I see Peter is doing his usual small snippet to get us excited but still actually revealing nothing!!! :crazy:

Is it the Spark BMW's (as per VX1054)? Is that worth waiting for as there isn't that much of a difference with the ones released.

Is it an Oxford Vectra? There models aren't the best to be really excited for.

I'm hoping we will finally have a BTCC Seat Leon.

Come on Peter either tell us or don't say anything at all, I can't handle the smoke and mirrors anymore from you!!!! :arrows:

To anyone who is bored of ambiguous posts, it's going to be a 1:43 IXO model of Jason Plato's SEAT from 2008. If you already knew that then I'm sorry for sticking my head in.

The reason I have not given the full details on the model is because I don't know the full details!

When I gave you all the details of the RAC BMW's I was a hero. Now because I haven't told all about the SEAT's I am the f***ing Villain!

When I know the full details I will tell!

Anyone know the proper price for them?

The problem was your post " If you can't be bothered to find it yourself, I'm not going to tell you." when I still haven't seen the information anywhere else apart from in this thread and that one ebay auction! It's not exactly wide-spread info.

If it's a standard 1:43 IXO SEAT like the WTCC ones that been officially announced then I'd expect them to be £39.99 each.

The Plato model I posted the link to is one of those pre-production models that comes "out of the back door" and the Chinese pass off as the full monty. If you look at my post earlier in this thread you will see I mentioned the Altaya Seat Collection part work in Spain. This model is the next scheduled release in that series and will be available for about £19.99 (certainly from me anyway!).

I have just received the above model and have a question on it.

Have Trofeu got it wrong or am I going mad! :confused:

The registration plate says "XOO 341F", now I thought that plate was normally raced by Chris Craft (in 1968 and 1969) and John Fitzpatrick drove on the plate "XOO 342F". The books I have seem to agree with this thought, did they swap cars at anytime or have I just completely got it wrong?

Also the only reference I can find to the 112 car was at Mallory Park and he didn't finish in this race, isn't this a strange car to pick for making?

Have just bought the 2008 Plato Leon from ebay for £19.99 plus £6 postage to UK. Thought was a fair price, I presume when it is released in the UK it will be priced like the WTCC Leon's, which would be nearer £40.

Finished another couple of kits and bought a couple of missing models from my collection.

Bought the 1997 Warwick (2nd livery) and Reid, the Spice Capri, Fitzpatrick Escort. I also managed to pick up a Vectra Test car is a batch of Vectra's not long ago.

Finished a 1994 Needell Primera and 1994 Neal Mazda and converted a Minichamps BMW to the Brabham Goldeneye car.

Hoping to pick up the 2008 Plato car but I need to sell a BBR kit first to afford it!!

I have got a few project on the go but need decals producing or reproducing (I hate Formule kit decals they are so thin and break even with solution on them).

If you want to know which kit it's the 1995 Goldeye BMW (now no longer required) and yes it's on ebay ;)

Well spotted!

The Turner car is not an official available model. It is a conversion I have.

It is quite easy to do, if you have applied decals to models before. I have some decal sheets available if anyone wants to try.

Just send a PM.

Thanks PDS for the decals, I have now made the Turner model and I must say how easy it was to make and how perfect your decals fitted. :D

Looks like some manufacturers (Kyosho and HPI) are slowly producing more of the JTCC ST cars. Though it's a no brainer considering they're just really producing new decals as they can reuse the old car moulds. But still, it's cool to see you can buy a '94 Alfa Romeo that raced in Japan.

You can buy those HPI alfa's on eBay for between 30-45 pounds ish, using 'buy it now' from certain business sellers.

I now own both the Tarquini and Simoni Minichamps models, but i would love to know how the HPI differs from the originals, whats the quility like?

I think it looks really good. Model is nicely finished and it comes on a good base with a silver plaque with the car details on it. It is at least on a par with Minichamps quality.

The HPI Afla's are so much better than the minichamp version. The body shape is more accurate.

