The 1:18 model car thread - pics & discussion

Finally got me the Stratos from Altaya, very good quality considering the price (ca 60€ incl shipping).

Only the Integrales left now in the Fiat/Lancia rally line-up...

Finally got a dream Lancia.. Expensive but very nice and a great build.

The Top Marques 1:18 Lancia Delta HF Turbo 4WD 1987.

Of course it started the Lancia winning streak in Group A and pre-dated the Integrale introduced in 1988.

Recently received the 1:18 #17 Ford Falcon FG X driven by Scott McLaughlin to the 2018 Virgin Australia Supercars Championship. After losing the title on the last lap of the last race of the season in 2017 ( https://youtu.be/Z3tRuiyCMLw) the 2018 title was something of a redemption and the last season of the Falcon before Ford teams switched to the Mustang.



A limited edition model was produced by Authentic Collectables and I've included a few images below. Safe to say the quality is good as well as the accuracy and attention to detail on minor sponsors logos and race specific graphics.

Nice bit of kit. Also great to see an opening model with so much sealed/resin stuff around.

[Pereldh]

Great looking model with details! Altho anything aussie racing is alien to me. (Been in a horrible Ford Falcon taxi from Sydney airport thats it )

Since I can’t afford a real one, here’s my 1:18 TVR Sagaris. Love to find that cheap, LHD Sagaris one day...

Updated the display shelf, Fiat/Lancia rally history. As can be seen, 2 are missing which I plan to buy, first and last edition of the Integrale.

Take a look at Grand Prix Models, it looks like they have a couple in stock:

And search “TS050”

Looks like I got the last No 8 car!

Now then, what do I tell the boss that it cost?!

Opened some boxes that had been sitting in my hallway for a while (annoying the wife!)



Brown box has an Otto 1/12 E30 M3. Everything else 1/18.

Loving your work.

[ferrisbueller]

Thanks. I just never got round to opening them so they sat there piled up. Took up a decent amount of space in the hall. Wife got annoyed and said if they weren't 'sorted' by the end of the bank holiday weekend they'd end up outside.

Yep, Minichamps BMW M1. These new models are sealed which is disappointing (same with the E30 M3s) because they aren't exactly cheap. Really loved the livery so had to have it.


Sold out pretty quickly iirc.

Thought this livery was really fun also:

Does anybody know where I could purchase a model, 1:18 preferred, of a white E30 M3 Convertible? Seems to be a few other colours out there but unable to find a white convertible.

DHE, I don't collect BMWs but I've looked at the places I do use and can't see any in white. It may be possible to get another colour and get someone to respray it for you. There are some people on here that do some excellent work and may take it on.
