I too and only interested in GTR's; just short tails. I have been buying sometimes more than 1 of each that have come to auction as they have been so cheap I can [hopefully ] sell them at a later date for a profit to fund more buys, whislt keeping just the one of each for Thomas.

I'd like to see also good 1/43 handbuilts of the long tails. Especially 19R in presentation livery and the 1997 Suzuka #44 as well as 22R 1998 FIA GT Davidoff #15 (not the Day Off version). Also better versions of others such as the FINAs would be nice. At the moment there're some nice ones, but they're in 1/24 like the Studio27 kits, and the kits cost already 150 EUR or more.

I got my Kyosho 1:64 set today.

NICE! How big are they? I shied away from 1/43's as I liked the 1/18's and thought they would be too small - they are pretty good , and I have seen Erik post about a 1/87 - have you / can you get pics of the 1/64's next to say the 1/43's and / or 1/18's for a scale comparison?

This is kind of a crappy shot, as I've doubled it in size from what I originally had, but it shows a PMA 1/87th, then a PMA 1/64th, then a Minichamps 1/43rd, then a UT 1/18th, and finally a PMA 1/12th.



When I get around to it, I'll take a better version of this shot with all my silver F1 in those scales.

The PMA 1/64ths are kind of oddly shaped - a bit too long, or a bit too flat. I held off on the purchase of these Kyosho's waiting to get a better idea of how exactly they look in comparison, and DM's pics seem to show they're much more accurate.

I hope these will help a little about the scales. These are my Minichamps 1/43, 1/64 and 1/87 models of the standard road car. BTW the 1/87 was my first F1 model in the 90's.



I'm trying to stick with the 1/43s as the bigger ones take too much space and the smaller ones look too much like toys to me. But still they're a nice addition to the F1 miniatures. Funny thing is that Kyosho made the same mistake with the Lark #60 on the engine cover coloring as Minichamps!

I have the Minichamps F1's in 1/64 and 1/87 scale (red/silver/green and BMW) . Always perplexed why the 1/87 scale have exterior mirrors and the 1/64ths don't!

[DMFerrari]

Kyosho did pretty well on these. I just hope they come out with 07r soon. I have it in 1:43rd, but would love to see it in 1:64.

Searching youtube and found this, 1/24 scale #13R.
Looks quite nice!!!

[Sami Aaltonen]

WOW, was there ever a financial crisis? Or did the US dollar loose that much value in a couple of years as originally these sold around $1200 in 2007. I would rather have couple of those nice 1/24 Larks than this as it has been painted using an incorrect red: it should be the fluorescent red, which is closer to orange in a daylight, not a solid red.

[Sami Aaltonen]

Minichamps has some new information about comming releases:
This moment example 1/18 #01R Le Mans winner's case is available
June 2010.....
So again...delay after delay......

I think not suprise for anyone here?

[hurstg01]

No, no real surprise there Sami

I hoped to take some more pics of my 1/43's, but it seems the children have other ideas - they'll be on here soon

[hurstg01]

Just bought this - will take a better pic when it arrives



Apparently it was a fair price, although more than I have paid for other AB models recently
