I found it through a Japanese website though, and Google doesn't seem to recognize it. I just get McLaren F1s instead.

I'll keep on searching though.

[bondy_1625]

For that price, good luck! Although damn, it is a fine model. Awesome colour.

The 1:12 F1 GT model is hand built from resin using the standard Minichamps F1 as a base. I remember reading about it on the AF.com F1 forums.

Minichamps are also re-releasing the 1:12 F1 soon. I'll definitely be getting one.

Hmm, at least it follows the way the real GT did.
Definately going to need to find both.

EDIT* Yep, Minichamps still has it listed under Cars coming in 2006. This is good to hear given now I know it's not an old model that's worth a lot more than it is new. I'm hoping they price it at around $500-$600 or much lower.

hey, a quick question: can anyone reccomend a decent/good value model shop (online) that sells 1:18's? im really struggling at the minute for a decent online store to order from

 

[Sakiale]

By 1:18s you mean more like Maistos or Exotos?

 

[Alex.]

just a general 1:18 UK site that sells 1:18 race/road cars, with a mix of maisto/hotwheels/buragos and exotos/autoarts etc.

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

which models are you looking for exactly,i know one where you can get autoart srt-10 vipers,s2000's,monaro's,79's esprits,evo7's,mr2's and imprezas for around £20,the rest are like £40+

 

[Alex.]

sounds good-what's the site?

 

[bondy_1625]

I went looking for some more model resources today, and found a gift shop.
Only one decent model car on offer, a white autoArt Impreza wagon.
It was less expensive than a maisto Vw beetle at just £9.95!
So i saved it, and now i think im gonna sell it on for a profit.

http://www.modelenium.co.uk/models/models.aspx?M=AutoArt&C=Cars%201:18&T=&SC=AUTOart+Special+Offer+Items

if you order it they will send you an email saying that its out of stock but they arent really,they just send the models by second class postage so it takes around a week or so

 

[Alex.]

thanks alot holden, looks like a decent site! 👍

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

dust your models before taking pics Daan please!

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

dust your models before taking pics Daan please!

you think thats bad you should see my fabia

 

[daan]

And I've only had it a week and a bit...

 

[bondy_1625]

Im not saying you should moniter it day and night to eliminate any trace of dust that appears, a lot of my models end up covered in dust, my most loved end up in the cabinet though.
Just when its time to take pics of a model, they look so much better without a smattering of dust y'know!
Im dusting up some of my older unwanted models and re-boxing as many as i can, i'll be selling some on ebay soon.
Some have lost thier boxes unfortunately.
Among those im selling are;

Silver UT Escort WRC
White Maisto Ford GT90
Yellow metallic Maisto Lamborghini Murcie
White Maisto Lamborghini Diablo SV
Yellow UT Ferrari F355 Spider ( no box )
Black UT Mclaren F1 GTR longtail, road version ( No box, superglue mishap )
Silver Minichamps M3 GTR Road car ( mint )
More, subject to how many boxes i find

If anyone has any MIB muscle cars ( ertl, Yat ming, Hwy 61, Lane, GMP, all appreciated ) and would like a straight trade, let me know by PM

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

dibs on the F1!!!!

why not sell the e30 m3 *hint hint*

 

[Arkangel]

I'd buy the Silver M3 from you as well as the F1, but Holden called it first. :shakes fist:

nope, the E30 stays as part of the classics collection, i wanna get the E21 M5 and the M635csi by autoart to compliment it.
The F1 will go up for auction when ive figured out how to send packages and when i have time, i'll point you towards the auction if you like, i should imagine starting price will be around £10gbp, since it was £25 new i think thats fair, no box, slight damage.
I have 5 boxed and ready to go, though i cant find the 4 base plasic hubs for the M3 GTR atm :\ im sure they're here somewhere.

I had the problem of all my models having no packing straps, which i know add slightly to value as it'll arrive undamaged.
To remedy that i cut up a tough Matalan plastic bag and used sticky tape.
Works wonders and looks the real deal too

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

dont worry i dont think im the only one after the f1

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

postage special delivery via royal mail was £12.99 when i was sending my slr back to germany,when i sent it normally it was around £8 non insured,that might give you a rough idea on postage

 

[Alex.]

is it the BBR enzo? or hotwheels?

You got competition for the M3 also. lol
