BTCC Models

Hi guys!

This is a messsage to say that I would love for you all to have a look at my new website and join my forum.

BTCC Diecast Models Homepage

It is still a work in progress, models are being added all the time. The website is for reference purposes only and cars will only be added when I have the time to add them. To see how it will look when finished, have a look at 1998 season.

Please join the forum and contribute to help build knowledge on how models are made etc. Lots of other things to discuss too!

Got my Cruze today, looks superb! Number 8 of 25, so if they are selling sequentially, a third of the run gone already. Turner SEAT came as well, looks very smart, but given the limited changes from the existing one, to be expected. Really looking forward to whatever they release next!

Not sure how yours can be number 8 when mine is!

Actually, it's 6 on a closer inspection. The font they use makes it look like an 8. Only if you look very, very closely can you tell the difference.

I have finally been motivated to complete some more conversions.

The next one I am going to attempt is the 1991 Tim Harvey Labatts BMW E30.

Does anyone know what the correct paint is to use for the car, and what wheels are best for it?

I am using an IXO Racing E30 for the conversion which has the BBS Wire Wheels currently.

lol Glad theres not 2 8s ;)

I may have found some alloys for that 1991 car, 4 euros for all 4 wheels with tyres but would need to be sprayed gold.

Honestly I couldn't care less about limited editions or whatever. I'm not looking to ever sell them, so re-sale values are irrelevant.

I don't care about the numbers either but i do care about whether they are limited edition. Much nicer to have a really rare model compared to an ONYX model from a run of 2500 for example.

Who makes them? You have to watch some wheel manufacturers, you dont get 4 wheels the same size in some sets?

I'd rather everyone who wanted one was able to get one.
