The blue Impreza looks really nice, presume it's an AutoArt?

What makes are the blue and white 205GTIs?

yes the impreza is an autoart richard burns 22b, i've had it since new about 15 years now. they are worth quite a bit these days. the blue 1/18 205 is from otto and is a resin model. the white 1/43 is from minichamps.

[SAB888]

I'd like to get an RB5 but as far as I know, there's never been one made.

Never seen an Otto, is it a good likeness of the 205GTI? I also didn't know Minichamps have done one, will have to look out for a black one!

[k22wes]

the minichamps 205 gti only came in white or black, there is a black one on ebay at the mo.

this is the otto model. they have released a 1:12 in red aswell but its a bit pricey.

That's a hefty price for the Minichamps! The Otto looks quite good. I used to have a black 1.9 and loved it. If you have time to do more photos, that would be great, thanks.

Makes me want to dig out mine again....

[fatboy69]

I took my model collection out of the loft this week - to get the loft fully insulated - & all 1700 models are now in the front bedroom waiting for a valuation from a couple of people so that I can get them sold.

Don't want to sell them however don't have the space to display them & can't see the point of leaving them in the loft where no one can see them.

All I need is a spare room somewhere to display them again.......

I've caught the GMP Hot Rod bug. I received the 32 Ford Aero Rod with the green sharkmouth livery for my birthday and thanks to a tax rebate last week, I ordered its companion piece, which is a fixed-head 32 with light blue USAF livery.
