I've seen them all at one time or another on the stages! We had an Audi promotions guy live near us when the original Audi Quattro was released, and he bought one home. I went out to have a look and offered me a drive, what a rocket ship it was! Edited February 2, 2020 by Julien DONT quaote all the pics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rs2man Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Picked up a couple of half-price bargains from Creative Models "damaged boxes" section - the 1/43 Heller Citroen 2CV and the 1/24 Revell Golf GTI Mk 1 gift set with the ever so stylish Pirelli alloy wheels . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davecov Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Some of my latest purchases. The ancient (and crap) Airfix Aston Martin DB5, the Airfix Monty's Humber and the Tamiya SAS Land Rover: My late father left me some money so I am buying as many of the car kits that I remember him making when I was a nipper. Here are the first arrivals: I have other Airfix cars coming including the Lotus Cortina and the Sunbeam Rapier. Dave 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davecov Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 My latest purchases from various sources. Airfix Morris Mini Minor, Airfix 1/32 Lotus Cortina, Airfix 1/32 Sunbeam Rapier and Airfix 1/16 Honda CB450: Airfix 1/32 Dennis Fire Engine, MPC 1/32 Mercedes 280 SL, Airfix 1/32 1930 4.5 Litre Bentley, Airfix 1/32 1904 Mercedes and Airfix 1/16 Ariel Arrow: Airfix 1/32 MGB, Airfix 1/32 Triumph Herald and Airfix 1/32 Triumph TR4A: All part of my aim to own every Airfix (or MPC boxing) 1/32 car and all Airfix 1/16 motorbikes - and make them all!

Dave Wow that sounds like a plan. How many kits are we talking about? A quick search of scalemates gives me 190 1/32 Airfix cars and 15 motorcycles 🙂 ... but there are multiple entries per car, so it's less than that but still impressive. You'll have your work cut out for you there, good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davecov Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 According to our list on the ATF, https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/airfixtributeforum/cars-and-bikes-t1676.html there are actually 61 Airfix 1/32 cars/vehicles and only 4 1/16 motorbikes. I have made or stashed 20 of the cars so far and have all 4 motorbikes. Dave 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never knew that MPC reboxed the Mercedes 280SL. One of my favourite cars. I have a figure from (I think) the beach buggy somewhere. And a couple of the newer issues of the Porsche 917. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davecov Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 The Porsche 917 has always been my favourite Airfix 1/32 car and I built one of those in 2007: I wouldn't mind building another.....one day! Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it a shame that Heller didn’t follow up their full range of Saab aircraft with some of the cars Maybe I’m a biased Saab nut but who wouldn’t want a 99 Turbo or 95 V4 estate? I’ll sign off with my recent acquisitions 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still itching for Belkits to release their promised RS200 and 6R4 kits which will be straight in my rally stash! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