And despite the previous post, the presentation car for the BTCC is worth collecting if that is what you want. The model represents the car used to promote Alfa joining the BTCC in 1994.

KILOHMUNNS

10th November 2009, 22:43

I have a question for anyone who collects/makes models!!

Do you think there it's worth putting a couple of BBR models that I made in my early making days on ebay?

The models aren't brilliant as they were done before I bought a spraygun and I always struggled to attach the windows so they are lifting off the model. There are 2 Audi's (a 1996 and 1997) and a 94 Nissan.

With the fees as they are so you think it would be worth it?

Thanks

PDS

12th November 2009, 22:00

Chris.
It depends on the condition of the models you have for sale. If you have bits not sticking to the car, I assume that you have tried to re-fix the bits? Not many people would be interested and may only buy them for spares, assuming there is anything salvagable on it.

I just bought Gordon Spice's 1978 Capri made by Vanguards (Corgi) and its a pretty decent model. It comes with the limited edition card and a small booklet that gives you some info on the model and Gordon himself. You have to fit the mirrors yourself but thats easy.
I will be getting the other cars they have made without a doubt.

KILOHMUNNS

21st November 2009, 17:23

It's a nice model but Corgi got it wrong, it's actually the 1980 car rather than the 1978 car as stated. I cross referenced it in the Gordon Spice book. I'm still waiting for them to release the Hodgetts Escort, it should have been released in October! They have also announced a Vince Woodman Capri.

thetrooper_uk

21st November 2009, 22:55

I also have a Ford Sierra collection going on, rally/road cars, got a couple of those too.

I bought a 94 Cecotto ADAC Cup BMW 320i last weekend from a market stall in town, trouble is i now realise i already have one of those, i think my collection is getting a little large and i cant remember what i have got, made a couple of these mistakes now lol, or i suppose my memory might be going.

The HPI Volvo 850 estate's are now on eBay.

Bit pricey though. £42.99 seems to be the cheapest option at the moment. Indeed eBay for BTCC models is going down hill these days, everyone is either a dealer, or they have gone down the buy it now route, hardly any bargains to be had anymore.

14th December 2009, 22:47

yeah daz90. Ordered mine on e-bay. A seller from Hong Kong. I have had stuff from him before. He excepted a 'best offer'.

Yeah it seems the ones they have done are really good quality and they always seem to do a good job of the WTCC BMW's although this year they didnt bother making a facelift 1/43 car so hopefully they will if they do the 2010 WTCC BMW's

I did buy a HPI Volvo Estate in the end, the Rydell version, and i have to say it really is a stunning model, better in my opinion than the Minichamps version too, and more than three times better than the Motorpro version ;)

I'll second that..

And the Alfa of Tarquini is better than the Minichamps version..

I can see a few of you have looked at the Primera's, I now have a few more for you to have a look at! :)

I have now finished by 1995 Cavalier's of Thompson & Cleland (not quite the full set as I would like to do an Allam as well but can't get hold of a model). They came out well but not as good as I liked and I had a couple of problems with the wheels and windows. :(

I have also updated my list with a few other models that I hadn't added before, (1984 Rouse Rover, 1985 Hodgetts Escort and a couple of ONYX models) and taken out others to make it just 1/43 scale BTCC cars. Now only need 2 ONYX models (1998 Rydell & 1997 Harvey) and 1 Minichamps (1995 Rydell), does anyone know where I might be able to get one from (apart from ebay) or is willing to sell?

Here are the links

I would love to add a 95 Cleland Cavalier to my collection, i am rather jelous of you kilohmunns ;)

One Onyx car that persistantly eludes me is the 1998 Peter Kox Accord, for love nor money i can never find one, been outdone a couple of times on eBay too, it seems to be a bloody rare Onyx model.

I had the Cleland kit for 5 years before I finally made it!

