If you had to keep just one...

If you had to keep just one of your models, which one would it be and why...?

For me it would be one of my Tamiya Falcons. The specific one in question is a replica of my very first Tamiya, right down to the positioning of the decals. It was my first proper (ie: kit built, not a 10 quid crapper from Tandy) r/c car. Pic of the car below :

I would have to keep two, both of which are 1/12 scale Tamiya plastic kits.

They are the Ferrari F641 & the Renault FW14 both in Mansell livery.

Why? Because the man himslef has autographed both cars on the sidepods so out of my collection of over 200 plastic kits, some built & quite a few still in the original boxes unbuilt, these would be the models to keep.

If pushed to decide on just one it would be the Ferrari.

Just one? That would be difficult, although if i had to chose i suppose it would have to be the most valuable - A mint condition (i think never used) boxed 1978 Tamiya Lamborghini Countach LP500 Competition Special (58008)



Otherwise, probably the one with the most sentimental value is my Tamiya Boomerang, my first RC car, currently under restoration, which i have had since about 1988. After that, probably my fire dragon, my second car and probably the most well used/enjoyed over the years, which i have also had since about 1988/89 and is fully restored and sits in a glass cabinet in our dining room :-)

I'm restoring it - my original Tamiya Willys M38 "Wild Willy", my second r/c after a Sand Rover that got driven to death, 20 or more cars have come and gone since but that silly old one trick Pony Jeep has always stayed on the shelf!

Well it would have to be 2 for me, 1 standard & 1 of my modded ones.

Standard one would be my 1/18 UT Escort Cosworth WRC #5 Respol as it was the 1st model I bought. Bought it for £30 back in the day when you could get them in the shops. Now worth about £100+ as its mint with no decal damage and perfect windows & wheels.

Modified one would be a tough choice between my just finished Mk2 Escort rally & Escort Mk3 pickup. Mk2 is perfect & the Mk3 pickup as it took ages and a lot of hours to get right.

My first custom 6r4, others Ive decalled but this was made with spare decals & custom ones from redfirecracker.co.uk. Not normally one to show off my efforts but Im actually proud of this one.
