Pictures in a few days. I have a quite a few diecasts and R/C cars my fastest is my RC18B which is 1/18 scale and according to my little GPS thing I have in the little car I've had it up to 91MPH before I spun into a curb and almost obliterated the back end of it (all fixed now though thankfully) at anything above 40MPH it gets very difficult to see the car due to it's size.
The car now has Carbon fibre chassis, lots of aluminium, Mamba 8000Kv Brushless motor and a 3 cell Lithium Polymer battery and Hitec HS56 Servo and with all electronics weighs 415grams

OK, have now almost completed my 16th scale Tamiya Tiger 1, will have to take some pics of the beast.
I was trying it outside, terrorising the dogs
(had to turn the volume down on the sound, very loud!), and handed over the remote to my wife, who then proceeded to steer it into the ‘Somme battlefield’ that is our garden right now (just had a new gas pipe put in), and got my pristine, newly painted tank absolutely caked in mud, which then took me a whole afternoon to take apart and clean (even used a water hose, the tracks and wheels were so thick with mud!)
Having said that, I was mightily impressed how it performed , it looked great negotiating all before it without incident!
Oh yes, I was one rubber wheel short, very tight of you tamiya, very tight…..

This is a planked hull kit of the Smit Rotterdam, another charismatic kit from Billings. It was my first attempt at boat building and it took me about 5 years to finish off and on. I went all out on detail again and even had working bridge doors. I had to add an amazing amount of ballast before it settled properly. It was powered with 2 Mabushi 540 electric motors.....bit too powerful as I found on the first power up, it emptied the bath!
A few more that i got for Christmas...
Ferrari F355 by Hot Wheels. Not a very good one this but You can't buy Ferrari's at the minute unless you want it produced by Hot Wheels...
Aston Martin DBS from the Casino Royale movie. Again quality and detial here is `budget`...
Lamborghini Contach by Koyosho. Quality here is getting near the mark hence a couple of pictures...
Real carpet inside along with readable instruments and real seat belts...
Cotty, you migh like these ones
BMW M5 by AUTOart. Quality here is bang on for a sub £100 model...
Note the matalic paint...
I liked that one so much that i also got the `lesser` vertion
BMW M535i by AUTOart...
Again, real carpet inside along with readable instruments and real seat belts...
And the pair of the together...

Great to see a model aeroplane at long last. The Tamiya Meteor III looks really nice. I made the Airfix 1/72 Meteor III a short while ago.
I have a few unbuilt Meteor models in my stash - all 1/72 scale:
Matchbox Meteor NF11
Frog/Movo Meteor IV
Xtrakit Meteor F8
MPM Meteor PR9
The Xtrakit/MPM models (which are from the same basic moulds) are the first modern state of the art Meteor kits in 1/72 scale.

The Tamiya one is (as always) a great kit. I have made a fair few 1:72 models, but have moved on to 1:48 just because you get more detail and less fiddly partsI have a few unbuilt Meteor models in my stash - all 1/72 scale:
