I finally succumbed and bought the Revell BMW i8

Bought my Litlun a radio control version of the prototype, about 1/12th scale. Considering how cheap it was it's quite an accurate rendition. Tempted to detail it!

I wondered how long this thread would go before re-opening.

Still awaiting a package from Japan with the GTi & CRX.

[MikeGTC 165]

I bought a BMW i8, 2013 Camaro ZL1 and a Mustang GT 500

Failed at not buying kits for a while...

[injidup 299]

Sorry to hear about your failure Mike. Hope you have some more!

I was pleasantly surprised when opening this as it is NOT a kerbside and has a nice V12!

The bad actor I always wanted but never got,while the other one has a twin turbo V8!

Have three of these now...

The bug is a repop of the Lindberg kit and slightly large....

Never had this a sprint car

 My order from kitsforcash.com turned up today and I was plesently surprised as the tamiya porsche 956 Rothmans car I ordered came with a set of speedline decals to make the marlboro car from 1983 which works out really nicely as I have a spare 956 in the stash which I didn't have a plan for

Afternoon Chaps 

 

A bountiful morning...

First up, a swappie...

Swapped a silly Ferrari for this magnificent '64 vintage monogram Jaguar XK-E...

 

Right... onto the main feature.

One of the shops was having a sale of a deceased estate of kits. It had been pretty much picked by the time I got there this morning, but i did manage to pick up 

these lovelies... 

Three white metal lovelies from Motorkits

 

Some more white metal lovelies from Tin Wizard & Auto Replicas

 

A morgan

 

A wee Rover

 

And one I have been looking for for a loooong time... A Maserati 3500GT (still sealed)

 

And then, well!

from 1961, A Hawk W163 1936 Mercedes Racer. One of those kits that when you see it, you just have to have it...

 

Need a lie down now

Fujimi 1:24 Ford GT40 Mk-II - 1966 Le Mans 2nd Place. This is to add to my collection of Bruce McLaren/Chris Amon and Dan Gurney/Jerry Grant models that I already have.

[shood23 1,719]

Just picked one of these up from hiroboy today 

 

 

Never really liked the highly modded cars but this looks really nice

I have just acquired the 1/20 Tamiya Tyrrell P34 with the etch bits, which look like they'll make it into an excellent model out of the box. I had another F1 project in mind (Camel Lotus 102B) but that needs modification so it seemed like a good idea to do something simpler first.

 

I'm also eyeing up the Bimota Tesi after seeing Pappy's build of it, and some on-line pictures of naked bikes. Phwooar etc.

Just bought the Tamiya 1/20 F2001 and F60 F1 cars and also ordered the Fujimi F2007 in 1/20. I'm waiting on the Tamiya 1/12 Yamaha YZR-M1  '04.

[Spad 831]

Ken Miles' 1966 GT40 (well chuffed!), 2005 Raybrig NS-X plus Zero blue/violet and the recent re-pop of the Revell BRE Datsun 240Z. Pretty pleased all round really!

 

Rick, the chuffed!

[arni 469]

This Pinto was a REAL bargain.

The tardis has working lights and sound.

Last time I built this kit (late 80s ) I put the chassis under a Mercedes sec...

The porker is ok.

I have an excuse though - I've lost the top triple tree on the Dax. Will have to cast another from this.

There's some mold flash on some of the pieces but overall I think it looks good for an old kit. Nice rubber tires but the instructions are kind of crap, but it looks like an easy kit to build so it is not a big deal. How everything fits together I have to wait and see until I build it (hopefully soon).

[arni 469]

Thanks for that.

Just picked up a fujimi ferrari f138 for a very good price
