Cool! I'm drawn to smaller and smaller scale stuff, but my first reaction was they're 72nd and why did you chose to mount them on your car's wiper!

Phwoar, keep your Escorts, I'd love that on my drive! Nice colour choice complemented by the gold Campags.
Feb '86, school skiing trip to the Italian Alps. Discovered skiing but also saw a street 124 Abarth in that red from the coach window...was a memorable trip!

I love the 131 Abarth, particularly the blue rally version with the yellow flares. Still looking for a 1/43 version at a reasonable price.

Contemporary diecast so not resin-crisp but really good shape and has boingy suspension for added play value:

Would benefit from a little detail painting. Other liveries listed too.

By a strange coincidence, I had actually seen that one on eBay.

I was the only bidder, so it will be on its way to me soon. (Agree about the detail painting.)

Just uploading some photos of a car my brother is doing at the moment.
I'm putting them up here because he's not sure that it is of good enough quality. (I think it is)
Still has the interior to finish and a few other bits and pieces as per the photo of the real thing at the top. He will be doing a Bugatti type 35B I believe next.

Looks great!

May I ask what size and manufacturer it is?

Ah, I see, thanks.
Great build, especially the little details like the weathering around the panel gaps and the rivets.

Not sure if there is a separate thread for this, but does anyone here collect Play Forever? I have these and couple of 911s, and I want to add the GT40 and Countach models. They are awesome.

They are cute as hell, really well observed and interpreted designs.
I'll confess a tenuous connection; I Cad/Cam'd the tooling for the first roadster and 'plane. Creator Julian is a lovely chap, background in product design, drove an S107 SLC back then.

I have eventually managed to get my hands on a model I have been seeking for a while… when the PH smiley did Le Mans

I like what you did with the aeroplane in the frame.
