GT Racing Models, what do you got

[Mark in Oshawa]

I wish I had the disposable income to start collecting again. I love the 1/43 scale and I collected sports cars, F1 cars and NASCAR's in that size, but alas, NASCAR in 1/43 are not around any more to buy. Shame really, the pride of that part of my collection is a limited edition "Racing Champions" Alan Kulwicki Ford done up in the Army paint job he ran at Daytona during the first Gulf War. I also have a Panoz "batmobile" GT car, an Audi r8, a Jackie Stewart Tyrell that is the last year he won the World Championship, a Richard Petty Superbird, a Ferrari 312t4 that Gilles Villeneuve drove, the Rothmans Williams that Jacques won the World championship in, A Scott Goodyear CART car that finished second at Indy, and numerous others....

Just with the period of unrest in my financial life, little race cars has taken a back seat for some time....

IMSA fan, you should take some photos of your collection and post them for a us, I would love to see your work....

As you can see, I have a few, over 800 1:43 in total. I have a huuge F1 collection, as well as loads of Class 2 touring cars, DTM, NASCAR and Rally cars both new and classic.
Most of my sportscars are Minichamps,Spark and Ixo/Onyx but I do have some Altaya and Solido(originals!) and GMP (very good models, excellent value!), but also some Provence Moulage and other handbuilt models (The rarest of which is the Porsche 917/80 GpC. Coupe converted by the Kremer brothers to race in 1982.

Ummm, mind sharing when you plan to go on vacation, Osella?

I'm insanely jealous. Impressive collection

[Iain]

I've got the #007 Aston Martin by Autoart (1:18) and am looking at a Solido model of one of the other DBR9s - mainly because its half the price.

Anyone know what the quality of the Solido models are like or am I better off saving up for another Autoart one and paying the extra?

I know someone with the Solido #59 car from 2005 and it's a good model. Not seen an Autoart equivalent in person to compare it, but £20 or thereabouts for the Solido version is money well spent I'd say.

I think I'm going to have to sell some sometime, 'cos if I ever move house I'm going to need a truck just for the models!

I really want more 1:43 NASCAR's but they only seem to come in 1:24 in die-cast.. Anyone know any makers/sources? I know of Action and the early 90's Quartzo models, but haven't seen any more modern 1:43'ds...
