobbies, got it for 30€ at my local shop.
The model looks good but despite it says "openable parts" it does not have openable parts

Looking for a non-turbo with this front end.
The only NA ones i have found are some by NZG, but they seem to be rare have not seen any for sale anywhere.

There also 1/43 scale and i have not seen a red one yet.

Suddenly, I am feeling orange... Papaya Orange...
I ended up paying $188 for it after shipping, which is a good amount less than the cheapest AUTOart F1 LM I could find anyway. Though, I did pre-order it like 2 years ago....
Anyway I love it, even though it has a couple inaccuracies, namely the left side intake (which is only present on actual F1 GTR's, not F1 LM's) and the rear tire profile. Interior and engine more than make up for it IMO.

Last time at university I was talking about my model cars with a group of girls (I wasn't expecting such a BIG interest from the opposite sex in this kind of collection...and it's not even the one and only girl I know) and one of them asked how many models I got, he was amazed about my numbers but I told her I knew much much bigger collections and I was thinking about yours!
Here's mine:
50 Ferrari Collection 1:43
40 F1 Collection 1:43
6 F1 1:64 (Minichamps)
4 F1 1:43 (extra models, from TSM to Bburago)
52 Alfa Romeo Collection (uncomplete, stopped time ago) 1:43
6 Ferrari 1:32 Maisto
17 random models 1:43/1:72/1:64
14 Ferrari 1:100 Kyosho
5 F1 around 1:50 Bestbox (metal toys, Formula cars from the '60)
19 1:18 (F1, Le Mans, GT)
3 Ferrari F1 1:24 Bburago
44 Micro Machines racing cars (loose)
9 Hot Wheels in confezione originale
3 Ferrari F1 Bburago 1:24
69 Micro Machines racing cars (in blisterpacks, unopened)
Still have more but I can't count those, some are inside the garage, mostly Bburagos: 1:24/1:43

Nice
I have roughly 191 1/18 models, and another 84+ 1/43's. Still need to finish adding all my 1/43's to the database program I have, which I found on Diecast Xchange forums. I also have a handful of 1/64 and 1/87 scale models, along with other types of non-automotive models.
This year alone I got 32 1/18's and I think 13 1/43's so far.
