That Mazda looks familiar....

Thanks for the tip, I'm planning to glue the spoiler as well during next week!
hehe, but mine will have the stealth 787B as companionThat Mazda looks familiar....
I also got the Bentley EXP 8 by Autoart, the previous owner probably left the poor package direct at the sun, the white Autoart logo looks yellow, thank god the car is in perfect conditions...
Next step...EXOTO, Sauber C9 #61, grey or black/blue, depending on the auction...tomorrow I have to choose

I really wish I got the #18 787B, the white and blue one, to go with my #55. Maybe AA will do another run of the #18 someday.
And I would kill for a Exoto Sauber C9 myself...

Last C9 I saw on ebay was going for 350€, I hope to grab one for less in order to get one step further my Le Mans 1:18 collection...
Currently have:
Mazda 787B Stealth Model #1 (AutoArt)
Mazda MX-R01 #6 (Spark)
Toyota GT One #1 (AutoArt)
Ferrari 333SP #11 (HotWheels Elite)
Peugeot 905 #1 (Norev)
Porsche 956l #3 (Minichamps)
Bentley EXP Speed 8 #8 (AutoArt)
Peugeot 908 #7 (Minichamps)
BMW V12 LMR #15 (Kyosho)
Luckly enough Mercedes Sauber C9 and Lancia LC2 (if I find one) soon...

Totally agree with you and that's why it's kinda hard to choose just one of the holy trinity made by exoto (XJR-9,C9,R89CP).
The only Nissan I want is the R92CP and I just can't find the FrontiArt 1:18, the C9 is good in every livery, I prefer the black/blue but silver is good too and it's more iconic, the only XJR-9 I would buy it's the #2 Silk Cut livery, boom, €450+...white/green Castrol is too sad for me.
I'm just waiting for the auction to end as there are 2 available grey #61 C9 and the STUNNING black/blue #61 in buy now/make an offer...
Despite being a fan of Audi cars I kinda aborted the mission on the R10/R18 made by Spark.
The C9 is the only thing I want now. The question is grey or blue/black???

Ignition was supposed to make some LeMans (including the R92CP) in 1/18 but it seems like that never happened. I would've liked to see that one.
Ignition is also dishing these out some time in April:
then there is this, I kinda like and don't like:
Dig the colours, not the "AUTOART" logo everywhere.

1:18 AUTOart BAC Mono
Don't know how legit of an e-mail it was, but BAC's senior designer complimented this set saying it looked better than Autoart's official photos, and wanted permission to use them.
Responded and got no reply, so I don't know what's up. Maybe his inbox is loaded with messages? Maybe I should follow up?
P.S. Pics get real big when clicked.

Looks like I'll be heading to California on February 11th. Wondering if anyone knows of any good diecast shops in the San Jose/Sacramento area.

That Countach looks incredible, you can't quite gauge how clean and unique its desing was until seeing one in either scale model form or in real-life. What scale model brand made yours, @CLowndes888? And as a matter of fact, who made that Mazda RX-7? Its badge almost looks like what Oversteer makes for their 1/64 models...

Minichamps for the Countach, Kyosho for the RX-7
The Countach was too beautiful to ignore in my local model car shop, so I bought it. A deal made even sweeter by the price.

Is the Countach part of the Saint Agata Museum collection by any chance? Since it comes in yellow (the most beautiful color for most Lamborghinis), and it seemed to be expensive (before you managed to get a price cut for it, that is), maybe it has some sort of special status to go along with the car...

So some of us are aware of Otto's quality control. The Quatto has made its way home and here's the damage:
That's it. Two corners with decals folded up. Not bad. A bit of paint can easily fix this. Only problem is matching the damn colour. It's not black by the way.
First grabs for 2016:

If helps you to feel better, the Exoto guy is completely dead after I left the feedback the day I've payed him (Feb the 1st)...his eBay store is quite big and he still has a lot of stuff to sell so I should not worry too much but...

The [911] obsession continues! First new car of 2016 is a Minichamps GT2 RS. Also ordered 3 other 911s, but I'll worry about those later. 
Edit: Bonus picture, because I finally got around to taking pics of the GT Spirit GT2:
