Well done on getting the GM Card Cavalier, I was the one that won the HKS Model of Anthony Reid, was a bargain at £22.00 :)Quote:

The Scalextric models really are top notch these days as has been said. The Leon's a tough cookie as well, it kept breaking my TVR Tuscan last summer during our Le Mans marathon. :p :
So can I assume Oxford Diecasts got awarded the official rights to produce it? They beat out Minichamps, Spark, etc...
Or is this an unofficial model?
I don't really care that much. it's nice to be able to buy a 1/43 S2000 Vectra! If they can produce a Vectra, now why not the Accord, S60, etc...
Another one has gone now.Quote:

It was mentioned earlier in the thread, but if you look closely they have modelled the Hatch, but they've made the notch bit at the back too long. It doesn't help either that the wing is too small.
I have been trying to convert some models to cars that weren't made, soem went well others not so!
Converted a Minichamps STW Audi to the 1996 Biela. (this one looks good as I had a spare BBR decal set)
ONYX 1999 Spence Laguna to the Will Hoy car. (very easy as all that needed changing was the name as he ran with the same number, had a spare name set from an old Formule kit I had)
Racing Replicas 1994 Mondeo of Burt to Robb Gravett (poor condition model to start with but looks OK but obvious where the changes were as the replacement decals are white and the model was an off white)
Vanguard Rally Dolomite to Tont Dron 77 car (major problems as the decal set was quite old and some of the decals flaked when applying, even with extra solution on them. Something different though).
Still got too many kits to make and trying to get hold of another Cecotto Goldeneye BMW to change it to the Brabham car as I've managed to pick up a spare decal set (easier than starting the BBR kit!)
I managed to pick up the 88 Sierra set for £20 at the GPL warehouse sale yesterday. In theory it has a damaged box, but the damage is so tiny it's barely visible. Although it's a nice set, I'm glad I didn't have to pay £56 for it as the quality is no where near Minichamps standard. Very nice for £20 though. :D
Don't forget Will Hoy's name would not have been white!Quote:
