If it was a NISSAN R32, you'd be spolit for choice, but there are VWs out there:

I'm currently scanning eBay for a Samba Green Honda CRX/del Sol. Next up will be a 207 RC LeMans, white with red stripes of course.

Is this the wrong green?

>May be the wrong PRICE!!!<

[moe]

Green is close enough, price is definitely steep.

I got this for the Turbo II rims



And obviously had to have this too

[shandyman5]

Speedy do you have a C4S model? I have been looking everywhere!

[moe]

I have a C4S, but it's a 996. I think Maisto does one of the 997.5.

Really?! I will have to look for one.

Some of my Tamiya models I did











The rear quarter panel stickers are a bitch to put on!
















RX-7 on Skyline R33 frame, home made lip




R33 chassis cut in half to fit the Rx-7 body


Work in progress from 4 or 5 years ago, gotta finish it! It will be white

Those rear wheels are insane!

I've not built any models for ages and ages

The biggest Mini here (with no wheels) is a Tamiya 1:24




And here's a 1:24 MGB that I've not touched for years either.


I've also got an unfinished 1:24 white metal kit MGB.


I built one for my bro and it was huge work because the castings were so rough.
And I also need to modify mine to represent my MGC.

But there are now 1:18 models – but not of the MGC roadster. I need to add an MGB Mk II to my 1:18 collection to build a n MGC roadster from with donor parts from an MGC GT.


I did finish a couple of 1:24 Range Rovers – one of my first 2-door and one of my first 4-door.


When I started, there was not much choice, so I took "toys" like this 1:43 X1/9 1300


as a basis for my own X1/9 1500 – which is another unfinished project


same for this Matra toy


invested a lot of time to get this far


but now I've got a ready-built 1:43 one


Just wish there was a 1:18 model. Had to buy a real one again because there isn't a good large-scale model!



Kind of lost the desire to spend the time building models when you can now get bigger models ready built...

One of my recent acquisitions 1:18 AutoArt Jaguar XJ13. It's superbly detailed