I managed to get the Kox car about 3 weeks ago for a very reasonable 14.99 on a buy it now, I was extrememly lucky as I signed in just at the right time (it has only been listed for 20 minutes :p ). I've notice that the BTCC ONYX models prices are creeping up now, gone are the days you could pick one up for under £10.

I have added the 1994 Jeff Allam Cavalier. Some of you may have seen it listed on eBay recently, i am rsther proud of this one, indeed i didn't even know Racing Replicas had even made and sold this model.

You paid a very good price for it and Chris paid over £100 for it originally.

As far as I'm aware Racing Replicas never made this model and the guy Chris bought this model off did many conversions, as at the time he was also selling a couple of World Touring models (a Spanish entrant and a Cleland one for 1994) and Racing Replicas certainly didn't make any of those. They are really easy models to convert as I have done a couple of them.

I was going to go for it but decided not to as I have a model kit of this model that it currently under construction.

Thanks, my collection has now turned into a bit of an obsession! But I can't take the credit for the information on the link, the more modern cars comes from the year books or internet while the older cars in the collection gets cross referenced with Frank De Jong's excellent touring car site.

They were made for all the BMW dealers who were part of the "accident exchange" program.

Got my Simoni 1994 155 today. Spent a while looking at it thinking something wasn't quite right, sure enough, compared it against the Tarquini one and realised it had the retracted post-Oulton aero kit! Very odd HPI made two different versions. I assume everyone elses are like this too?

Good spot..

Checking on fleabay it's only the two Tarquini cars (BTCC & CET) plus the road version that have the 'Full' aero kit.

Everyone one else is playing by the rules...

That is the current plan, i will be leaving them in a nice cozy big box/boxes (there are quite a few) and they will be left at my mothers for now.

I have listed two bbr kits on eBay though, i wont ever build them myself, and its a shame just to leave them unbuilt on a shelf.

Onslow cole one goes for between £30-35 and turkington a bit more.

Just bought 2 Onslow -Cole cars on e-bay for £26 each. There is one on there at the moment quite cheap.

Turkington cars come along vary rarely and as JasonPotato says, quite a bit more... Someone a while ago was trying to sell one at £49.99.

Apart from that, I haven't seen one in ages.

Nice model but it's ashame it's the wrong car! The 94 4door car has been used rather than the 2 door coupe.

I wonder how much it will go for and how many people have noticed it's wrong?

JasonPotato

20th February 2011, 18:40

Funny you should say that, i did a little research after i place my bid on it :) and noticed that too but im sure it will go for silly money so im not bothered if i don't win it.

It's a lot of money for a 4 door 1993 BMW!

At least the seller is right, It is very rare! Possibly one of a kind. But still wrong..

I saw it when it was listed, but knew it was wrong, the model looks good and i would buy it myself, but i would not pay more than twenty quid. Clearly somone else is willing to pay a high price for it though. Good luck to whoever that might be :)

26th February 2011, 16:36

It's really nice for the money. I actually think it's the Altaya distributor that I bought it from, going by what's on the invoice.

A Boardman model would be good, as would the other Leons we've seen here. But I think those are only ever likely to be available if somebody does a conversion, which is a shame.

10th March 2011, 12:31

In the last couple of days I've received the two TWR Volvo 850's from the BTCC in 1995 in 1:18 scale. Fully opening and fully detailed, they are stunning! Going for about £100 on Ebay or £130 at GPL. I got my Rydell one for £70 by reserve ordering ages ago!! Well worth that price.

Rydell Estate supposed to be released this year too. The models are really really good, had some problems with the Rydell one that had to go back but replacement arrived this morning and is perfect. Anyone whose had a V8 Supercar 1:18 model from Australia will know what to expect, full wiring and cockpit detail inside, as well as having fully opening doors, bonnet and boot. Lovely models.

The prices of models these days are crazy. There's 3 Racing Replicas Cavaliers on eBay with about 20 mins to go, all at £50+! I got my 2 for £35-£40 each a few years back. I was watching the Ecurie Ecosse car, but I can't justify £60 or more on an old model of poor quality like the RR ones are. That's about 90% of a tank of fuel for me!

daz90

3rd April 2011, 20:22

Racing Replicas are not the best, but apart from those there is not alot of choice if you want a BTCC Cavalier, ok there are the odd resin kit knocking about, but unless you are a pro builder or you know one then Racing Replica models is as good as it gets, and they are very rare. I am not at all surprised they went for 60 quid or so, indeed i have seen them fetch more.

However, you do have a valid point Iain, prices of models do seem to be higher now, which is good if you are selling. But too many of them on eBay are offered at a buy it now price, too many dealers perhaps? anyway there are not the bargains that there once was on eBay, not any more.

JasonPotato

4th April 2011, 19:51

daz90 has hit the nail on the head, if you want a bargain Ebay is not your place anymore. There are just too many people that use it and your chances of getting a bargain are very slim. I got my 1993 cleland cavalier last year for £25 if i remember correctly but that was because i contacted the seller as soon as it came on so really its about luck.

What i do find wierd is that the RR models go for £50+ when they are limited to 7500 pieces but yet the Onyx models are limited to 2000 pieces but go for between £10-30? But as Iain says models are going for crazy prices at the moment maybe because BTCC is more popular than what it was a few years ago when you could get the models very cheap.

I did a deal with someone last week for an RR 1995 Valvoline Mondeo for £30, sorry if anyone was watching it ;)

I'm looking to convert a 1:18 Chevrolet Cruze model I acquired last year into a full race model. Currently it has two seat in it (both race seats) like a rally car, and is liveried in base WTCC 2009 colours (no numbers, driver names, colours etc). I'm undecided as to whether to just do a simple conversion into a WTCC 2009 car, probably Menu's, or something a bit harder, like turning it into Plato's championship winning Cruze of '10, which would require custom decals of which I have no experience. Either way I'm going to have to get some 1:18 door plate number and window names. Anyone know of somewhere that does them?

I was saying to Kilohmunns the other day it's not the time to be buying but if your planning on selling then you can make a small fortune. Good luck to the people who are prepared to pay that for some models, i wouldn't mind that 1994 cleland model but i bet it'll go for £70+. Shame i didn't start collecting like 5 years ago when the models were cheap.

vx1054

31st May 2011, 13:40

I have noticed that too, they seem to be going for good money every time at the moment, where as a few years ago you'd only ever get those prices if you were lucky. I was fortunate to get most of the Racing Replica's then and paid around the £30 mark for most of the models.

You can always try an international search and see if anything crops up thats cheaper?

I would love the 1995 Radisich Mondeo, i have the Burt one, however i am unable to buy anything at the minute, i moved to Romania from England a few months ago, and i was using my ebay uk account here, however they seem to think that i was being hacked when i signed in, and now they have buggered it up for me, my password is now locked and i cant get a new one....

Oh, and my collection is still in England, all nicely boxed up ready for next summer when i can reunite myself with it properly, however the wife seems to think that they are toys and our son can play with them!!! so i might be forced to sell them yet, they will never be used as toys!

That 200 mark is getting ever closer.

26th June 2011, 17:40

Impressive! as for myself, i will consider my collection to be complete once i have the last of the Onyx cars added, i think i just need 2 now, a 98 Leslie and the 99 Radermaker Volvo, then i will have every Onyx BTCC car. Ofcourse the 85 Rouse Sierra is a must also, and if i get a chance and some spare cash i really want the 1995 Volvo 850 in 1/18 scale too.

Cant buy anything at the minute though, my eBay account is broken due to me logging in here in Romania, they seem to think i am hacking my own account! and my collection is not with me and i cant remember exactly what i do and dont have. Cant wait for next summer though to be reunited with them, of all the things i miss from England, i miss my collection of BTCC cars, Nottingham Forest, (City ground, former season ticket holder) oh and my family too.
